Not only that, five of the nine …

COLLEGE STATION — A smile plastered to his face, Texas football running back Quintrevion Wisner jogged off Kyle Field to a three-syllable serenade from the fans in burnt orange surrounding the Longhorns’ tunnel. “S-E-C,” they yelled. “S-E-C!

Penn State will get a slightly surprising chance to play for the Big Ten championship next weekend in Indianapolis after finishing off an 11-1 regular season and getting a big helping hand from Michigan to drop Ohio State into two-loss territory. A win next weekend against undefeated Oregon may be considered a bit surprising as well, but it would be …

That’s the common refrain for those discussing Indiana football’s remarkable turnaround from Big Ten basement dweller to College Football Playoff contender, but it hasn’t caught everyone off guard. Mikail Kamara is one of those exceptions. “I feel like the first few games we’re going to be underlooked, but I’m certain once we get the …

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State saved its best fight for last.
