The Oklahoma Sooners have a lot to prove, entering year two in the SEC. Though they earned a road win over Auburn and upset Alabama 24-3 at home, the Sooners went just 2-6 in SEC play. Much of that was because of an offense that only averaged 13 points per game during their conference schedule if you take away defensive …

Wisconsin wide receiver Grady O’Neill announced his intention to enter the transfer portal on Tuesday. The redshirt junior joined the Badgers as a preferred walk-on during the 2022 season.

SOUTH BEND — Even in the post-Deland McCullough era, the running backs of Notre Dame football still need third-down certification to earn their way onto the field for those money downs.

North Carolina was considering allowing HBO’s NFL reality series “Hard Knocks” into the inner sanctum of all things Bill Belichick. The story isn’t that North Carolina and HBO couldn’t come to an agreement. It’s that Belichick, new Tar Heels coach and king of controlling the narrative, needs “Hard Knocks” more than it needs him. Player procurement – be it high …

The ACC sent two teams into last year’s College Football Playoff but had both ejected in the opening round, with Clemson losing to Texas and SMU to Penn State.
