After weeks of more or less meaningless bowl games, we finally get to the part of the postseason schedule when things really matter: Saturday's College Football Playoff semifinals. That, along with two other bowl games on New Year's Eve, makes for a fun day of college football. Here's a look at Saturday's matchups, including any players and coaches…

For the second year in a row, the Iowa Hawkeyes and Kentucky Wildcats will be hooking up in the postseason after they met last January in the VRBO Citrus Bowl, seeing the Big Blue come out with a 20-17 win. Fast-forward 364 days and these two will be back at each other again in Nashville in the Music City Bowl. Want more irony? Last year was just…

It's not often that two schools from different conferences play each other twice in a calendar year, but the Iowa Hawkeyes (7-5, 7-5 ATS) and Kentucky Wildcats (7-5, 8-4 ATS) can make that boast. The Wildcats beat the Hawkeyes 20-17 in the Citrus Bowl on January 1, 2022. Here they are, 364 days later, meeting again on New Year's Eve in the Music…

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…

Although a nationwide cold front chilled the holiday weekend, bowl season is ready to heat up significantly. After a dozen days of one matchup, maybe two, we're ready for a complete week of three or four showdowns. This is, in fact, the most wonderful week of the postseason. This edition covers the biggest bowl-season questions, as determined by…

After allowing Kentucky to score the go-ahead points with under two minutes to play in last season's Citrus Bowl, Iowa has a golden opportunity to redeem itself against the Wildcats. But it'll have to do so on the shoulders of a third-string quarterback. Here's what to know about this matchup. Saturday, Dec. 31, noon at Nissan Stadium in Nashville,…

Hudson Card was a four-star quarterback recruit for the Texas Longhorns in 2020, the No. 2-ranked dual-threat QB in the nation. Card was just fine when he got on the field. He passed for 1523 yards, 11 TDs, and two INTs. But he got just five starts in three years in Austin, beaten out by Quinn Ewers this preseason. Now the redshirt sophomore is…

Last week's 24-21 loss to Vanderbilt was a low point in the 2022 season for the Kentucky football team (6-4, 3-4 SEC). The good news is that it's a new week for UK. The bad news is today's game is against top-ranked Georgia (10-0, 7-0 SEC). It will be a massive challenge to top the Bulldogs to be sure, so will changes be on the horizon? Probably…

Kentucky head football coach Mark Stoops was at a loss for words after the Wildcats' loss at Mississippi State last fall. "Pretty difficult to have an opening statement because it's been awhile since we played a game like that," Stoops said after the 31-17 beatdown on Oct. 30, 2021. "Not a very good feeling." Nearly a year later, that feeling…

One of the top QBs in college football will be featured when Will Rogers and the Mississippi State Bulldogs (5-1) visit the Kentucky Wildcats (4-1) on Saturday, October 15, 2022. The Bulldogs defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 40-17 in their most recent outing. The Wildcats' most recent outing finished in a 24-14 loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks.…

Kentucky's struggles at offensive line have become well-documented over the course of the first six weeks of the season. The Big Blue Wall is 128th out of 131 FBS schools in sacks allowed-per-game, giving up 4.2 every four quarters. It's the second worst mark amongst Power Five schools, behind just Texas Tech. UK also ranks 111th in…

This had all the ingredients to be one of the week's electric games, the first time both are ranked in a series that dates back to 1915. Nobody in the country has thrown for more yardage than Mississippi State's Will Rogers, who has accumulated 2110 yards through the air. Meanwhile, the Wildcats' Will Levis (10.0) is one of only five collegiate…

The past week has been brutal for Kentucky football fans, first watching a tough loss at Ole Miss on Saturday, and then sitting on pins and needles as quarterback Will Levis remains a "game time" decision for Saturday's home matchup against South Carolina. Levis, projected as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft, dislocated his finger in last week's…

LEXINGTON - If quarterback Will Levis can't play Saturday, when the No. 13-ranked Kentucky football team hosts South Carolina, the Wildcats likely will turn to backup Kaiya Sheron. And though UK coach Mark Stoops has expressed his faith in backups Sheron and Deuce Hogan, this isn't a move Kentucky (4-1, 1-1 SEC) hoped to have to make this…
