LSU’s level of explosiveness came somewhat as a surprise. The unit was expected to be good returning players like Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers and Will Campbell, but …

Assuredly, Michigan football got off to a slow start recruiting the 2025 class. Though, it didn’t seem that way early on. The Wolverines had three players committed, two of them high-profile (Chris Ewald and Mantrez Walker), last fall. But two of the three ended up decommitting while the other (Carter Smith) stayed and rose up the recruiting rankings. Now that …

Michigan football recruiting had been lagging. Key word: ‘had.’ The Wolverines are starting to piece things together now that it’s summer official visit season and one player who visited Ann Arbor last week declared that he had seen enough.

Jun. 14—*** IMHO, college football has always been great. Pretty much everything about it. But this year, will be the greatest. More playoff teams than ever before, which expands the realistic chance of a non-power winning it all. Oh sure, it will probably be Alabama or Georgia or Ohio State. But I won’t be stunned if a less-familiar name makes …

This coming college football season is going to be vastly different from what fans are used to. There will be a college football video game for the first time in a decade, teams are changing conferences left and right, but perhaps one aspect a lot of forgetting is the expanded playoff system that will be implemented this year. Twelve teams, …
