1) Jeff Brohm disappoints, again I really thought this was the year Purdue could do something special. Even after a 1-2 start (in which they outgained Penn State and Syracuse by a combined 199 yards in their two losses), the Boilermakers seemed to have picked up the pieces during a four-game win streak. One could…

Ohio State (7-0); AP rank: 2 Georgia (7-0); AP rank: 1 Tennessee (7-0); AP rank: 3 Michigan (7-0); AP rank: 4 Clemson (8-0); AP rank: 5 TCU (7-0); AP rank: 7 I can already hear the outcry of TCU being ranked ahead of Alabama. But the fact of the matter is TCU has beaten Oklahoma…

The action around the Big Ten this past weekend was relatively modest. Ohio State and Penn State both handled their inferior competition in Iowa and Tanner Morgan-less Minnesota, respectively. Maryland squeaked out a win against Northwestern with Billy Edwards replacing Taulia at QB. Purdue fell apart on the road against Wisconsin. And Rutgers got their…

Last Week: 2-3 Overall: 17-8 Nebraska covered easily and the over hit in the Maryland vs Indiana game by 10 points to give me my two wins of last weekend. But Penn State is clearly not as good as I thought – or maybe Michigan is way better than I thought. Either way, PSU didn’t…

1) Penn State fans should look towards 2023 Penn State is staring down the barrel of a 10-2 regular season and a birth a NY6 bowl game – a great season for almost every other college football program. But this Saturday proved just how big the gap is between Penn State and Big Ten juggernauts…

Ohio State (6-0); AP rank: 2 Georgia (7-0); AP rank: 1 Tennessee (6-0); AP rank: 3 I understand Tennessee fans’ insistence that they deserve the #1 spot. To be frank, any of the top 4 teams have a legitimate case. But as far as I’m concerned, Alabama was a deeply flawed team entering week 7….

Week 8 was one of the best weekends of college football we’ve had in a while. While their wasn’t too much excitement within the Big Ten (thanks to Michigan’s emphatic disposal of Penn State), we saw some great clarity. Michigan State snapped their 4-game skid in 2OT against the Badgers – who now seem out…

Last week: 3-2 Overall: 15-5 Last week’s picks weren’t horrible. I nailed Purdue, Rutgers, and Iowa all covering. And Michigan could have easily covered -22.5 had they not missed a field goal or kept their foot on the gas a bit longer. Alas, they won by 21. I’m disgusted with my pick of Northwestern to…

1) Ohio State is the best team in the country The Buckeyes continue to dispose of their competition after a quarter and some change before pulling their starters before the 4th quarter. We won’t be able to tell how truly great this team is until their road trip to Happy Valley at the end of…

Honestly, the AP poll isn’t that deplorable this week. It was nice to see they kept Kansas ranked, while the inclusion of James Madison and Illinois were pleasant surprises. Utah and Kentucky sticking around after putting up a couple of stinkers this past weekend was disappointing. I feel the top 25 should be a reflection…
