College Football State of Florida Rankings: Week 8

There is no longer an undefeated team in the state of Florida as Miami fell from the ranks with a 24-21 defeat at the hands of Louisville. It was an eventful week in the state as the University of Florida fired head coach Billy Napier, and Florida State gave Mike Norvell the dreaded vote of […]

While the Virginia Cavaliers (6-1, 3-0 ACC) were relishing in their latest dramatic victory last Saturday night — a 10-point fourth-quarter comeback over Washington State, capped by a game-winning safety — the North Carolina Tar Heels (2-4, 0-2 ACC) were across the country in Berkeley, California, seemingly on the verge of their first big win […]

Georgia Tech Football: Things I Think I Know – Syracuse

As a life-long ride-or-die Georgia Tech fan, I had yet to buy in this season, even with a 6-0 record. However, after this win against a talented Duke team, I am 100% bought-in and excited about the state of our football program. I said last week that this game against Duke was the ultimate test […]

Defensive Players to Watch: BYU at Iowa State

Coming back from a weekend where I didn’t have to watch our secondary get burned to a crisp was a breath of fresh air, and with that, a new mentality. That mentality is Heacock fixed all our problems, our defense will become a Top 5 defense by the end of the season, and I can […]

MC&J: Week 9 features three ranked matchups and much more

Last week ATS: 9-10 (6-4 National, 3-6 B1G) Season ATS: 74-69 (29-36 National, 45-33 B1G) Last week was so close to looking as good as the previous week. Five of my losses were in games where my pick missed covering by two points or less. USC, Ole Miss, and UCLA all were half a point […]

Opponent Preview: West Virginia Mountaineers

Traveling to Morgantown has traditionally been a struggle for the Frogs, especially going back to the Dana Holgorsen years. Unfortunately for TCU’s Big 12 entry twin, they’re hobbling through the middle of the season in Rich Rodriguez’s second stint for the Mountaineers. After a 2-1 start, the Mountaineers have been ravaged by the injury bug […]

Why Northwestern will/won’t beat Nebraska

Saturday will be a contest between two teams that couldn’t have had more different Week 8 experiences.

Know Thine Enemy: LSU Tigers

No.3 Texas A&M hits the road for the second week in a row, traveling to Baton Rouge for a Saturday night in Death Valley showdown with the No. 20 LSU Tigers. LSU may be coming off a loss, but no Aggie needs to be told how hard it is to win down there. To see […]

Nil, zip, nada, zero, nothing: Week 8 film room

Did somebody say shutout? Northwestern held Purdue to zero points, the first time the ‘Cats have done so to a Big Ten opponent since 2017 and to Purdue specifically since 1956. While the Boilermakers aren’t the highest caliber of opponents in the Big Ten, they had been a potent offense throughout the season. Coming into […]

Dawgs in the NFL: A good weekend for UGA quarterbacks and new additions

Following the thrilling victory over Ole Miss on Saturday, Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton was the talk of the college football world after his impressive showing.

Miami Hurricanes Match-ups of the Week: Week 9 vs. Stanford

After a disappointing performance against Louisville last week, how will this Miami Hurricanes team respond?
