The AP Top 25 poll for week 2 has been released and there are quite a few surprises. While there weren’t a ton of upsets or ranked matchups in the first week of the season, there was still a lot of shakeup in the rankings that will leave some fan bases already feeling a lot of hope for the rest of the season while others feeling like the season is already over. Of course, it is very easy to overreact after just one game, but the rankings do matter, and they do play a huge part in the narratives around…

Week one of college football is in the books and it wasn’t short of plenty of drama and great games. It can be easy to overreact to the first game of the season and draw conclusions that simply won’t even be a storyline by the end of the season, Even though week one may not have as much impact on a team’s overall success as we may think at this moment, it is still one of twelve games, and the results of week one can impact later in the season. They can also set the tone for the rest of…

The first week (or two) of college football is over, and we are already learning a lot about what this season will look like. While there weren’t any massive upsets of FCS schools taking down P4 powerhouses, plenty of performances still showed that teams are, or are not, where the preseason expectations were. AP Poll is Still Very Important Some people don’t seem to believe that the AP poll carries any weight anymore since the the final rankings and playoff spots are now determined by the College Football Playoff rankings that come out in October. Yes, this is technically true,…

The first week of college football is in the books, and while there weren’t many ‘great’ games, there were still plenty of great games throughout the day to keep any fan happy. Whether it was starting the week off with NDSU vs. Colorado or finishing up with UNLV and Houston, the weekend was full of entertaining games, and teams have already begun to make statements (or not) for the rest of the season. AP Top 25 College Football Poll Likely Won’t See Drastic Change With there not being a ton of huge matchups between ranked teams, the AP Poll is…

College Football fans get to watch their team play 12, maybe 13 times per year. For being the most popular college sport by far, this makes every weekend of football very special, and in a certain sense, rare. Despite only have 12 guaranteed games, teams spend one of these games on playing an FCS school, which over 95% of the time results in a win, often by more than three scores. Of course, this means a win, meaning teams only need five additional wins to reach bowl eligibility, but the question remains: should FBS teams, particularly P4 teams, schedule FCS…

College Football is back! We are just three days away from the first full Saturday of College Football and it can be a good problem to try to catch all of the action throughout the day. But sometimes, when one game ends and another starts, it can be easy to miss or overlook another game going on at the same time. Typically, there are four recognized TV windows during the day: 12:00 PM ET, 3:30 PM ET, 7:00 PM ET, and 10:30 PM ET. Here is each game from each window that everyone who is a common fan of the…

Today is the big NFL cut day, and hundreds of players around the league get the bad news that they will not be playing for the team they have been practicing with. While many of these players are the kind of players that nobody has heard of outside of the fans of their college school, these are still elite athletes who have spent their entire lives reaching for the NFL dream. So when they get cut, what happens? While there isn’t an answer for everybody, players take a few common paths. Get Signed Somewhere Else Many players who get cut…

College Football is here, and with it are some storylines that dominate the offseason. Storylines such as how many SEC teams will make the College Football Playoff, how the transfer portal will affect teams, and new coaches have and will continue to be headlined now and throughout the season. Although these storylines and topics are important, they aren’t the only topics that should be discussed. Here are three that nobody is (but should be) paying attention to. 1. ESPN vs FOX ESPN or Disney is the primary sponsor of the SEC, while FOX is the same for the Big 10.…

This past weekend, we saw the two-minute warning debut in the college game, and the reactions have been mixed. While the two-minute warning has been part of the NFL game for some time, not every college football fan also loves the NFL or follows it close enough to notice the difference it makes. The new timeout hasn’t been around long enough to know exactly how it will affect the game, but there are a few changes we can expect. 1. Extra Timeout/Victory Formation The two-minute warning will give an additional timeout. This can be both a help and a hindrance…

College Football gave us a nice appetizer last Saturday, highlighted by Florida State and Georgia Tech, but this week, the season really gets going. Of course, we all know that the biggest matchups will feature games like Georgia vs. Clemson, USC vs. LSU, and Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M, but they certainly aren’t the only games for fans to watch. Here are three games going under the radar but should be watched. South Dakota State vs Oklahoma State 2:00 ET ESPN+ Last year, Oklahoma State played in the Big 12 Championship and was one win away from a NY6 bowl. They also…
