Alabama will enter the 2022 college football season as one of the favorites to win the national title, this despite coming up on the short end against Georgia in the College Football Playoff National Championship. However, there are a few major questions left to be resolved in spring practice that should be on display in the A-Day spring game on…

In last season's Citrus Bowl, Kentucky beat Iowa 20-17 when both teams struggled on offense for the first three quarters before finally putting things together in the fourth quarter to provide some offensive fireworks. The good folks at the Music City Bowl watched it and thought to themselves, "We need to get us some of that." Now here we are with…

Alabama football has had a love/hate relationship with the Sugar Bowl. Paul W. "Bear" Bryant loved the SuperDome but Nick Saban has had his struggles. The Tide's current head coach finally got over that hump in the 2017-18 game. Saban may be familiar with New Orleans, but it will be the first trip to the Big Easy for anyone on the roster and all…

The first college football bowl game was played on Jan. 1, 1902, and it was decidedly not a classic. Michigan beat Stanford 49-0 in the inaugural Rose Bowl. Among the lowlights: nine Stanford fumbles and its captain saying that his team was quitting with eight minutes remaining. But in the nearly 121 years since then, football fans have enjoyed a…

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Iowa and Kentucky are running it back in the New Year's Eve Music City Bowl in Nashville. It's a rematch of last year's Citrus Bowl in Orlando. It's not often we see Power 5 schools meeting up in back-to-back bowl games. And this one is being frowned upon by college football fans outside of the fan bases, especially by the folks…

college football odds series for our Louisville Kentucky prediction and pick. The Kentucky Wildcats have labored through this season.

college football odds series for our Northern Illinois Kentucky prediction and pick. The Kentucky Wildcats have a huge opportunity in front of them. This program played in the Citrus Bowl last season, just as it did a few years earlier (when the bowl game was known as the Capital One Bowl). The Citrus, however, is not a New Year's Six bowl. Those…

Four weeks into the 2022 college football season, only 21 teams remain unbeaten. Of the undefeated or one-loss teams, some look familiar to college basketball fans. The reigning national champion Kansas Jayhawks are among the undefeated college football teams. The Kentucky Wildcats are also 4-0 and started the round of 64 as the No. 2 seed before…

Fresh on the heels of an incredibly hard-fought SEC road win over Florida in the Swamp, the Kentucky football team heads home for a pair of non-conference games supposedly less stressful contests to fine-tune and tinker with what it learned all the while being a top-ten ranked team. On Saturday they welcome head coach Mark Stoops' hometown school…

The Sea of Blue group chat is blowing up this week as excitement builds for the first week of the college football season as all 14 SEC teams will be in action this week. That means "talking season" is officially over as the SEC rolls into Week 1 with six teams ranked in the AP Top 25 Poll in Alabama (1), Georgia (3), Texas A&M (6), Arkansas (19),…

College football fans are a family, motivated by state pride and inspired by school tradition. Whether it's LSU's "hot boudin" cheer at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge on a Saturday night, or Stanford's imaginative halftime band performances, college games include unique experiences passed from generation to generation. Tapping into this…
