What happens out in the lots, stays out in the lots.
Bama, I hate you. I hate the stupid commitment to your uniform scheme, the arrogance and stupidity that can be found in the fan base, and basically everything about the state and program. I hate them because they’re great. Because they’ve found a process that works, and a genius coach, the rest of us have […]
Depending on when you read this article, this is one of the stranger weeks of the year, at least for me. I put a butt-ton of effort, energy and emotion into the holidays, Christmas specifically, and then it’s over. It’s just over. And I’m sad. But there is a silver lining – the NCAA reserves […]

Lesson learned, don’t bet against the Lions. I bet against them to win the NFC North, and bet a bit on the Saints to win straight up last week. The Eagles are the exact opposite – the Eagles are bad. It should have been expected in Carson Wentz’s rookie season, but their hot start and […]
Conference champ weekend is always a good show, and this last weekend was no different. Western Michigan finally crossed their first finish line, winning the MAC championship in a tight game vs. Ohio U. Temple did what so many other teams could not and stopped Navy on their way to an American Conference championship. Arkansas […]
Could last weekend have been any more intense in the Group of Five? Sure, the big schools pretty much behaved as expected, but the G5 teams were basically a swirling mass of insanity. Houston lost to Memphis. Boise lost to Air Force by lack of one yard. Navy hung 75 freaking points on SMU. Idaho […]
Last weekend was pretty stable, as far as the top teams go. Louisville lost to Houston, and is probably now out of playoff contention, but the top 4 stayed the same. It’s more interesting as we go down the rankings though. Utah had a free fall like nobody quite believes they are P5 yet. WVU […]
Gobble Gobble! Thanksgiving is here! Thanksgiving in our family means spending time together, watching football, and eating a lot of delicious food. It also means my 8-year-old step-son is out of school all week. He’s just learning the in’s and out’s of football and was ready to jump in and write this preview himself. I’ll […]
Allow me to set the scene – it’s the day after Thanksgiving and my wife and her female friends and family are up and out of the house long before sunrise, freezing their kit-kats off while schlepping around the chilly Des Moines metro area, standing in long lines and being trampled by and trampling other […]
Editor’s note: This is relatively unedited and copied from a random, impromptu Slack conversation. File any complaints to our complaint department: @jared_leeper on Twitter. @_AJSPECK_: I really don’t know what the best system would be for college football. I actually kind of liked the BCS bowl situation, but the playoffs are fun too, I just […]
