Pac-12 might be dead, but its former teams still might have to play in Pac-12 bowlsThe Pac-12 might be gone, but it won’t be forgotten during bowl season. According to Action Network’s Brett McMurphy, the 10 schools that left the Pac-12 this season will still play in Pac-12 affiliated bowl games instead of their new conference’s bowl tie-in. ...

Lack of parity in college football playoff system has made the whole thing a boreEntering the 10th and final year of the 4-team College Football Playoff, we have a 2-time defending national champion in Georgia, who is one of only five teams to win a title in the post-BCS era. It’s been an oversaturation at the top with the same teams playing in the most important games of the y...

Misery loves company — and Michigan and Ohio State have each other

Sometimes the narrative writes itself. And then, when you’re extremely lucky, it just falls in your lap. The Big Ten had two opportunities to send at least one representative — either Michigan or Ohio State — to the College Football Playoff....

The transfer window coinciding with bowl season is as profoundly stupid as it sounds

Unlike most people, I enjoy bowl season. Despite how irrelevant it is to the final outcome of the season, eclectic matchups are the best kinds of matchups. They determine bragging rights for people whose values still align with those of their conference. Programs who only schedule cream puffs when i...

Multiple CFP candidates messed around on Saturday, but only one got dealt with

It took 12 weeks for fuck around week to arrive in college football, and it announced itself with a bang. From the get-go, Michigan and TCU showed up expecting to be handed a W simply because the spread dictated it so. Maryland had the ball against Ohio State with enough time to steal a W, and Georg...

A College Football Playoff bid is on the line for USC the next three weeks

It’s the penultimate week of college football’s regular season, and I’ll give you four guesses as to which conference has the most ranked teams. I’d like to thank SEC fans for their quick response, but nope, it’s not them. Big Ten fans aren’t even chiming in because one of their two divisions doesn’...

It’s another wild and woolly Saturday of college football

It’s a noon slot of pure chaos yet again, as the No. 8 Oklahoma Sooners finally met their match in Waco against No. 13 Baylor and were promptly subjected to one of the more unhinged endings to a game that I’ve ever seen. Caleb Williams was struggling on offense all day, throwing two interceptions a...

Report: EPA Head Scott Pruitt Used His Position To Get 50-Yard-Line Seats For The Rose Bowl

I find myself more impressed than anything by EPA head Scott Pruitt’s venality. Sure, the man is corrupt. But he’s corrupt in ways no one had ever even conceived of before! The man’s unflagging creativity in graft is inspiring, in its gross way, and his drive is something to behold. For the rest of ...

USC Pretends Like It Didn't Lose The 2006 Rose Bowl

The 2005-06 USC Trojans were an unholy powerhouse that went on an 12-0 romp through college football only to be upended in the 2006 Rose Bowl by Vince Young and the Texas Longhorns. The Trojans later had to vacate all 12 wins from that season due to the Reggie Bush scandal, but, as Austin sports anc...

Iowa Senator Introduces Just The Whiniest Bill About The Stanford Band

The notoriously “edgy” Stanford marching band performed a skit full of dumb hick stereotypes during halftime of Stanford’s 45-16 thwacking of Iowa in the Rose Bowl. Despite the fact that the skit wasn’t particularly good, funny, or unexpected, everybody lost their goddamn minds. Iowa fans got mad, R...
