Pac-12 might be dead, but its former teams still might have to play in Pac-12 bowls
The 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 bore
Entering 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’...
College Football Playoff expanding to 12 teams in 2026
The College Football Playoff is expanding, finally. After a decade of a four-team tournament to determine the FBS national champion, the field is tripling starting by the 2026 season.

Predicting college football’s New Year’s Six teams
College football starts in a little more than two weeks. And for 135 days, the jostling to become a national champion will be ongoing. Obviously, only four teams will compete in the College Football Playoff but a dozen teams will be selected to the most lucrative bowls, otherwise known as the New Ye...
Look out 'Bama and Ohio State, this Pac-12 power is back and looking championship-worthy
USC football is back. ...
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...
Did you know the Bucs will not be the first team to play a Super Bowl in their home market?
Think the Buccaneers have a unique home-field advantage because they get to play the big game in Tampa Bay? Well, before you make a prediction, take a look at Super Bowl history first....
Remembering 'Bowl Durham' & Pearl Harbor: Last time Rose Bowl was held outside Pasadena

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...
Sam Darnold Was A Mad Man In The Rose Bowl
It took a record-setting rookie from USC tearing out Penn State’s beating heart on national television, but I think bowl games might be good again....

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...
