Week 3 CFP Implications: Big 12 Woes and Impending Chaos
It was obvious when they started playing two weeks ago that there were potential pitfalls for the Big 12. With a disastrous Week 1 that saw bad losses from three teams in the conference, plus a near-loss by Texas Tech to a bad FCS team, the conference could little afford upsets during the season–especially if …

NC State gets rude awakening against Virginia Tech
Remember after NC State’s first game, when they had just rushed for 270 yards and put up 45 points? When Bailey Hockman looked like a QB in complete control of an offense that looked really good? Remember when the offensive line moved a pretty decent Wake Forest defensive front? Remember the hope for the season …

Week 3 CFP Eliminator: Slow Week, but Goodbye MAC
As I mentioned last week, this is a strange year for the Eliminator. It’s a strange year for everything, sure, but the Eliminator is no exception. Usually we see plenty of eliminations each week at this point in the season since Group of 5 teams are playing their nonconference games. This year, though, most Power …

Defund FSU Football — Barstool FSU (@FSU_Barstool) September 27, 2020 BREAKING NEWS: I just learned that the entire #FSU roster opted out of the 2020 season weeks ago and just didn’t tell anyone.

Pat Narduzzi and Pittsburgh have something working.
#StayHealthy and practice social distancing Pat Narduzzi and Pitt have always teased Panther fans. We said this about Pitt and we looked at their best/worse case season scenario for 2020. Each year they seem produce at least one high quality win – 2016 #3 Clemson, 2017 #2 Miami, 2018 #23 Virginia, and 2019 #15 UCF. …

Back to square one, Georgia Tech thumped at Syracuse
#StayHealthy and practice social distancing National Media darlings following an upset win at Florida State, Georgia Tech and Geoff Collins were winning national awards, Collins was getting interviewed and life was good for the Jackets. Two weeks later, and it’s evident that win may have been more smoke and mirrors than real substance. Blowout losses …

College Football needs to expand playoff for 2020
Thursday the Pac 12 agreed to to play football again this fall. The Pac-12 will play fall football after all, targeting a Nov. 6 start, a seven-game season, and a Dec. 18 title game https://t.co/wPyc0skc7S pic.twitter.com/AudxYx3iDc — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) September 25, 2020 That’s great.

Army tackle leading Black Knights into first Top 25 matchup since 1996
James and Lulu Hunter call their son J.B. “the softie of the family.” Their term of affection is understandable only if you recognize they’re retired non-commissioned Marines. They embraced the Corps’ creed as the military’s toughest branch. J.B., though, certainly doesn’t look like a “softie” on first impression. He’s Army football’s third-year starting right tackle, …

Articles Around the #ACC Blogosphere – September 24, 2020
We’ve been wondering how much the ACC Network is going to payout to the conference. ACCPrescription has the first estimate of this number I’ve seen. RubbingtheRock says Trevor Lawrence is locked in and that should scare everyone. Manny Diaz says Miami was not satisfied with their performance against Louisville. Miami looked awfully good to me …

Week 2 CFP Eliminator: When to eliminate P5 teams
Eliminating Power Five teams early in the season is always a question for me. Sure, it’s a mostly irrelevant question–we’re usually pretty sure which P5 teams won’t be winning out. Still, my principle here at the Eliminator remains the same: losses will come when they come, and I have no need to assume them. I …

Week 2 CFP Implications: How to Deal with Canceled Games
One good thing about having a season where no one knows what will happen and nothing is set in stone is that, well, nothing is set in stone. Over the first two full weeks (plus a slightly expanded “Week 0”) of the college football season, more than a dozen games have been postponed or canceled, …

David Cutcliffe adding to his work schedule before facing Virginia
When Duke coach David Cutcliffe retires and writes his book on his football life, he needs to include a chapter for people in their mid-60s with advice on workout and diet routines to maintain energy and work ethic. Cutcliffe, who turned 66 last week, pointed his finger at himself when explaining how the Blue Devils …

Louisville not ready for prime time.
In Scott Satterfield’s first season at Louisville, he could no wrong. It’s been well documented. He inherited a Louisville team that was one of the worst in ACC HISTORY. He wins 8 games last year, ACC COY, a bowl win, and returned a most of a very a dynamic offense. Before the ACC went divisionless, …
