Behold, another weekend slate of games that can make you forget you have a family and/or responsibilities. Maybe that’s why we like college football so much. There are only two games between ranked teams this weekend, and one of them happened yesterday (Louisville at NC State). This may not look like a great schedule…
Conference football is fully underway now. Every game is completely up for grabs, except for the games involving bad teams, which is most of them. For the second time this season, the Buckeyes play a conference road game at night, so it is safe to say that no team in America has had a more difficult conference schedule. And now that conference play…
We’re four weeks into the 2017 season and things are starting to get interesting. Like, how bad is the SEC East? When will USC go all “USC on itself?” Coaches on the hot seat and Heisman hopefuls are recurring topics of discussion and on the field, most of the top teams won—and yes, I’m looking at you Oklahoma State—and while you…
Last week we saw a number of ranked teams go on the road and lose to unranked opponents. No. 12 LSU went to Mississippi State and got throttled 37-7. No. 18 Kansas State lost 14-7 at Vanderbilt. No. 19 Stanford lost at San Diego State, and No. 25 UCLA lost at Memphis 48-45 in a shootout. This week is no different.
Three weeks of the 2017 season are in the books and if things continue as they did this week, we’re going to need bigger books. The top teams in the country made strong statements about the their viability to be a top team and several others pulled surprising wins over the weekend. Memphis over UCLA, Stanford falling again…
In every edition of The Tip Sheet, I give you an in-depth rundown of the week’s most-important college football games. Treat it is a manual or resource, or a “mansource” as I call it. (Though, I don’t call it that out loud anymore for obvious reasons.) Anyway, the Tip Sheet is always an important resource for Buckeye fans…
The old football adage says the most improvement in a team happens between week 1 and week 2. If you’re an Oklahoma fan, that looked to be the case and if you’re an Ohio State fan, well, not so much. There were plenty of big games this weekend and as usual, the major networks provided an “all you can watch” buffet of action…
It’s a huge week of games this weekend, unfortunately, most of them will be taking place at the same time as Oklahoma-Ohio State, so you’ll miss classics like Georgia at Notre Dame, Auburn at Clemson, Stanford at USC, and Chattanooga at LSU. At least you’ll be able to catch Cincinnati and Michigan at noon. Despite the big games…
Simply stated, college football is back. And back in a big way. A six-day weekend of games featuring the top teams in the country has dominated the major network airwaves. ESPN, ABC, Fox and more have broadcast games in HD; showcased the with Game Day activities; analyzed games in the Coaches Film Room; presented them…
Starting on Thursday, we get five straight days of college football. Only a handful of those games are gonna be great, but we don’t care. We’ve basically wandered the desert looking for a drink of water, so we’re not gonna be picky if half of the watering holes have elephant dung floating in them. What? You won’t drink poopwater?
In football, special teams can be a forgotten edge when trying to figure out who the best teams are. It is rare that a team can avoid having a game decided by either a punt or a field goal. Team A may be leading by one score late in the game and have to punt to Team B from deep in their own territory. An outstanding punt…
