With the 2022 college football season officially over, it's time to direct attention to the 2023 season. There's no better way to do that than to talk about "way-too-early" top 25 rankings and look at Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff championship odds, so we decided to do just that. We took a look at where Ohio State falls in the…

The Michigan Wolverines have posted a historic 25-3 record over the last two seasons and will look to keep that momentum rolling with an experienced and talented team in 2023. While professional declarations will not be finalized until next Sunday, Team 144 is expected to return a minimum of 15 starters, with optimistic projections ranging as high…

From David and Goliath to the Miracle on Ice, there's something about an underdog story that gets our juices flowing. Upsets happen in all shapes and sizes. It can be Appalachian State beating Michigan at the Big House or Boise State tricking its way past Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. But there's something more special about an upset in a national…

The coaches, culture and attitude have propelled the Michigan Wolverines back to being the apex predators in the Big Ten and on the cusp of playing for a national title. However, Michigan would not be in the rarified air it now occupies without several surprising developments happening along the way. Below are my top five picks for these phenomena,…

Michigan State will hit the field as a considerable underdog when it meets Alabama in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's Eve, the second of the two College Football Playoff semifinals. But that might be right where the Spartans want to be, considering their amazing record of 9-4 straight up and 11-1-1 against the spread their last 13 times out getting…

The Big Ten has been in the news cycle often this offseason and not because of its reigning champion nor its biggest national brand. But we're not here to talk realignment- let's dive into the landscape of the Big Ten conference for the 2022 college football season. As a refresher, the Michigan Wolverines won their first outright conference title…

Week 12 in the Big Ten included surprising scares for the two best teams in the conference, as No. 2 Ohio State (11-0) escaped a close one at Maryland (6-5) and No. 3 Michigan (11-0) needed a last-minute field goal to survive against Illinois (7-4) at home. A possible explanation is that both teams were already looking ahead to Week 13, when…

Meet the new boss, same as the … ah, the heck with it. Alabama enters the latest College Football Playoff as the No. 1 seed the fifth time. When the 2021 Cotton Bowl kicks off Friday afternoon, it will be on the field for a CFP semifinal for the seventh time in the event's eight-year existence. Look and sound familiar? It should. The Crimson Tide,…

While the overall season was a disappointment, the Colorado State football team has plenty to build on for the 2023 season and the work to be better next year has already begun. Optimism ran high from the hiring of Jay Norvell last December through spring and fall workouts and even after a season-opening loss to Michigan at The Big House. But after…

It's the final week of the regular season in college football, and there's no bigger game on the slate than The Game as the Michigan Wolverines (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) take on the Ohio State Buckeyes (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten) on Saturday afternoon. Kickoff from the Horseshoe (aka Ohio Stadium) in Columbus is scheduled for 12:00 pm EST and will be broadcast…

With two games left in the regular season, Michigan will host its final game in the Big House on Saturday. The Wolverines will welcome 7-3 Illinois into Michigan Stadium in hopes of keeping their undefeated season alive. Michigan, 10-0, has been dominant on both sides of the ball for most of the season. The Wolverines have a top-five run offense…

When it comes to pregame experience, nothing beats college football. The tailgating and build-up is more important than the actual games in some towns, and everyone wants bragging rights as the top partiers in conference. These tailgating and pregame traditions/rituals become engrained in the campus and town itself, showing off for visiting fans…

Week 11 was our best of the season (5-1), and we were a fourth-and-29 touchdown pass by Rutgers (of all teams) from having a clean sheet. That ups our season record to 38-24 (61.3 percent) with only two weeks left. All seven Big Ten games in Week 12 have tangible meaning to one, if not both, teams. A playoff spot, a division title, or a bowl bid…

We are five games away from crowning a National Champion and the Michigan Wolverines are still in the hunt. A tough road lies ahead as the maize and blue welcome the Illinois Fighting Illini before heading to Columbus for The Game. There is some looking ahead that could impact some teams, and a huge game in the Pac-12 that highlight some of the…

The one knock you hear about No. 3 Michigan and its College Football Playoff hopes is that aside from a 41-17 win over Penn State, there aren't a lot of overly impressive wins on its résumé. From that aspect, Michigan probably wishes the Illinois team it will welcome to The Big House on Saturday wasn't in the midst of a two-game losing streak that…

Michigan's Big 10 showdown with Illinois this weekend has potential trap game written all over it. The No. 3 Wolverines are three-score favorites over the Fighting Illini in a game that has major conference (and potentially playoff) implications. Why is it such a trap game for the Wolverines? Because they have a monster matchup with Ohio…

As if the past 2 weeks weren't demoralizing enough for Illinois and its fans. Now, the Illini may be without their nation-leading running back heading into its toughest challenge of the season. Chase Brown, who leads the nation in rushing with 1442 yards, went down late in Illinois' 31-24 loss to Purdue with a right leg injury. Brown had trouble…

Week 12 of the college football season features two matchups between ranked teams, and both are in the Pac-12 conference. The first is the matchup between No. 7 USC and No. 16 UCLA at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The Trojans are the last remaining Pac-12 team with one loss, and they will have to win at the Rose Bowl to keep those conference championship…

The Illinois Fighting Illini (7-3, 4-3 Big Ten) and No. 3 Michigan Wolverines (10-0, 7-0) meet Saturday at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ABC).

No. 6 Oregon had a four-point lead, was on the 19th play of a drive that gobbled most of the fourth quarter and looked on the way to another clutch Pac-12 victory against rival Washington before Bo Nix went down on third down. Everything afterward was a blur that changed the entire College Football Playoff picture heading into Week 12. The Ducks…

As hard as it is to believe, the 2022 college football season is already halfway over. This season has brought some incredible storylines along with it, including Kansas' resurgence and James Madison entering the rankings just five games into its FBS tenure. However, it seems that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Below, we'll…

No. 5 Michigan (8-0) will travel east to Piscataway to take on Rutgers on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. EDT on Big Ten Network. The Scarlet Knights (4-4) got off to a fast start this season going 3-0. But Rutgers lost the next four out of five games. The lone win for Rutgers in Big Ten play came against Indiana. The maize and blue have dominated this…

Michigan State's run defense is suspect, and the Wolverines have just the man to expose it.

With the start of college football season getting closer, it's worthwhile to see how oddsmakers are handicapping the power conferences. To start, we'll be looking at the favorites, sleepers, and best long-shot bets to win the Big Ten. The Big Ten East division has reigned supreme, winning every Big Ten championship game since the creation of the…

Sure, it's possible. Even the most cynical Michigan State fan has to realize keeping the Paul Bunyan Trophy in East Lansing isn't as far-fetched as some would make it out to be. Even with the Spartans' recent track record of playing underwhelming football, Michigan State has a chance to take down Michigan Saturday at The Big House. The Wolverines…

It's foolish to think we know better than oddsmakers when it comes to setting college football lines. But that doesn't stop us from doing it, does it? Every week there are a handful of lines that seem off. And, with shocking regularity, it turns out we were wrong, and the sportsbooks were right. We combed through Michigan online sportsbooks to find…

It's one of those weeks you just can't miss. We're looking at six matchups between ranked opponents, all of them conference games. Three of those games include two unbeaten teams…

This could be the biggest game in the Big 10 conference all year, or at least until either Penn State or Michigan plays Ohio State. This isn't quite a title fight with the belt on the line, but the winner of this one firmly establishes themselves as the No. 1 contender to the heavyweight champion of the Big 10. It'll be a good one at the Big House…
