Georgia head coach Kirby Smart noted before the game that his team wanted to " hunt." Frogs were the prey. After failing to win a single national championship since 1980, the Georgia Bulldogs have now won back-to-back titles and finished a spotless 15-0 season in style, thrashing TCU 65-7. They never left a doubt in the domination, ending the…

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.

The Georgia Bulldogs are a college football dynasty. After a beatdown of #3 TCU, Kirby Smart's team has cemented their spot in college football lore. Now, the real challenge begins.

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.

Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Kansas State When: Noon (ESPN) Line: Alabama -6.5 Alabama won't be playing for a national championship this season thanks to its two losses to Tennessee and LSU. Instead, the Tide will play in non-CFP New Year's Six bowl for the first time since 2019. Meanwhile, Kansas State was a pleasant surprise in the Big 12 this season.…

Opt-outs, players entering the transfer portal as well as coaching replacements often wreck havoc on the odds and betting lines for college football bowl games. No matter the factors, bettors should not shy away from investing in the'tail-end' of line movements. Three teams fit each of the angles highlighted above and are worthy of a'Double-Pop'…

No matter what happens over the next few weeks, one thing is abundantly clear. Until further notice, Georgia is the elite team in college football. They are at the top of the mountain. Full stop. For the past decade, Alabama has held onto this honor. There wasn't much debate about that either, although Clemson certainly made things interesting for…

After a sad week in the SEC with the passing of Mississippi State head coach Mike Leach, the conference is now in full preparation ahead of their bowl games. The SEC had the most teams of any conference in college football reach bowl eligibility this season -- including Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia who will play in their respective New Year's Six…

The bowl season is beautiful just the way it is. Sure, college football is a jumbled mess at the moment. The transfer portal, coaching changes and NFL draft have all of us-even those of us who monitor these things for a living-plenty confused. But the matchups are still magnificent, and nothing will ever change that. Before we get to the College…

Pitt defensive tackle Calijah Kancey was named Monday to the Associated Press All-America first team, his third such honor since the end of the regular season.

The end of the 2022 season is a bittersweet moment. While bowls and the College Football Playoff are still on the horizon, our weekdays are quieter and Saturdays aren't as chaotic. But a season's worth of excellent work always deserves recognition, and All-American teams do just that. Bleacher Report's panel of writers-Max Escarpio, David Kenyon,…

The 2022 Heisman Trophy ballots will be counted pretty soon, and the Heisman Trophy winner will be announced in a few days' time. Less than a handful of contenders remain in a race that was pretty wide open for most of this 2022 college football season. For whatever it's worth, all who remain are quarterbacks. Michigan's Blake Corum is out. Ditto…

The team many Alabama football fans were rooting for in the Big 12 conference championship, Kansas State, is the Crimson Tide's next opponent. For Alabama to have any sort of chance to make the College Football Playoff heading into Sunday, it needed TCU to lose. That happened in overtime, but still it wasn't enough to bump the one-loss Horned Frogs…

Meet the new boss, same as the … ah, the heck with it. Alabama enters the latest College Football Playoff as the No. 1 seed the fifth time. When the 2021 Cotton Bowl kicks off Friday afternoon, it will be on the field for a CFP semifinal for the seventh time in the event's eight-year existence. Look and sound familiar? It should. The Crimson Tide,…

Following an offseason that again delivered a taste of conference realignment (USC and UCLA to the Big Ten in the future) and typical college football controversy (Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher going at it over recruiting), time has come to concentrate on what's actually going to happen on the field throughout the 2022 season. There's no better way…

COLUMBIA, Mo. - It's Thanksgiving week, which means it's also Rivalry Week across college football. In the SEC, we've got the Egg Bowl, the Iron Bowl, the Palmetto Bowl, two Governor's Cups, the Florida Cup and the Battle Line Rivalry. We'll get to that last one in another story this week, but for now, let's make some picks on the rest of the SEC…

Alabama can lock up another 10-win season. Auburn is targeting bowl eligibility and a happy ending to a trying season. But this Iron Bowl, more than most in recent memory, is primarily about the year's worth of braggin' rights that comes with a win. Typically, that's enough. The eighth-ranked Crimson Tide (9-2, 5-2 Southeastern Conference, No. 7…

Before we get into the post-college football Week 12 projections, an apology. Last week, we projected the pride of Provo - the BYU Cougars - to face the Utah State Aggies in the Hawaii Bowl. Since the two teams met in late September, this simply cannot happen. Standard bowl season rules apply. We apologize profusely for an error that angered…

After continuously being doubted TCU made a big statement in Primetime at Austin, Texas with a 17-10 victory over the Longhorns. Also, we saw two of the PAC 12's best teams (Oregon and UCLA) fall at home. Lots of talking heads are debating who should be ranked higher. Eye test this, strength of schedule that. The bottom line is, how do we dissect…

The Clemson Tigers are making a strong case for a spot in the College Football Playoff. They are currently perfect with an 8-0 record, including six wins in the ACC. While Syracuse, Wake Forest and NC State can provide some challenges, it is difficult to imagine the ACC Atlantic escaping from the Tigers' grasp. While things looked like they were…

Despite the sport's best attempts to distract us with a summer of talk about transfer portal, realignment, NIL and governance-oh, and some College Football Playoff expansion thrown in for good measure-we have made it to Week 1. It can be difficult at times to remember why we love the sport, but a fun Thursday night to whet the palate should have…

Thanks to last year's game in College Station, the SEC West race in 2022, and some off-the-field barbs, Texas A&M's trip to Alabama for Week 6 of the college football season was circled as a must-see matchup this preseason.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Bryce Young was flinging the ball around and his receivers were delivering big plays, just like during his Heisman Trophy run.
