The new model for turning a college football program around is the transfer portal. All of a sudden, a four-win USC team can compete for Playoff berths in just a year and two-win Colorados can become overnight national attention-grabbers. While not everyone agrees with the portal, it's become important for player mobility. With mobility comes…

The New York Jets are the favored landing spot for Jackson at+300. That gives them an implied probability of 25% percent to wind up with Jackson when the 2023 season begins. The Ravens drafted Jackson with the last pick of the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft after he won the Heisman Trophy at the University of Louisville. He was the NFL MVP in…

Sometime after midnight, having just watched one of the worst football games I have ever seen with my own eyes, I took a gander at Georgia's schedule. Not the 2022 schedule. The Bulldogs passed that test. They finished a perfect 15-0 overall, winning a second national championship. They also finished a superb 11-4 against the spread. After losing…

The Virginia Cavaliers will try to beat a top-10 team for the first time in more than 14 years when they take on the ninth-ranked Florida Gators in the 2019 Capital One Orange Bowl on Monday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The Cavaliers (9-4) have lost 14 straight games against top-10 teams. Their last win over such a team came on Oct. 15, 2005 when…

Georgia's national championship victory over TCU is less than a week old, but the news and offseason never stops in college football - and that's especially true in the SEC.

Georgia set the curve again with a dominant assembly of talent and a wave of youth that kept the red and black mean machine chugging down the tracks. Here's how I grade each SEC team's season. Many programs would celebrate 11-2 as upward trajectory and award their coach an immediate raise and extension. Alabama is not most programs. It holds itself…

College football's 2022 season came to an end last week when Georgia walloped TCU in the national championship game, giving the Bulldogs back-to-back titles.

During last year's playoffs, there was an uncanny amount of upsets.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Ron Swanson once told us that only three things motivate people: money, fear and hunger.
