Getty Images The SEC’s announcement that it would be moving to a nine-game conference schedule was always going to bring some non-conference scheduling ramifications, and Tuesday we saw that in action as Alabama and West Virginia announced they mutually agreed to cancel their home-and-home series set for 2026 and 2027.  In Alabama’s release, the team specifically cited the nine-game schedule …

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Jalon Daniels was about to celebrate the first touchdown in the rebuilt stadium at Kansas when the pyrotechnics went off. Forgive him for being a little startled. The Jayhawks never had such trappings when they played in crumbling Memorial Stadium, a century-plus-old concrete structure perched on the northern edge of campus. Heck, they didn’t even have a …

You best know Dylan Stewart as a game-wrecking defensive end who has a chance to end the season as the nation’s best defensive player. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound star had 6.5 sacks, 9.5 tackles for loss and 34 quarterback hurries as a true freshman, and he has already drawn comparisons to former Gamecocks star Jadeveon Clowney.  But if Stewart is going …

The Oklahoma Sooners are days away from kicking off their 2025 season, as OU looks forward to getting the bad taste of a failed 2024 season out of its mouth.  One voice in the college football space that has been high on the Sooners this offseason has been Josh Pate. The host of “Josh Pate’s College Football Show” has Oklahoma …

When there’s smoke, there’s fire and that is exactly the case with current Penn State 2027 5-star running back commit Kemon Spell. The nation’s No. 9 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite will make a visit to South Bend when Notre Dame hosts Texas A&M, and on Tuesday it was reported that they are one of six schools that have …

It was a disappointing season for the USC Trojans last year. They went 7-5 in their debut journey in the Big Ten. They did not meet the standards of Trojan football by any means. It was an even more disappointing debut season for the UCLA Bruins, who went 5-7 last season. One of their seven losses was to the Trojans. …

When Boise State’s offense trots out for its first play against South Florida, quarterback Maddux Madsen will line up in the shotgun. He’ll go through his cadence. And the running back next to him… will crouch in his stance.  Ashton Jeanty put together one of the greatest running back seasons ever with his famous upright Michael Myers setup. He ran …

This year’s meter seeks to make up for last year’s poor bowl placement decision by the college football committee. The Orange looked poised to participate in the Pop-Tarts sweepstakes like we predicted, but the rug got pulled out from under them during the selection show. I still think about Fran Brown eating a victory toaster pastry from time to time, …

The program has made bowl games in five …

At long last, the offseason is behind us, and college football has returned. For Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks, that means that the Montana State Bobcats are coming to Eugene this weekend to kick off the 2025 campaign. Despite an almost entirely fresh roster that features just four returning starters, there are high expectations for the Ducks once again …

The Big Ten’s big mouths have lost the narrative war to the SEC so badly, it’s a small miracle when anything attributable to a Big Ten source these days isn’t accompanied by a laugh track. The league’s latest misstep wasn’t even intended for public consumption. Yet somehow, it ended with Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti stumbling into another public spanking …
