The Pac-12 hasn't placed a team in the College Football Playoff in six years. The conference's New Year's Six drought, through the at-large process, is almost as lengthy.

After almost knocking off USC, Oregon State heads to Salt Lake City to face the defending Pac-12 champs. Will Utah avenge its lone Pac-12 loss from last season when it hosts Oregon State on Saturday? The No. 12 Utes (3-1, 1-0 Pac-12) suffered their lone blemish in league play a year ago after falling 42-34 in Corvallis. Utah enters the rematch on a…

At some point, picking winners won't be this easy. Let's address that before we begin. At the moment, however, having not had a single losing week this college football season, we're ready to ride this wave for as long as we possibly can. At the onset, last week looked like it might be an issue. After starting 0-2, doubt started to creep in. Then,…

Driving to vacation I often find myself looking ahead to the feeling of loss I'll experience on the same stretch of road heading home the other way. In a similar way, as we're now a quarter of the way through the regular…

Week 4 in college football is another schedule without a marquee, stop-what-you're-doing-and-get-to-a-TV game, but there's some positive news: (1) My picks went 5-1 against the spread last week, continuing a strong start to the season; and (2) the rubber is starting to hit the road in the top conferences across the country. No. 3 Ohio State plays…

Thursday night college football is back this week to kick off a truly great slate of games. But first, a couple notes on the advanced ratings systems we like to reference: At this point in the season, the Sagarin ratings are better than the SP+ ratings.
