#Orange Bowl

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 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…

The 2022 college football season is sadly behind us, as Georgia repeated as national champions by clobbering TCU 65-7 on Monday night. Now that another season has ended, let's evaluate the year as a whole by looking at how each college football conference did in 2022. To gauge how each conference performed this season, we'll take a look at a…

Penn State's bowl projections still run quite a range, but one postseason game returned to view following Saturday's Week 10 slate. The Lions have a path to the 2023 Rose Bowl. No. 15 Penn State (7-2) will climb a spot or two in this week's College Football Playoff rankings, based on its 45-14 win over Indiana and other results around the country.…

Clemson has missed out on consecutive College Football Playoffs after being a mainstay on the sport's biggest stage for the better part of a decade, but Dabo Swinney doesn't think his program's elite days are over. In fact, the Tigers' veteran coach is of the opinion that more national championships are coming to Clemson sooner rather than…

After two weeks of enjoyable matinees, the marquee games of college football's 2022 bowl season are up next. Most importantly, of course, we have the College Football Playoff semifinals. Second-ranked Michigan takes on No. 3 TCU before top-ranked and defending-champ Georgia squares off with No. 4 Ohio State. But there's also the remainder of the…

The 2022 college football season is over. Even though the dust hasn't quite settled, we are already looking forward to the 2023 campaign. Things will look quite a bit different for those in the Big 12 Conference. The conference schedule still hasn't been announced but there will be some big-time matchups already on the schedule. The Oregon Ducks,…

The Michigan Wolverines would open as an underdog against the Georgia Bulldogs if the teams play in the College Football Playoff National Championship game, according to FanDuel Sportsbook's betting odds. Georgia would be an 8.5-point favorite over Michigan if they play in the title game on January 9, 2022. Michigan is a 7.5-point favorite against…

Georgia will chase a third consecutive national championship in 2023 as the favorite in the USA TODAY Sports way-too-early Top 25 for next season, ahead of the familiar run of teams that have come to dominate the Bowl Subdivision. The Bulldogs are followed by No. 2 Michigan, No. 3 Alabama, No. 4 Florida State and No. 5 Penn State. After an…

Is TCU's 65-7 loss to Georgia the worst loss in college football title game history? Yes. In fact, it's the worst loss in any bowl game ever. FORT WORTH, Texas - TCU has been the Cinderella story of the 2022-2023 college football season. But it seems the clock struck midnight before the Horned Frogs' College Football Playoff National Championship…

The College Football Playoff not only replaced the old BCS format but also made the CFP the most watchable tournament of the college football season. Everyone knows that the CFP started in 2014 and Ohio State won the first National Championship, but before the CFP and BCS the national champions were declared by poll systems. The best thing the…

From David and Goliath to the Miracle on Ice, there's something about an underdog story that gets our juices flowing. Upsets happen in all shapes and sizes. It can be Appalachian State beating Michigan at the Big House or Boise State tricking its way past Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl. But there's something more special about an upset in a national…

No. 1 Georgia (14-0), the only undefeated team in the FBS, is a 13.5-point favorite over No. 3 TCU (13-1). As we preview the game, let's first take a look at the numbers.

SHOWDOWN. Here's hoping the two best teams in the AFC play to their potential Monday night in Ohio. The slightly favored Buffalo Bills proved early in the season they can win on the road against good teams. The Cincinnati Bengals have won seven straight, but will meet their match in this battle for the top seed in the conference. Expect the Bills…

This is the complied version of the All Things CW notes column by Christopher Walsh which appeared in five part this week, with the latest on the Alabama Crimson Tide. It actually began with a long-snapper. Nick Saban always has what he calls the 24-hour rule regarding games, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the wins a little, or get the losses…

The college football season ends Monday night with a championship game in which Georgia is a two-touchdown favorite over TCU. Forget those betting lines. Forget the bluebloods sitting at home - some idiot talking head actually said he'd rather see Georgia playing Alabama. Forget the naysayers who whine about the postseason, saying there are too…

The Orange Bowl seems a long way off after 13 games in 14 weeks, but Clemson football has already decided which color combo to wear in the orange-filled game. It appears the Tigers have decided to go with the orange pants and white jerseys, though there was some "think" in the statement. Yesterday, I wrote about where Myles Murphy and Bryan…

After what must be considered the best Semifinal offering in the nine-year history of the College Football Playoff, it's time for Championship Monday. Here's what you need to know. The Schedule Monday, Jan. 9, 2023; 7:30pm ET, ESPN - SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, Calif. The Teams TCU has two claimed national championships but hasn't won the whole…

Hopefully you've been enjoying Bowl season, however, the games so far have only been the hors d'oeuvres, as the next couple of days brings us the traditional Big 6 New Year's Eve bowls, including the two national championship semi-finals. This really will be an'Orange' Bowl, as both teams traditionally play in Orange, it should also be a…

What a season it was for the Tennessee Volunteers football program. The Vols beat Florida, LSU and Alabama, won a New Year's 6 bowl game for the 1st time since January 2005 and finished the season with 11 wins for the 1st time in 21 years. The 2022 season will be remembered by Vols fans for decades to come. But it won't be long before all attention…

We'll talk about the football fireworks that ensued in the semifinals, and we'll celebrate one of the greatest days college football has ever seen. But we need to start with TCU and only TCU. Because right now, this…

We are now five days away from the 2021 Orange Bowl and here are the odds as well as an early prediction for Michigan football vs Georgia. It can be hard to keep track of time during the holidays and bowl season. But for all intents and purposes, it's now game week for Michigan football. The Wolverines arrived in Miami for their Orange Bowl…

The official end to Tennessee football's 2022 season was a sweet one. The Volunteers notched 11 wins with an Orange Bowl victory over the Clemson Tigers, in what clearly qualifies as an upset. Despite missing a Heisman candidate quarterback and their Biletnikoff winning wide receiver, Tennessee went ahead and wrangled the Tigers for a 31-14…

Bowl games are ripe for overreaction. The final impression teams leave before heading into hibernation contribute to narratives about teams and conferences that last until proven otherwise, exerting a heavy influence on preseason polls. Several teams are set to see this benefit, including Penn State, Washington, Notre Dame and, of course, Georgia…

The Clemson Tigers have one of college football's top 25 scoring offenses, averaging 34.7 points per game. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney isn't sure that clip will cut it against Tennessee in the Orange Bowl. "If you're playing Tennessee, you better score," Swinney said Wednesday afternoon. "If we don't score, we've got no chance, because these guys…

One of my favorite non-major bowl games, as the winning coach gets himself a nice mayo bath. Both the Terps and the Wolfpack have been dealing with opt-outs galore, with Maryland tight end CJ Dippre and NC State quarterback Devin Leary being the most notable absentees, as both players have hit the transfer portal (Dippre announced yesterday via…

Usually there aren't many revelations and inferences to be made during the typical bowl season, other than the fact that teams with 6-6 regular season records that don't win their bowl game end the season with losing records (Thanks for playing, Oklahoma. You too, Florida). However, before getting to the (only) two games that really matter, a few…

Instead of cramming the rest of the bowl games into one article, I figured I'd split them up, with the Thursday and Friday games in this article, and predictions for the games on Saturday and Monday in one last MC&J picks piece that will drop in the near future. (All lines courtesy of Draftkings Sportsbook.) Both of these teams had their eyes on…
