The Armed Forces Bowl usually matches up one of the service academies against a team from Conference USA or the Mountain West. In 2013, the Navy Midshipmen take on the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. But being a service academy hasn't meant much as far as success in this bowl goes, considering Army, Air Force and Navy are a combined 2-3 both…

The 2022 college football season is sadly behind us, as Georgia repeated as national champions by clobbering TCU 65-7 on Monday night.

To gauge how each conference performed this season, we'll take a look at a…

The college football bowl season gives us a chance to celebrate teams that flew under the radar in the regular season.

That game serves as an example of what the Blue…

Bowl games are ripe for overreaction. The final impression teams leave before heading into hibernation contribute to narratives about teams and conferences that last until proven otherwise, exerting a heavy influence on preseason polls. Several teams are set to see this benefit, including Penn State, Washington, Notre Dame and, of course, Georgia…

We take a look back at the winners and losers from Mountain West football's seven bowl games this month. Well, we've finally reached the end of the 2022 Mountain West football season.

No matter what happens over the next few weeks, one thing is abundantly clear. Until further notice, Georgia is the elite team in college football. They are at the top of the mountain. Full stop. For the past decade, Alabama has held onto this honor. There wasn't much debate about that either, although Clemson certainly made things interesting for…

Air Force and Baylor will finish their respective seasons in the Armed Forces Bowl in a matchup flying a bit under the radar.
