College Football Week 12 Recap
I’ll be honest with you: not much of importance happened this weekend. But in college football, that’s when things really get weird. But it wasn’t all that weird either, so I had to get a bit creative with some of the categories this week. Some weeks are down weeks, and that’s okay. If nothing else, Week 12 perfectly set the table for the best week in all of sports: rivalry week. So before we jump in, a quick recap of the categories: Continue reading
College Football Week 11 Recap
Whenever a weekend lacks high-profile matchups, it makes up for it in memeability. For the second week in a row, the biggest story is the Texas Longhorn’s not being able to contain a small animal. This week’s recap is especially jam-packed, so let’s not waste any time and jump right in to the categories. Continue reading
College Football Week 10 Recap
Week 10 was an especially weird one. Despite multiple top 10 teams losing, nothing from last weekend felt particularly important. But looking in the margins is where you find college football in its purest form. The only way to enjoy this sport is to embrace the nonsense, the monkey business so to speak, and there was plenty of that. But before we dive in, a brief recap of how this all works: Continue reading
College Football Week 7 Recap
This week may not have reached the heights of the last two, there’s still plenty to talk about. A coach came into the game and threw the winning touchdown pass, and it wasn’t even the craziest thing to happen in his own conference. Continue reading

Who Are College Football’s Biggest Surprise Teams?
In a lot of ways, college football is the most unpredictable sport around. Despite the fact that chaos can break out at any time, we’re at a point in the season where we all have a good feel for what a lot of teams will look like the rest of the year. Continue reading
The Coaching Carousel Has Already Started. Who’s Next?
We are two weeks into the 2021 college football season (kind of), and we’ve already had two coaches fired. We’ve finally reached a point where coaches are never safe and silly season never ends. Even though UConn and USC are polar opposite programs, the reason they moved on from their coaches is the same: they weren’t winning. With this new reality setting in, it’s worth taking a look at who’s on the hot seat, and who will be the next coach to get the boot. Continue reading
How We Talk About College Football Matters
There’s no arguing that college football is currently going through the largest period of change in its history. The NCAA is getting smacked in court, players have finally been granted the right to monetize their name, image, and likeness, and conference realignment is back with a vengeance. Understandably, a lot of people are talking about college football right now. And, thanks to the internet, they’re talking about it very publicly. But everyone is falling into a common talking season pitfall. The conversation is being dominated by flawed terms and NCAA phraseology designed, as always, to turn us against the athletes. We as fans need to seriously think about the words we use when talking about this stuff because how we talk about college football matters. Continue reading
