Though most college football fans have turned their attention to next season, I want to take one final look back at 2022 to continue my annual tradition of exploring what I got right and wrong - with a heavy emphasis on the last part. I called my preseason ballot the "most perplexing jumble" I've experienced because rosters were so fluid. That was…

What a season it was for the Tennessee Volunteers football program. The Vols beat Florida, LSU and Alabama, won a New Year's 6 bowl game for the 1st time since January 2005 and finished the season with 11 wins for the 1st time in 21 years. The 2022 season will be remembered by Vols fans for decades to come. But it won't be long before all attention…

For the first time in over 20 years, Tennessee will play in a New Year's Six bowl game. The 10-2 Volunteers were one of the surprises of the season, storming out to an 8-0 start. Josh Heupel's year two team reached the No. 1 ranking in the first version of the College Football Playoff rankings before ultimately falling to Georgia and South Carolina…

Friday's Orange Bowl features two teams hoping to head into the offseason on a high note after limping down the stretch of the season. Clemson will take the field as favored by less than a touchdown on BetMGM. The Volunteers not only lost two of their final four games after being ranked the No. 1 team in the nation back in early November, they also…

Clemson Football takes on the Tennessee Volunteers in the Orange Bowl on December 30th. Clemson fans are excited and I am no different. I have already started to ponder this matchup between Top 10 teams. I have approached this game thinking that Clemson would likely have an advantage for a few reasons. I think Clemson's offense responded well to…

There have been 11 head-coaching hires since our last column. (Hey, someone has to keep track.) Let's dig in! From an uneven football season to a historically bad start in men's basketball, from the athletic department tumult of the past decade to everything in between, Louisville had been put through the wringer the past five years. The FBI and…

Here's a bowl filled with oranges and plenty of offense. Clemson football will face a Tennessee team that leads the country in scoring when they match up Dec. 30 (8 p.m., ESPN) for the Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The No. 6 Vols (10-2) are averaging 47.3 points per game. In the eight games since scoring 63 against Akron, not counting…

TAMPA - People who have worked with Alex Golesh seem to love him. When you wonder why USF hired another coordinator to be head football coach, that's important to remember. A succession of schools also put Golesh in charge of their recruiting efforts at a fairly young age. That, too, is a consideration if you have questions about his resume. And a…

The Opponent: Vanderbilt University was founded in 1873 and named after Cornelius Vanderbilt. Neil (I think we can call him that) lived a pretty amazing life, dominating land & sea shipping lanes in the second half of the 19th century. It was his second wife, also his cousin, who convinced him to donate $1 million to start Vanderbilt University. At…

The Heisman Trophy is the biggest award a college football player can get. Since 1935, when University of Chicago back Jay Berwanger took the award, the excitement surrounding it has only grown. So, to help with your, we take a look at those who might be in the running for this year's Heisman that will be awarded on Dec. 10. Odds from. Heisman…
