For the first time since 2016, Colorado football finished the season ranked in the AP Poll. In year three of the coach Deion Sanders era, the Colorado Buffaloes went 9-4, housed the Heisman Trophy Award winner in Travis Hunter, and earned a trip to the Alamo Bowl, an eventual loss to the BYU Cougars. Following a one-win season in 2022, Colorado brought in Sanders, who rejuvenated the Buffaloes’ roster with NFL-caliber talent. Among them was Hunter and his two sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders. Although Hunter and Shedeur will likely be top 15 draft selections in the upcoming NFL Draft,…

It’s been four seasons since the Auburn football program posted a .500 or better record. It’s been five seasons since the Auburn Tigers finished the season inside the AP Poll Top 25, going 9-4 in their second to final year under the guidance of head coach Gus Malzahn. Last year, for a fourth consecutive campaign last year, Auburn lost seven games, an unprecedented stretch of mediocrity for a program with two undefeated seasons in the 21st century. The Tigers backed up the Brink’s truck this offseason to stack their roster via the transfer portal. On Wednesday, On3 released their top…

Georgia football has become the class of the SEC since head coach Kirby Smart took over the reins in 2016. During his nine-year run, Georgia finished in the top ten of the College Football Playoff Poll eight times, won at least 11 games seven times, and secured two national championships. This year, for the fourth consecutive season, Georgia played in the SEC Championship game, beating the Texas Longhorns en route to another CFP appearance. However, disappointing to Georgia Bulldogs fans, following a bye in the first round, the SEC power fell to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Sugar…

This year, Alabama football did not make the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff, its first season under head coach Kalen DeBoer. Despite a 9-4 record, many felt DeBoer and the Alabama Crimson Tide failed to meet expectations following leadman Nick Saban’s epic 17-year run. Alabama was dominant under Saban, who will be immortalized in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2025. Saban led Alabama football to six national titles, making his mark on the program and college football arguably the greatest of any head coach in sports history. With Saban destined for the College Football Hall of Fame, the…

Colorado football had a memorable season despite failing to qualify for the Big 12 Championship. Following a four-win season, their first under head coach Deion Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes exploded for a nine-win campaign, finishing the year 23rd in the final College Football Playoff standings. More notably, Colorado housed the 2024 Heisman Trophy Award winner, two-way superstar Travis Hunter. The first to play both ways at an elite level since Charles Woodson at Michigan circa 1997, Hunter took the college football world by storm, logging a 1,200-yard receiving season while leading the Big 12 in passes defended. On Tuesday, Fox…

Following a 10-3 season, Oklahoma football went a disappointing 6-7 this year, concluding with a heartbreaking 21-20 loss against the Navy Midshipmen in the Armed Forces Bowl. During a season with a laughable amount of injuries to the pass-catching core, Oklahoma Sooners star quarterbacks Jackson Arnold and Michael Hawkins Jr. labored, throwing for just 15 touchdowns against five interceptions across 13 games. Following the end of the regular season, Arnold darted for the transfer portal, landing with the Auburn Tigers. Despite the presence of Hawkins, a dual-threat freshman quarterback who flashed playmaking ability this year, Oklahoma football perused the transfer…

The college football season will conclude on Monday, with the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish competing in the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff title. The 12-team CFP was largely successful, with regular-season tilts holding more weight for two-loss teams. For example, the Ole Miss Rebels and Alabama Crimson Tide, competing in the hyper-competitive SEC, had postseason life late in the season despite multiple losses. Ole Miss underwent a program-defining season this year, albeit missing the College Football Playoff. During their 10-3 season, which ended in a Gator Bowl victory, fans became critical of Ole Miss and…

On Monday, the Ohio State football program will play for the eighth national title in program history as they face off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the season finale. In the leadup to the highly anticipated matchup, head coach Ryan Day finds himself squarely in the media’s crosshairs as he attempts to lead Ohio State to their first national championship under his tutelage. With Day destined for a battle against Notre Dame for the title of college football supremacy, the media brought up an old feud between him and former Irish bench boss Lou Holtz, which stems back…

The College Football Playoff national championship will feature two teams unaligned with the SEC for the second consecutive season. From 2006 to 2022, the SEC secured all but three national titles, but the introduction of NIL and revenue sharing has shifted the power balance in college football. On Monday, one prominent media outlet revealed a way-too-early top 25, featuring this year’s two remaining teams, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Ohio State Buckeyes, near the top. With the publication of an opinionated piece like a top 25 for the 2025 season comes its fair share of criticism. Following CBS…

The Alabama football program has had a tough past few weeks. Late last month, the Alabama Crimson Tide lost in the ReliaQuest Bowl against the Michigan Wolverines despite closing as a massive 16.5-point favorite. Alabama also yielded numerous players to the transfer portal, headlined by offensive weapons Kendrick Law and Justice Haynes. On Monday, the Crimson Tide took another big hit, losing the commitment from 2025 five-star offensive tackle recruit Ty Haywood. A six-foot-five, 285-pound offensive tackle from Denton, Texas, Haywood opted to reopen his recruiting while holding offers from Michigan, Florida State, Oklahoma, Miami, LSU, Ohio State, Ole Miss,…
