Week 15 Review

Mon, 08 Dec 2025 08:21:00 -0500

Week 15 Review Written by David The College Football regular season ended with Championship weekend in the books. However, Week 15 did deliver some shockers. The Hoosiers stunned Ohio State 13-10 to win their first outright Big Ten title since 1945. Indiana finished 13-0 and earned the No. 1 overall seed in the playoffs. Ohio State dropped to No. 2 but still secured a first-round bye. Georgia dominated Alabama 28-7 in the SEC ...

Week 14 Review

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 08:06:00 -0500

Week 14 Review Written by David Rivalry Week delivered high drama and major playoff implications across the country. The biggest headline came from Ann Arbor, where Ohio State snapped its four-game skid against Michigan with a commanding 27-9 victory, keeping the Buckeyes unbeaten and firmly in control of the Big Ten race. I also saved you about 10-minutes of your time because if Wendi would have written this column, it would be dedicated to ...

Week 13 Review

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 10:49:00 -0500

Week 13 Review Written by David Overall, all the teams in the College Football Playoff top 14 won and most doing so convincingly. Especially Notre Dame’s 70-7 demolition of Syracuse who to no surprise is looking for style points. However, conference championship games are starting to become a bit clearer. Texas Tech and BYU are the clear frontrunners and are expected to meet in the Big 12 Title game barring major upsets. ...

Week 12 Review

Tue, 18 Nov 2025 14:02:00 -0500

Week 12 Review Written by Wendi While the SEC recovers during Cupcake Week, the SEC suffered some top 10 blows over this past weekend. You know how Georgia can’t seem to beat Alabama? Well, it appears that Alabama can’t beat Oklahoma. For the second year in a row, the 11 th ranked Sooners have upset 4 th ranked Bama. This time, the Sooners’ defense shined with three turnovers with one being a pick six and went on ...

Week 11 Review

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 14:51:00 -0500

"Week 11 Review” Written by Wendi There were some scares over the weekend for top ranked teams. Indiana scored a touchdown (by a toe) with under a minute to go to put them in the lead against Penn State, Oregon skated by with a late field goal against Iowa. It took overtime for Louisville to beat unranked Cal. It also took overtime for Vandy to beat Auburn. Wake Forest beat 14 th ranked Virginia. Wisconsin ...

Week 10 Review

Mon, 03 Nov 2025 14:31:00 -0500

"Week 10 Review” Written by Wendi For those that celebrate, I hope you had a great Halloween. If you did go trick-or-treating, how many people did you see dressed up as Michael Myers? I know me and Sam saw quite a few. I thought to myself, "was it a bad omen for what was to come the next day?” There were some teams that just didn’t seem that scary after all. Georgia had quite the ...

Week 9 Review

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 15:18:00 -0400

"Week 9 Review” Written by Wendi Unlike the previous two weeks, there were no upsets in the top 10. However there has been a major coaching shift. Brian Kelly is out at LSU and so is his OC/QB Coach Joe Sloan. He has over a $50 million buyout which is being negotiated. I would love to coach just to get fired and still have that kind of money owed to me. Brian Kelly’s departure came ...

Week 8 Review

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 14:41:00 -0400

"Week 8 Recap” Written by Wendi Well, four more top 10 teams went down over the weekend. It started Friday night when Louisville stormed into Miami and put on a defensive show and forced four Miami turnovers. Carson Beck looked like the Carson Beck we all remembered at Georgia. Louisville won 24-21. It was not on the picks but Arizona State hosted 7 th ranked Texas Tech and the Red Raiders struggled offensively with only ...

Week 7 Review

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 11:27:00 -0400

Week 7 Review Written by David We’re about halfway through the Pick’ems contest! So, let’s review what happened in Week 7. The Buckeyes turned turnovers into touchdowns like a magician pulling rabbits from hats. Illinois blinked, and Ohio State made them pay—34-16. Julian Sayin was sharp, but it was the defense that said, "We’ll take that ball, thank you.” Alabama’s Ty Simpson played hero ball, tossing three TDs and sealing the win with a fourth-down dagger. Missouri’s 15-game ...

Week 6 Review

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 11:24:00 -0400

Week 6 Review Written by David Week 6 of the 2025 college football season delivered a buffet of upsets, redemption arcs, and playoff shakeups that had fans, and even some of us, screaming at their TVs. The headline-grabber was UCLA, who went from winless to world-shockers by stunning No. 7 Penn State 42–37. With Jerry Neuheisel calling plays like a caffeinated mad scientist and QB Nico Lamaleava running wild, the Bruins pulled off a ...

Week 5 Review

Mon, 29 Sep 2025 13:48:00 -0400

"Week 5 Recap” Written by Wendi Four top ten teams went down over the weekend. It started Friday night when 8 th ranked Florida State traveled to Virginia and the Cavaliers beat them in 2OT 46-38. I have never seen a field being stormed that fast. I hope Squirrel White is ok. He got caught in all of that. #4 LSU’s defense could not stop the Lane Train’s (# 13 Ole Miss) 484 yards ...

“Week 4 Recap”

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 15:20:00 -0400

The day started with a ranked matchup between Texas Tech traveling to Utah. It appeared that in the first half, neither team seemed to want to do anything on offense. Both teams combined for four turnovers in the first half alone and Texas Tech had a 10-3 lead at the half. Both teams still struggled on offense in the third quarter but Texas Tech opened it up in the 4 th quarter and outscored Utah ...

Week 3 Review

Mon, 15 Sep 2025 15:58:00 -0400

"Week 3 Recap” Written by Wendi Well, that was a fun Saturday, wasn’t it? With only three weeks into the season, there has already been two head coaches fired. UCLA and Virginia Tech. Both teams are 0-3. UCLA has Tennessee transfer QB Nico Iamaleava who has lost to both UNLV and New Mexico. Ouch. Maybe they should have stayed in the "Pac 2”. Thanks to David, he gave us an easy pick with the ...

Week 2 Review

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 00:54:00 -0400

"Week 2 Recap” Written by Wendi I know I am not the only one still trying to gauge teams. This was a very difficult week for the picks. At least in my opinion. About half of the games on the picks were decided by one score. It’s no shocker that the matchup between the Iowa’s was low scoring and full of field goals. Only one touchdown was scored and there was only 452 yards ...

Week 1 Review

Tue, 02 Sep 2025 13:01:00 -0400

"Week 1 Recap” Written by Wendi Well, it is that time of year again! College football is back! Along with high anxiety, panic, excitement, depression, uncertainty, just to name a few. Now that the dust has settled after week 1, I can almost place each of us in those emotional categories. I do have a question though. Will there be an overseas opening game every year? Asking for a friend and the relevance on playing overseas! ...

Week 15 Review

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 00:31:00 -0500

"If you aren’t first, you’re last Ricky Bobby” Written by Wendi Championship weekend did not disappoint in the slightest. For the Mountain West, Boise State handled business and took care of UNLV for the second time this season 21-7 and earned a #3 seed in the playoff rankings. I’m okay with that. Army man handled Tulane 35-14 for the AAC in a game that was not even close. Tulane had costly turnovers, failed ...

Week 14 Review

Mon, 02 Dec 2024 10:28:00 -0500

Rivalry Week Written by David You’re in luck that Wendi’s not writing the article this week. This whole column would be devoted to all things Michigan. We’d never hear the end of it either… Michigan this…Michigan that…rah, rah, rah! Four in a row, blah, blah, blah. But you do get to hear all about Alabama beating Auburn 28-14…just kidding. Rivalry Week did not disappoint though. The Georgia Tech and #7 ...

Week 13 Review

Mon, 25 Nov 2024 10:47:00 -0500

Panic Week Written by David This was a monstrous week in college football. There were some bigtime upsets that will shake up the college football playoff landscape. Especially in the SEC. #7 Alabama was whacked by unranked Oklahoma and lost 24-3. Florida upended #9 Ole Miss 24-17 in a shocker, and Auburn stunned #15 Texas A&M 43-41 in four overtimes. Could you have managed if those were on the picks? The carnage ...

Week 12 Review

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 18:18:00 -0500

"May Day May Day, We’re Going Down” Written by Wendi In a high stakes game to make the ACC Championship game, Clemson traveled to face a feisty Pittsburgh Panther team that was coming off a two-game losing streak. Will the losing streak continue for Pitt? Well, almost. Pitt took their first lead of the game with under three minutes left in the game. Clemson would need a field goal to tie and take it ...

Week 11 Review

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 11:41:00 -0500

"You Mean I Can’t Celebrate with the Opposing Team’s Victory?” Written by Wendi Saturday started out rough for a bunch of us after losing some high points on Cincinnati. With back-to-back turnovers in the first half, West Virginia got 10 points, and they had the lead 17-7 at the half. By all accounts, Cincinnati should have won the game but after turning the ball over three times, the Bearcats lost 31-24. Remember when ...

Week 10 Review

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 00:19:00 -0500

Upsets Galore Written by David College Football is so fun! There were some big notable upsets in College Football. Texas Tech stunned #11 Iowa State 23-22. The other #11 team, Clemson got whacked by Louisville 33-21 in a game that was never really in doubt. South Carolina shocked #10 Texas A&M 44-20 and Houston did the unthinkable by beating #17 Kansas State 24-19. There were some close calls with some top ranked ...

WEEK 9 Review

Mon, 28 Oct 2024 15:13:00 -0400

"Happy Halloween” Written by Wendi As the last Saturday in October wrapped up, we’ll embark on a November to remember with some teams still looking to become bowl eligible. The question is, who wants to actually remember November when it is all said and done? I know I don’t. Being a Michigan fan and looking at their upcoming schedule, it’s going to be tough just getting bowl eligible. Oregon, Indiana, Northwestern, Ohio State wraps ...

Week 8 Review

Tue, 22 Oct 2024 12:50:00 -0400

"Where do I begin?” Written by Wendi What a brutal week. I am glad that it is over but I know this week’s picks are looming and doubt they are any easier. The first couple of games featured an undefeated team. Undefeated Miami travelled to Louisville, and it was a back-and-forth game until the last few minutes of the game. The Hurricanes escaped the upset, winning 52-45 and is on pace with ...

Week 7 Review

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 16:45:00 -0400

House of Horrors Written by David Week 7 was horrifying for a bunch of us. More on that in a moment, but let’s briefly recap what happened on Saturday. This week’s games featured the power 4 conferences. Things continue to go south in the ACC for North Carolina who’s on a four-game losing skid after losing to Georgia Tech 41-34. The Tar Heels are now 0-3 in conference play. In the newly formed ...

Week 6 Review

Tue, 08 Oct 2024 00:55:00 -0400

"Burn It Allllll Down” (as Adam would say) Written by Wendi What a Saturday! If you were ranked in the top 11 and had a road game, it did not look good. There were five upsets, and it took a 25-point deficit and a miracle for Miami to come storming back late in the game to shock Cal. College Football is awesome. Texas A&M hosted 9 th ranked Missouri and it was all Aggies ...

Week 5 Review

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 13:30:00 -0400

"October Eve” Written by Wendi Well, here we are on the last day of September and what can I say, it surely has been an interesting College Football season so far. I am sure we can all agree that NIL has drastically changed everything. You have folks sitting out now because they are not getting what was promised. I mean I get it, but at the same time, you are part of a team. ...

Week 4 Review

Tue, 24 Sep 2024 00:26:00 -0400

"Auburn Sucks, They Really, Really Do” Written by Wendi West Virginia was down going into the long weather delay but came back to win 32-28 once playing resumed. I am starting to think West Virginia needs to have a closed-in stadium. This is their second weather delay this year. Raise your hand if you honestly thought Clemson would blow out NC State? After struggling all season, I did not think it was possible. ...

Week 3 Review

Tue, 17 Sep 2024 00:07:00 -0400

"Winner, Winner, Cheater Dinner??” Written by Wendi After a slow start in Madison in the first quarter, Bama was able to shake off the cobwebs and get to work. Not to anyone’s surprise, Bama beat the Badgers 42-10. If there is any indication between that game and Sam’s football game, it may have looked like Bama was playing Sam’s 12U team. Sam’s team lost 41-0. It was so bad they shortened the 3 rd and ...

Week 2 Review

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 13:04:00 -0400

"Alright, Alright, Alright” Well, those mighty Longhorns sure have something to brag about. NOT. I am still not convinced Texas is back. They beat a lackluster Michigan team who is still trying to figure out their identity and who lost just about all of their starters and at least 6 or 8 coaches. Anyone with half a brain knew Michigan was going to lose and probably lose bad. But it was only 31-12. So ...
