The NFL Draft is more than three months away, but with NFL coaches being fired and hired, many teams are already looking towards the future, which for many teams means a future starting quarterback. Last year was not the strongest QB class with many of college football’s top ten quarterbacks returning to their schools for 2023. This year, many of those quarterbacks are now entering the NFL Draft, meaning this class could be loaded with picks. In a year where more quarterback injuries happened than normal in the NFL, having a good year of QB draft picks may be just…

During a halftime interview at the BYU vs. Baylor basketball game, Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark was brought on for a short interview to discuss the new Ferrell Center and the success of the Big 12. While discussing the footprint of the Big 12, Yormark said the following: “We were very ambitious with our vision…When I inherited the conference we were in five states and two time zones…now we are in ten states and all four time zones with a footprint of 90 million people. I love the composition of this conference…but if there is an opportunity to continue strengthen…

Keeping up with College Football Conference realignment can seem like a daunting task where teams are switching conferences constantly, making it difficult to know which teams are in which conference. This is a somewhat new problem. While conference realignment has always been part of the game, there hasn’t been this level of change since 2011-2014, when the Pac-12, Big East, Big 10, and ACC all saw teams added and changed. Since then, until this past year, realignment had paused with the exception of teams like Coastal Carolina moving up to FBS or Charlotte ending Independence. Last year, conference realignment once…

There was a time when the biggest storylines of college football’s offseason dealt with national signing day, the NFL Draft, and the spring scrimmage that most teams hold at the end of April. That time has long passed. Today, college football seems to find headlines 365 days a year, and this 2024 offseason looks no different. Yes, college football is over, but if you continue to follow the sport, you should have no issue finding entertainment between now and Week 0. Here are just some of the biggest storylines of college football. 1. Conference Realignment Conference realignment has dominated the…

College Football is over, and it will never be the same. Following the final whistle of tonight’s National Championship Game, Washington is now, for all intents and purposes, a conference rival with Michigan. The Championship Game went as all championship games should go (sorry TCU), and featured a back-and-forth fight between two 14-0 teams who definitely deserved to be there. If you a reading this article, you probably watched the game, so there is no reason to recap anything here, rather, here are five takeaways from the game that will have an impact going into the off-season. 1. Big 10…

Maliq Carr is most well known for his acrobatic one-handed catches that he consistently made for the Spartans.

UCF Football has had a great off-season in the transfer portal, and the good news continues to roll in. Western Kentucky offensive tackle Wes Dorsey and East Carolina cornerback Antione Jackson both committed to the Knights, boosting two areas that the team desperately needs help in. Antione Jackson Has P5 Size and Speed One of the new trends in the transfer portal is to pick up stars from G5 schools. Jackson and Johnson are a perfect example of this. UCF Football certainly has been utilizing this strategy, getting six of their twelve transfers from G5/FCS schools. Antione Jackson is a…

The NFL Week 18 storylines will be dominated by the teams making or missing the Playoffs and seeding, but there will also be multiple records broken and many more players who will move up the record boards for single-season records at the league and franchise level. For example, CJ Stroud already became only the fifth rookie to ever throw for 4,000 yards in a rookie season. Puka Nacua is four catches away and 28 yards from breaking the NFL rookie records in catches and receiving yards. Neither of those records are broken if there isn’t an NFL Week 18. College…
