Is ESPN disrespecting Wisconsin this upcoming 2022 season? Seems like it to me. You can say in the past two decades, the Badgers have been one of the most consistent football programs. After the release of ESPN’s FPI, Wisconsin is a top-5 team in the BIG Ten. But not to win the West Division? So, Who Is Projected To Win The BIG10 West? Hold on to your butts Badgers fans, ESPN’s FPI predicted the Nebraska Cornhuskers to represent in the West. Now, I do not have a clue why the Cornhuskers out of all teams in the West to win…

Take Alabama and Georgia out, who would win this year in the SEC? Most fans and sports bettors are favoring the two powerhouses to repeat this year. To say the Tide and Bulldogs just does not make this fun, so let us spice it up. Luckily, taking out both Bama and Georgia eliminates one from each division in the SEC. Now, we have ourselves a pick’em between twelve SEC teams. I know without Georgia and Alabama some would favor one certain team, but let us analyze each team. Who would come out of the SEC West or East? Who do…
After heartbreaking news to former Alabama great, John Metchie III, diagnosed with APL (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia). The Texans will be without a significant piece to their rebuilding offense. Metchie produced top moments at Alabama that may have been overshadowed. We look back at his tenure at the University of Alabama, where he was a champion in the 2020-2021 season. I have listed the top moments of John Metchie’s Alabama career. John Metchie’s “HIT” on Florida CB Only defensive players can hit? I will tell you that is an understatement. The 2020 SEC Title game between Alabama and Florida highlighted that.…
Can Arizona win 3 games this year? Not too many people are tuning in to watch the Wildcats football team in the PAC-12. The University of Arizona is recognized as a basketball school than a football school currently. That is all right to say the least, because there are plenty of basketball schools. For example, Duke, they are a prolific basketball program, but a soggy football team. The Wildcats are trying not to be soggy. Year One Jedd Fisch ERA Arizona will be entering in year two of the Jedd Fisch era. When you want to launch a rocket for…
Discussing Liberty’s 2023 non-conference schedule before the Southern Mississippi game Week 1? Yes. My first article regarding the Flames mentioned the 2022 season preview with life after Malik Willis. As every Flames fan including myself is fueled about this season, next year is being mentioned. The Flames are entering their last season as an Independent FBS Division 1 program. Next season, they will be entering the CUSA where to be honest, I do not have a clue who will be in the conference after the moves by at least nine teams. At least the conference will include our beloved Flames,…
In Bo we trust in Eugene, Oregon for the Ducks this upcoming 2022 season. Bo Nix arrived at Eugene after the 2021 season transferring from Auburn University. Nix passed for 7,251 yards and 39 touchdowns in 34 career games for Auburn, while rushing for 869 yards and 18 more scores. He was the SEC Freshman of the Year in 2019 after setting Auburn freshman records with 2,542 passing yards and 16 touchdowns. During his 2019 freshman season, Nix defeated Oregon in his first career start and Alabama in the same year. Now Nix will be facing a different task and…
Will Ohio State finally get over the hump this season as the Buckeyes enter the 2022 season? It seems like a lifetime ago when Ohio State raised the CFP National Championship Trophy. At least Buckeye fans can tell their grandkids that they were the first team to win under the playoff format. Ryan Day and his staff are in another prime position to win the National Championship. The Buckeyes are currently ranked 2nd (+300) in title odds to win this year’s National Championship with Alabama only ahead of them. Since taking over the program, all that Ryan Day has done…
Florida QB named to the Maxwell watch list this season for the Gators. Anthony Richardson will enter his first season as full-time starter under first year HC Billy Napier. The award has given to two Florida QB’s since 1937 (Tebow & Wuerffel). The Gators will look to be better than the disappointing display they put out on the field last season. 6-7 is unheard for what use to be a dominate SEC East team. Last season did not help the Gators with the juggling of Richardson and Emory Jones (transferred to ASU). Now that Richardson has been nodded to command…
The Alabama Crimson Tide will kick off their season in 45+ days. Nick Saban and his guys will be looking to go on a revenge tour after last season. I earlier examined the HOME schedule for the Tide in my last post. The Tide fell short of winning last season’s National Championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs. As the final score may implicate that Georgia dominated, Bama led 18-13 with 10 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Tide’s Revenge Tour Biggest Question-Defense There is no doubt that Will Anderson Jr. will be a force to be reckon with this…

Bama is one of few teams that are bringing back their starting quarterback. Heisman trophy winner, Bryce Young, will lead this Bama…
