Our glorious *Midwestern-based college football conference is fully into conference play and we’ve got some interesting games to talk about this week and some… that are also happening, okay? Without further ado, let’s get into the Big Ten’s Week 5 slate: Game of the Week This is the week’s top matchup that’s absolutely worth tuning […]
COLUMBUS, Ohio – No. 5 Ohio State will travel to No. 14 Iowa for the team's first Big Ten road game of the season.
The defensive numbers from Ohio State’s win over Illinois were not great. The Buckeyes held the Illini to 19 points, their lowest total of the season and nearly half as much as their 34 points per game average. However, Bret Bielema’s group racked up 462 yards of offense, including just under 200 rushing yards. Ohio […]
1. Ohio State (AP No. 5, Coaches No. 6) 3-1 | 1-0 B1G Last Week’s Ranking: 2 Movement: +1 While yes, Indiana is undefeated, Ohio State jumps back up to No. 1 in our rankings after its dominant 42-19 win over Illinois. Jeremiah Smith tied the Buckeyes’ single-game touchdown record with four on the day, […]
”I mean, we lost 56-7 to Indiana two years ago, and we came back and, (while) we didn’t win the next week against (#4)Ohio State, we played pretty dang well (21-17 loss with plenty of assistance from the B1G’s striped felons), so I don’t believe last week carries over this week. – Matt Rhule 2026 […]
Week Four was intriguing with four massive road wins for the Quadrangle of Hate. Only Ohio State and Indiana won as home teams this week, something that sounded make up but was true. Even the Hoosiers were well tested by Northwestern. A lot of movement in the middle this week with the road wins, and […]

Perhaps no interview ever conducted on ESPN’s flagship college football studio show College GameDay has resulted in more scrutiny than the one conducted with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) earlier this month before an Ohio State-Texas game in Austin. The scrutiny has been justified. Host Rece Davis, more or less, gave Cruz 10 minutes of airtime to…

Ohio State’s 2024 transfer portal class was as good as it could possibly get. The Buckeyes brought in eight total guys, and five of them — Caleb Downs, Will Howard, Quinshon Judkins, Will Kacmarek and Seth McLaughlin — were high-impact players on a National Championship roster. A sixth was Julian Sayin, who is now in […]

AP Poll College Football rankings are out after week 4 and there’s plenty to talk about. On Josh Pate’s College Football Show Ep 773 Josh Pate broke down the AP Poll having Texas #1 followed by UGA, Notre Dame, Miami and Ohio State. Ole Miss fell behind Florida, but should the Gators be higher? What do we make of USC still being at 20 ahead of teams like UCLA? Where should Tennessee and Penn State be? What about Mississippi State STILL being disrespected? Where is Alabama? Let us know what you...

Look, Texas has the best win in the sport — against a top-5 Ohio State at home. On Saturday, the Longhorns added another victory — against undefeated AP Top 25-ranked Tennessee. Given that Texas remains undefeated with two of the most impressive wins in the sport, there is no good and reasonable argument for ranking the Longhorns anywhere other than No. 1. However. This sport is irrational and runs on emotion and vibes. And my vibe is: If maleficent Martians had a death laser pointed at the Ea...

#Texas #Football #BreakingNews #Recruiting Amanda Atwell, CJ Vogel and Bobby Burton debate how concerned Texas fans should be about Arch Manning entering a hostile road environment at Tennessee. After an uneven performance against UTSA, can Arch rediscover the aggressive mindset he displayed during comeback efforts at Mississippi State, Georgia and Ohio State—or will his recent accuracy issues follow him into Neyland Stadium? The crew also identifies the biggest surprises from Texas’ first thr...
The joke writes itself, and on Saturday, Lane Kiffin was the punchline. He ditched the Ole Miss Rebels, a playoff-ready team, for one that he felt was national title material and $13 million per annum, only to be humbled. The marginal 32-24 loss stings, but Kiffin thinks it wouldn’t have mattered to everyone as much […]
