The flourishing of advanced statistical analysis in sports, and college football specifically, has given us a whole new way of understanding the game.

So I thought it might be worthwhile for those of…

The Big 12 is heating up this weekend with an early college basketball game from Gallagher-Iba Arena in Stillwater between the #6 Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Below, we offer up our best Kansas State-Alabama college football pick based on the NCAAF odds for the Sugar Bowl. Kansas State (10-3) knocked off…

The headline is slang for a low-scoring game. That's what I'm expecting in the Alamo Bowl when the No. 21 Texas Longhorns (8-4) meet the No. 12 Washington Huskies (10-2) Thursday at the Alamodome. Texas started the season 2-2 before rallying for a 6-2 finish to make a bowl game in coach Steve Sarkisian's second season in Austin. The Longhorns are…

Tonight's War on I-4, the annual showdown between UCF and South Florida, will also be the last one for the time being as UCF heads into the Big XII for the 2023 season. That means somehow the rivalry - though it hasn't been around for as many decades as some other in-state rivalries or border wars - may step up in even more intensity. Part of the…

Is it possible to love rivalry week in college football and hate it at the same time? If so, that's me every season for eternity. Don't get me wrong, when it comes to rivalries in sports, there is none better than Michigan-Ohio State football. And this year, with both undefeated and in the top three for the first time since 2006, the stakes are…

It's that time of year again. As we near Thanksgiving, the college football season is working its way towards the postseason. It's time to start projecting how the bowl season is going to shake out.

There's plenty of Big Ten football on the way, but how to know if the Wyoming Cowboys are a good Mountain West team or just an also-ran that beats Illinois? If Washington State beats Wisconsin, should we point and laugh or nod and say "Well, the Coogs are supposed to be better this year"? That's where Beyond the Empire comes in. We reached out to…
