TCU has heard the doubt from practically every corner of the college football world. Coming off a 5-7 season and a coaching change, the Horned Frogs in the preseason were picked to finish seventh in the 10-team Big 12. Then came a gauntlet of four straight October games against ranked opponents. TCU destroyed Oklahoma by 31 points and followed with…

The Georgia Bulldogs have won 15 games in a row dating back to last year and including the National Championship. Even with Ohio State being a worthy opponent, will the 6.5-point spread be a big enough roadblock for Bulldogs backers? Prior to the start of the season, it would have not been shocking if the Georgia Bulldogs had met the Ohio State…

Depending on who you ask, the TCU Horned Frogs are either underrated or overrated. Regardless, a win over Kansas State could punch their ticket to the College Football Playoff. Our betting picks sort through the Frogs' chances at staying unbeaten. The Big 12 Championship is on the line at At&T Stadium as Kansas State (9-3) hopes for a different…

They have been in this situation more than a half dozen times since the first year of the BCS (1998), and the odds are low it works out if history is any guide. Here is a look at past years Ohio State went into the last weekend of the season hoping the cards come out in their favor to keep their national championship hopes going through the…

Alabama was left out of the College Football Playoff, and Tide fans couldn't believe the committee's decision. For just the second time in its short history, the College Football Playoff will not feature the Alabama Crimson Tide. After losing twice this season, albeit on final plays of very close games, Nick Saban's squad ended up on the outside…

The College Football Playoff odds for 2022-23 feature the No. 4 seeded Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 1 seeded Georgia Bulldogs. Ohio football fans are fired up to see their beloved Ohio State Buckeyes back in the College Football Playoff, and this time around they'll be able to legally bet on all the action. That's because legal sports betting…

The 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship Game is set to be contested between Alabama and Ohio State. Both programs breezed to victory in their respective CFP semifinal matchups on New Year's Day, where the Crimson Tide unsurprisingly rolled Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl-winning by a score of 31-14 as heavy favorites-and the Buckeyes…

I'll be honest, I never expected to be able to write this article. But here we are on the eve of the biggest Purdue football game since I became a student and a fan. And everyone everywhere is picking the Michigan Wolverines to win. You'll have to read the predictions article later today, but I don't think many "writers" are going to pick Purdue to…

The College Football Playoff (CFP) committee released their second-last rankings for the 2022 season. As it stands, if the top four teams win, they are all in. But chaos looms large over all the teams entering conference championship weekend. The latest College Football Playoff top four: Georgia Michigan USC Ohio State has fallen three spots to No.…

by Christopher Delgado - 11/29/2022 Let's quickly start with a recap of this past weekend in college football. This was a weekend to be hyped for as Michigan took on OSU. That was one of the blockbuster games that we covered in our predictions last week. We had OSU covering their -7.5 at home against Michigan. Michigan arrived in Columbus with a…

Following the conclusion of the 2022 college football regular season, the conference championship games are set and the No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs will face the No. 12 Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday for the Big 12 title in Arlington, Texas. Despite being in a good position to win the conference, the Horned Frogs want more. TCU is perhaps the biggest…

Ten conference championship games between Friday and Saturday will finalize our bowl schedule and help determine which four teams are selected for the College Football Playoff. Read on for our best ATS bets for Week 14's college football action. This year, the CFP committee has some relatively straightforward decisions, as Georgia, Michigan, and…

Eight Pac-12 questions to address this week with just one game left: . Is there any way that USC would NOT make the College Football Playoff if it beats Utah in Friday's 5 p.m. Pac-12 championship game in Las Vegas? Simply put, Ohio State is the only possible fly in USC's ointment if the Trojans finish 12-1. Let's run down the…

November is officially here, which means it is time to predict the first 2022-23 College Football Playoff Rankings. The CFP committee will announce its first top 25 Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET, so fans will have the first picture of who has a chance of making it to the College Football Playoff. The 2022 regular season has been full of surprises. Teams…

With just two weeks until "Selection Sunday," the latest College Football Playoff rankings have been released. How did the CFP Selection Committee view some close-fought wins? And was there any movement in the final four of the CFP rankings? For every team in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, you'll find a series of stats. Those…

The Auburn Tigers (5-6) will travel to Tuscaloosa, Alabama Saturday afternoon to play the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide (9-2) in the Iron Bowl at Bryant-Denny Stadium (3:30 p.m. ET, CBS). The Tigers need one more win to become bowl eligible, while the Crimson Tide are trying to end the regular season on a high note and give themselves a chance to make…

Penn State's Rose Bowl chances received a slight boost Saturday from a surprising SEC result, though that game also might have blocked the Lions' path to other New Year's 6 bowls. Penn State continued its surge to the top 10 with a 55-10 win over Rutgers on Saturday, a game in which the Lions scored 48 unanswered points after a sluggish start. Penn…

What happened on the University of Virginia campus on Sunday night has shaken the college football landscape on a different level. Though no polls, rivalries or revenue were impacted, it was much more important. It was everyday life. By now you know Cavalier football players Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler and D'Sean Perry were all killed by a…

Antonio Williams posted a career-best effort in the win over Louisville. The updated College Football Playoff rankings have been released and so have the Clemson Media Poll rankings. Each week we poll 24 Clemson media members, including writers, radio hosts, bloggers, and podcasters to get the pulse on how those closest to the Tigers assess the lay…

Four undefeated college teams enter Week 11, and all are ranked in the Top 4 by the College Football Playoff Committee (CFP). Last weekend, all four won straight-up (SU) and (ATS). The top-ranked and reigning national champion Georgia Bulldogs throttled the Mississippi State Bulldogs, 45-19, and easily covered the spread as 16-point favorites. The…

As I'm sitting here writing this column, it's truly hard to believe that we're nearing the end of the college football regular season. With some rivalry games even taking place this weekend, it feels like the season went by too quickly. But the College Football Playoff path is still far from clear. At least nine teams still have a chance to play in…

They say recruiting is the lifeblood of college athletics. Or, perhaps, funding. Or, in today's climate, the marriage of recruiting and funding, an NIL collective. All that stuff is important, but the grease that keeps the gears moving is … speculation. Oh, we can't wait to talk about what will be in college sports, often to the detriment of what…

Sonny Dykes, Max Duggan and the TCU Horned Frogs are still unbeaten and could be headed to the College Football Playoff. There are still a few hurdles to clear, but TCU was No. 4 in last week's CFP Committee rankings and a 17-10 win over Texas certainly didn't hurt its resume. Now, the Horned Frogs just have to get through Baylor and Iowa State on…

ATHENS - The College Football Playoff drama is building with only two weeks left in the regular season and then a round of conference championship games on Dec. 2-3. There's little to no debate about the top two spots belonging to Georgia and Ohio State at the moment, but the squawking grows loud and potential politics emerge when discussing and…

Every day for the entirety of the Ohio State football season, we will be asking and answering questions about the team, college football, and anything else on our collective minds of varying degrees of importance. If you have a question that you would like to ask, you can tweet us @LandGrant33 or if you need more than 280 characters, send an…

Not many gave it a second thought when Texas A&M entered the season ranked No. 6 in the preseason AP Top 25. Sure, it was rare leap for a team that finished unranked the season prior, but coming off compiling the No. 1 recruiting class of all time and with three new additions in the quarterback room, some viewed the Aggies as a dark horse College…

If you believe the SEC is pompous, entitled and doesn't think its sweat socks stink, your worst fear seemed to vanish last week: Three SEC teams in the College Football Playoff. "To me, that's blasphemous," Robert Griffin III said during the Florida-Texas A&M game last week. The ESPN analyst and former Heisman Trophy winner spoke for many people…

8. USC 9. Alabama 10. Clemson 13. Utah 14. Penn State 15. UNC 17. Tulane 18. Texas 21. Illinois 22. UCF 24. Kentucky 25. Washington Georgia Overview After the Dawgs beat down Tennessee 27-13 in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the final score indicated, the CFP Committee put the Dawgs #1 in a surprise to no one. The Dawgs will have to refocus…

Tennessee's stint with the No. 1 ranking in the College Football Playoff rankings lasted one week as the Vols dropped after losing on the road at then-No. 3 Georgia. In the new top 25 released on Tuesday night on ESPN, Tennessee landed at No. 5 behind the unbeaten quartet of Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU. The Vols also fell to No. 5 in both…

Tennessee football doesn't control its own destiny for a College Football Playoff bid. That went out of the window when it lost to Georgia 27-13 last week. The Vols (8-1, 4-1 SEC) perhaps can get into the four-team bracket if they beat Missouri (4-5, 2-4) on Saturday (noon ET, CBS) and then South Carolina and Vanderbilt to finish the regular…

This week marks the beginning of the College Football Playoff rankings. Whereas before we used the AP Poll as the ranking system for our teams, we will now be deferring to the CFP poll for the rest of the season - seeing as that determines what will be the national championship game. Last week, we saw Michigan reclaim the Paul Bunyan trophy, a huge…

While the Wolverines have been one of the most dominant teams in the nation, they've suffered from slow starts before running away from foes in the second half. Looking to make a point to the CFP, our NCAAF picks expect something similar Saturday night. Slighted by the College Football Playoff ranking committee or not, the Michigan Wolverines must…

Just one of the five Big Ten games this weekend are between two ranked teams, but it's the most important week for the conference until the final week of the regular season. With No. 2 Ohio State traveling to No. 13 Penn State and No. 4 Michigan hosting rival Michigan State, both the league's College Football Playoff contenders will be…

Ohio State-Penn State, Kentucky-Tennessee, Georgia-Florida and Michigan-Michigan State all headline the weekend. As October comes to a close, the stakes in this college football season continue to get higher. This is the last weekend before the first College Football Playoff top-25 rankings are released by the selection committee, which will…

Like many of OTE's posters and contributors, I am an academic by occupation. As someone with training in both history and political science, I've had some exposure to game theory, which is a way of using mathematical modeling to predict human behavior under varying sets of circumstances, and with varying degrees of information. At the core of game…
