I first brought this subject up with Air Force coach Troy Calhoun before October’s Navy game, long before the COVID-19 postponement of Air Force-Army Nov. 7 date rescheduled in a winner-take-all game for the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy.

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. 15. Boston College (1-5) Last week: 15 Boston College is one of the worst defensive teams in college basketball.

As we approach the final weekend of the college football season, we have 11 teams still in the College Football Playoff race. Of those 11, one–Alabama–has likely locked up a Playoff berth already. No matter what happens–barring something insane like a 35-point loss to Florida this weekend–the Crimson Tide will be in the Playoff. Who …

Georgia Tech has one more game left on their schedule. It’s the top 10 ranked Miami Hurricanes. For the sake of argument, we’ll say Georgia Tech probably isn’t going to win that game. Thursday’s night game with Pittsburgh was Georgia Tech’s last realistic chance at a win this year. The Yellow Jackets flopped in a …

A year ago, Jordan Goldwire was the inexperienced guard without a career start learning to complement Jones, the returning starting point guard. They grew into a good fit.

As discussed in CFP Implications this week, there are three basic scenarios for the College Football Playoff right now. If Alabama, Notre Dame, and Ohio State win out, then there are only a few teams in real contention for that fourth spot. If Clemson or Florida wins out, all of the spots are locked up. …

And, if we’re being fully honest, none of the other teams “in the hunt” are particularly close right now. Oh, this group of four has questions about it, certainly. …
