The college football bowl season gives us a chance to celebrate teams that flew under the radar in the regular season. The Duke Blue Devils were not in the national conversation much, but they were one of the most surprising teams in the ACC. Duke plays the UCF Knights in the Military Bowl on Dec. 28. That game serves as an example of what the Blue…

By Chris Siers ~ [email protected] While the landscape of college football is in an ever-changing state, between NIL deals, transfer portals, realignment and expansion, one thing that hasn't changed is the fervor surrounding college football bowl games.

It's the most wonderful time of the year for college football teams that had the type of seasons worthy of bowl games. While, in a lot of cases, the postseason has become a glorified showcase of depth and future talent as NFL-caliber players sit out non-playoff contests, there are still some terrific matchups full of good players and teams you may…

The David Shaw Era at Stanford ended with a thud on Nov. 26. The Cardinals lost to BYU 35-26 to complete a second consecutive 3-9 season. Shaw resigned moments after the game and the search continues for a replacement. Stanford had a 14-28 record in Shaw's last four seasons after going 82-26 in his first eight seasons. Shaw was promoted from…

Let's continue our college football odds series and make our TCU-Baylor prediction and pick. TCU has put themselves firmly in the College Football Playoff conversation with a 10-0 start to their season. New…

TCU has been getting little respect from the books this season despite its flawless record. Facing a regressing Baylor squad, we like the Horned Frogs to continue to outperform in Week 12 - our college football picks explain why. What a magical first season in Fort Worth it has been for Sonny Dykes. TCU is 10-0 and one of just four remaining…

The Kansas Jayhawks take on the Baylor Bears. Check out our college football odds series for our Kansas Baylor prediction and pick. The Baylor Bears are still one of the most enigmatic and puzzling teams in college football. They won the Big 12 last season and were picked as a top-15 team and a Big 12 championship contender in the offseason. Teams…

Two teams in the thick of the Big 12 conference title race will face off Saturday with the Kansas State Wildcats traveling to Waco to take on a red-hot Baylor Bears team.

college football odds series for our Baylor Texas Tech prediction and pick. The Baylor Bears were a preseason top-15 team. The presumption heading into 2022 was that Baylor would continue to be a very strong defensive team, for the simple reason that Dave Aranda has a great track record as a defensive coach. Aranda coached the LSU defense to the…

Nearly two full months have passed since former Nebraska football head coach Scott Frost was relieved of his duties. Athletic director Trev Alberts has succeeded in keeping his national coaching search quiet in the time since as the Huskers play through the 2022 season. Nonetheless, Alberts will most likely make a decision before the end of the…

college football odds series for our Baylor Oklahoma prediction and pick. The Baylor Bears were sliding and slumping in the middle of their season. They didn't play defense they way they were able to in the 2021 season, when they won the Big 12 championship with a last-minute goal-line stand against Oklahoma State. This year's Baylor defense got…

Baylor is still alive in the battle for a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game, but the Bears will need a road win against Oklahoma this weekend to remain in the race. After a disastrous three-game stretch earlier in the season, the Sooners have gotten back on track with two straight conference wins. As we begin the final month of the regular…

Below, we'll look at every bowl game with a firm Big 12 tie-in and what those matchups might look…

Jimbo Fisher's (lack of) performance has been the talk of college football this season, and rightfully so. After starting 2021 ranked No. 6, the Aggies finished unranked. Despite that underperformance, the Aggies again started No. 6 this fall, and at press time it looks like Texas A&M will not only finish out of the rankings come January, they…

Those Carolina fans that can make the game Thursday night will get a chance to see the Gamecocks try to work out some…

No. 9 Oklahoma State travels to play No. 16 Baylor for early control of the Big 12 Championship Game race in Week 5.

Baylor has a…

Blake Shapen is looking like the smart choice to have won Baylor's QB battle, and he may just be the difference against an Oklahoma State defense that gets picked apart through the air.

O/U: 56.5 Moneyline: OSU+110 BAY -143 FPI pick: Baylor 65.3% 1. Defense could decide it. Sure, the Big 12 has built its reputation for playing high-flying offense the last few years, but these two teams rode elite defensive play to the conference title game last season. OSU's has taken a slight hit since Jim Knowles left, allowing 44 points to…

Clemson and Wake Forest battle in a matchup that could determine who earns a berth in the conference championship game. Read on for our best ATS bets for Week 4's college football action.

Defending champion Bears look to snap road losing streak to the Cyclones. The Big 12 race is officially on as two of the conference's top programs the last couple of years outside of the Oklahoma Sooners line up against each other this weekend. Baylor (2-1) and Iowa State (3-0) should be the main attraction on the Big 12 schedule this weekend - no…

college football odds series for our Texas State Baylor prediction and pick. The Baylor Bears have a problem. They can't throw. Their game against BYU this past weekend was hard to watch, especially for any Baylor fan. The Bears simply couldn't throw the ball down the field. They used a very conservative game plan and tried to win the game with…

Just last season, Baylor dominated BYU in Waco in a game it led by as much as 21. As our college football betting picks explain, we don't think enough has changed to justify BYU now being a 3.5-point favorite at home. Arguably the top matchup in Week 2 of the college football season goes down Saturday night in Provo as the No. 9 Baylor Bears head…

We're just a few days away from kickoff and the Oklahoma Sooners are about to embark on their quest to return to the Big 12 title game and the College Football Playoff.

The spotlight is on the Big Ten in Week 9. Two Big Ten East matchups are at the forefront. No. 6 Michigan travels to No. 8 Michigan State in the conference's second top-10 showdown of the season. The Wolverines and Spartans have dueling 7-0 records, so the battle for the Paul Bunyan Trophy should be epic. No. 5 Ohio State also plays No. 20 Penn…

Editor's note: Our annual Top 25 preview week continues with a breakdown of the best defensive coordinators in the business. The hardest job in college football, where losing happens nearly every play - and it's only a question of how badly. The goal for defensive coordinators used to be 3-and-outs and forcing turnovers. Now it's simply getting a…
