Is this the biggest game of the year? I think so. How to WatchTV: CBSTime: 2:30Stream: CBSSports.com PJ Fleck managed to come out of Iowa City with win two years ago. Can he do it again? What makes me nervous were his comments after that win in 2023, which were something to the effect that […]
It’s remarkable how quickly things can change in college football. Nowhere has that been more evident than with Iowa’s opponent last week. The Penn State Nittany Lions started the year ranked inside the top-5 with a Heisman hopeful at QB. Now they find themselves below .500, winless in the Big Ten and without either their […]
We asked, and you’ve answered. Arizona is riding a 2-game skid during its bye week, albeit both one-score losses with the first coming in double overtime to an unbeaten opponent and the second on a walkoff field goal.

2025 has proven to be a season where “any given Saturday” is not only true, but expected in the Mid-American Conference. Yet, somehow, some way, the Buffalo Bulls (4-3, 3-0 MAC) just keep on truckin’, standing atop the league table after three very dicey league games. Now, they take that perfect record and put it […]
The final five games on Nebraska’s slate are Northwestern, Southern Cal, UCLA, Penn State and Iowa.
