LINCOLN - One more offseason. One more preseason. One more football season. And one more postseason. All with a new commissioner, and an eye toward a larger future in the league. One more trip around the sun with this iteration of Big Ten football. And one more year with divisional schedules. One more year, for certain, of a Big Ten title game. The…

It's New Year's Eve which means it is also the biggest day of the college football season! Two College Football Playoff Semifinal matchups are on tap for Saturday. First, the TCU Horned Frogs will battle the Michigan Wolverines in the Fiesta Bowl. Later on, the Georgia Bulldogs will look to get one step closer to winning back-to-back national…

Stetson Bennett had his best game of the season against Ohio State, going 23-for-34 for 398 yards, with three TD passes and an interception. It was the first time in six games that he's crossed the 300+ yard plateau, but he should have plenty of opportunity against a TCU defense that ranks 83rd in pass yards, giving up 235.6 per game. Last week at…

Check out my top player prop bets for the 2023 College Football Playoff National Championship Game between Georgia and TCU. 2022 regular season: 82-66-3 ATS (55.4%) 2022 bowls: 27-17-1 ATS (61.4%) 2022 combined: 109-83-4 ATS (56.7%) 2014-2021: 706-620-17 ATS (53.2%) TCU QB Max Duggan - over 233.5 passing yards Georgia's defense is fabulous - it…

Only one game remains in the 2022 season, and it will be played Monday night in SoFi Stadium. That's where the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs, the defending national champions, will take on the Cinderella story of the 2022 season, the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs, in the College Football Playoff National Championship Georgia, which will play in its third…

Michigan's ground game didn't miss a beat when Corum went down in the second last week of the season. Edwards stepped in versus Ohio State, and ripped off 216 rushing yards and two scores. He followed up that performance with a 185-yard, one-TD performance in the Conference Championship Game, and averaged 8.5 yards per carry in those two…

The biggest of stages are set and the College Football Playoff will finally be played come Saturday. Michigan and TCU will faceoff at 4 p.m. ET and Ohio State will try its hand against Georgia afterward at 8 p.m. ET. Both games will be televised on ESPN. The Wolverines and Horned Frogs are in a unique situation. The Big 12 and Big Ten don't have…

I'll admit it. All season long I expected TCU to stumble. They seemingly came out of nowhere and just kept winning. Often, they didn't win by much. But when it was time for the Big 12 championship game, the Horned Frogs were undefeated and a frontrunner for a playoff spot. As we all know, the Kansas State Wildcats hung on to beat TCU in overtime…

The College Football Playoff field is set and the defending national champions face a familiar road, but with one new member crashing the party. Georgia leads the field at No. 1 with the nation's longest winning streak (14 games) and the nation's best defense. No. 3 TCU joins the field as the only other Big 12 program outside Oklahoma to reach the…

Michigan looks to further cement its hold on the College Football Playoff as it squares off against Purdue in the Big Ten Championship Game on Saturday. Win or lose, it appears Michigan is one of the locks for the national semifinal after finishing the regular season undefeated, capped off by a dominant victory over a then-ranked No. 2 Ohio State…

Michigan is headed back to Indianapolis for the second straight year. The Wolverines are coming off of a perfect regular season going 12-0 and the maize and blue beat both rivals: Michigan State and Ohio State. Last season, Michigan defeated Iowa in the Big Ten Championship, and this year the Wolverines will take on 8-4 Purdue. Saturday will mark…

11-0 Michigan will march into Columbus on Saturday to take on the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes. It's the first time both teams are ranked in the top five and undefeated since 2006 when Ohio State beat Michigan in Columbus, 42-39. Ohio State has dominated this era of football, but Michigan holds the all-time series record against its rival. The…

COLUMBUS, Ohio - No Blake Corum, no problem for Michigan. The third-ranked Wolverines uncorked their passing attack for the first time in months on Saturday and leaned on a career day from Donovan Edwards, knocking unbeaten Ohio State, 45-23, to claim the Big Ten East division title for a second straight year. Their victory, the second straight…

A best bet and analysis for Saturday's Michigan-Ohio State game. Ohio State is favored by more than a touchdown at home. This hugely anticipated showdown matches Ohio States' prolific offense against Michigan's imposing defense. Ohio State leads the nation in yards per play at 7.39 yards per play; Michigan allows the second-fewest yards per play in…

The betting trends in the article below use…

After much assumption an undefeated Michigan will meet an undefeated Ohio State in Columbus. Is it for all the marbles though? The talk of the town is, can a 1-loss Michigan or Ohio State still get into the college football playoff? Also, we saw former No. 5 Tennessee's playoff hopes drown away in a South Carolina beat down. Lots of talking heads…

With one week to play in the 2022 regular season, Michigan football held onto the No. 3 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night, for the third consecutive week. The top four remained unchanged, as all four of the nation's undefeated teams won Saturday: No. 1 Georgia (11-0, 8-0 SEC), No. 2 Ohio State (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten), No. 3…

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…

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…

Head coach Jim Mora likened his UConn football team to the Atlanta Falcons team he coached in 2004 after the Huskies lost to Syracuse, 48-14, on Sept. 10. He remembered heading into Arrowhead Stadium to play the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7, Oct. 24, 2004. Mora's Falcons were 5-1, led by Michael Vick, who finished second behind Peyton Manning in…
