Boettcher also won the collegiate Gold Glove award. But on the gridiron with the football team, Boettcher became a key cog to the defense that …

OXFORD – It might not be where No. 14 Ole Miss envisioned when its highly anticipated 2024 season began, but the Rebels are going bowling for the fifth straight year. Coming off the program’s first 11-win season, Ole Miss (9-3, 5-3 SEC) entered 2024 with hopes of making it to the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff field. While a lot …

Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is making major changes to his staff after the Cowboys’ 3–9 season (0–9 in the Big 12)—the worst of his 20 years in Stillwater—and a subsequently reworked contract. Todd Grantham is being hired as Gundy’s new defensive coordinator. Grantham was the defensive line coach with the New Orleans Saints before being moved to senior advisor …

The 12-team College Football Playoff is a welcomed change after decades of exclusionary practices among the sport’s elite. Even still, the bright, shiny machine remains deeply flawed.

The NCAA transfer portal officially opened for undergraduates Monday morning, but it didn’t take that long for Kansas State’s football roster to absorb its first postseason hits. The Wildcats (8-4), who will face Rutgers (7-5) in the Rate Bowl in Phoenix on Dec. 26, will do so without at least two significant 2024 contributors who entered the portal over the …

After six seasons as the head coach of West Virginia football, Neal Brown was fired after a tenure that included a 37-35 overall record.

It is the week the Heisman Trophy is awarded. The drama behind the prestigious award is down to four players. The announcement will be Dec. 14 in NewYork. Colorado’s Travis Hunter is the favorite.

The College Football Playoff field is set and Indiana will play Notre Dame for the first time in more than 30 years on Dec. 20. It’ll be by far the most expensive first-round CFP game. According to StubHub, the cheapest ticket as of Monday night is $824. When you tack on fees, it’ll cost $1,115. The game in South Bend …

The 2024 college football regular season has ended, and since this is still college football and we care about everybody’s education (wink), it’s only fitting that we hand out some postseason grades. And, believe me, we’ll be grading on a curve. The Big Ten enjoyed a historic season in 2024 with the conference expanding to 18 teams with the additions …

Georgia’s thrilling 22-19 overtime victory against Texas in the SEC championship game last Saturday in Atlanta not only assured the Bulldogs a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff field, but it gave them a coveted first-round bye.
