Virginia wasn't anticipating a change in leadership following a 6-6 season, but in between the team losing its regular-season finale to Virginia Tech and having its appearance in the Fenway Bowl canceled due to a COVID-19 outbreak, head coach Bronco Mendenhall decided to retire - for the moment, at least - from college football.

D.J. Uiagalelei was once the most sought-after quarterback in the nation, a five-star recruit and can't-miss prospect who ultimately chose Clemson to presumably pick up where Trevor Lawrence left off and lead the Tigers back to the top of the college football betting landscape. Things don't always work out as expected. Especially in this game.…

Not many gave it a second thought when Texas A&M entered the season ranked No. 6 in the preseason AP Top 25.

There's good news and there's bad news for No. 11 Alabama. After last week's loss to No. 8 LSU put a crippling dent in any chance of returning to the College Football Playoff, No. 11 Alabama bounced back to beat No. 9 Mississippi 30-24 and avoid the sort of result that would've raised serious alarm bells over the Crimson Tide's precipitous drop out…

Against Miami, the Virginia Cavaliers' defense was outstanding. The offense was horrendous. That makes for unpleasant football. Similarly, Miami's defense was outstanding, and their offense was equally horrendous. That makes for some unwatchable football. Lucky for me, it was blacked out on the ESPN app, so I couldn't watch anyway. The loss put…

Clemson enters the 2021 college football season aiming for a seventh straight ACC title. And there still might not be any program that is ready to dethrone Dabo Swinney's team.
