Both Minnesota and Syracuse got off to hot starts this season, and they will look to finish the year strong in the Pinstripe Bowl. Minnesota started the season with four wins before a three-game losing streak in October set it back, but the Gophers recovered to win four of their last five games (the lone loss was 13-10 vs. Iowa) to finish the…

In just a few days, No. 6 Tennessee plays No. 10 Clemson in the Vols' first New Year's Day bowl since the 2016 Outback Bowl. The two teams haven't faced off since 2004 when the Tommy Bowden coached the Tigers to a 27-14 win against a Phil Fulmer led, Casey Clausen quarterbacked Tennessee squad in the Peach Bowl. Given that these teams rarely play…

We're heading into the second week of college football's bowl season. It's hard to break down 43 games in depth, so here are some quick-hit thoughts on a few of the more noteworthy ones: • Considering last weekend's New Mexico Bowl featured BYU vs. SMU in ABQ, it should have been called the Acronym Bowl. • No disrespect to either team, but seeing…

A few quick words for college football betting fans that have grown too cynical this time of year - Shut up. Stop complaining. There's no such thing as too many bowl games. This is our time to lose track of the days and bet on whatever matchup is on at 2 p.m. on a given afternoon, and some of us happen to like it. Also, try telling Kansas that the…

The Columbia Tribune is feeling like a failure. Despite constant pleas throughout the football season for fans to exercise better judgement and not fall into the illegal trap of wagering on Missouri games, we keep hearing of fans doing so.

In the wake of Mike Leach's death on Dec. 13, the Mississippi State football team decided to play in the ReliaQuest Bowl against Illinois on Jan. 2.

The 2022 version of college football free agency arrived Monday, which was the first of a 45-day period in which players can submit their names into the NCAA transfer portal. There will still be plenty of movement over the next month and a half, with some decisions likely to be made after bowl season concludes. But through just 2 days, there's…

A big bowl season awaits the Big Ten. There will be a minimum of 9 B1G bowl games this postseason, with Michigan and Ohio State both earning the opportunity to play in a 10th for the national championship. The Big Ten's first year with 2 teams in the College Football Playoff has a trickle-down effect on the rest of the conference's bowl bids.…

We've made it to the end of the 2022 college football regular season. If you've been following along with our staff picks, you know that Alan Cole has pretty much gone wire-to-wire in the straight-up category. He also led in our against-the-spread picks, but a thoroughbred-like charge on the final turn has seen staff writer Perry McCarty take a…

To say Texas A&M threw a wrench into LSU's postseason plans with Saturday's 38-23 victory over the Tigers would be a gross understatement. Throwing a whole tool set into the Tigers' plans is more like it. The loss sent LSU tumbling out of College Football Playoff contention, from No. 5 in last week's rankings to No. 14 Tuesday. That also reduced…

Two games in the Big Ten have shaken up the New Year's Six projections this week. The big one was Michigan State coming from behind to beat Michigan in East Lansing as a four-point underdog, according to William Hill Sportsbook. The Spartans knocked the Wolverines out of the New Year's Six projections and themselves move up to the No. 6 position in…

As exciting as the latest Alabama-Georgia game was in Saturday's SEC championship game, we still don't know which team will win this season's national championship. We do, however, know the College Football Playoff semifinal matchups - and the betting lines for those matchups. In fact, we know the opening lines for more than 40 college football…

The 2021 Big Ten season will be one to remember, especially for Michigan fans. There was plenty of success to go around, though, with the Buckeyes and Spartans earning New Year's Six bids and the West division champion Hawkeyes ending with a 10-3 record. As a result, nine different members will take part in bowls against at least one school from…

The Illini, who finished with an 8-4 record this season, will not play in the Big Ten championship game after Purdue was able to beat Indiana over…

FAYETTEVILLE - Arkansas football had a chance to better its bowl standing last week with a win over Missouri. Instead, the Razorbacks lost, giving the Tigers their sixth win and bowl eligibility while remaining at six wins themselves. Arkansas (6-6) will play in a bowl for a second straight year. Arkansas won the Outback Bowl - now called the…

Conventional wisdom dictates that the upcoming Big Ten championship game is a heck of a lot more meaningful for Michigan than Purdue. The unbeaten Wolverines are looking to clinch a College Football Playoff berth. The 8-4 Boilermakers are there because West Lafayette is just west enough of Bloomington to be included in the right division. Purdue…

Iowa Hawkeyes punters Tory Taylor (9) and Ryan Gersonde (2) carry the Heroes Trophy after winning against Nebraska at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb., on Friday, Nov. 26, 2021.

Gator Bowl: Wake Forest (10-3) vs. Rutgers (5-7), Dec. 31, 11 a.m. ET Initially slated for a showdown with Texas A&M, Wake Forest is instead taking on Rutgers in Jacksonville. It's certainly a lopsided matchup given Rutgers hasn't scored more than 20 points in nine of its games this season. Wake Forest, conversely, has racked up 35-plus points 11…

Perhaps it's the hectic nature of the holidays - the festivities, tending to the Christmas lists, the Egg Nog(!) - or all the emphasis on NFL playoff scenarios. But in comparison to March Madness, which draws an estimated 40 million Americans to bet upward of $9 billion, the college bowl pool gets undeservedly lost in the shuffle. It isn't right.…

This looked like it might have been Arkansas's year, but after Sam Pittman took this team to an Outback Bowl a year ago, they might be happy just making a bowl game without three more clearly winnable games on their schedule. BYU also seemed like they were putting something together, but last week's loss to Notre Dame was certainly a setback. Can…

Since 2010, Badger men's basketball and football have a combined win percentage of.708, which is the 5th highest in all of NCAA Division 1. Though neither team has won a national championship recently, they have…

It is crazy to think that we are almost a month into the season already. While some teams are still facing weaker teams from weaker conferences (oh no, Georgia versus Kent State), others begin conference play. Will the Arkansas-Texas A&M game show an SEC capable of competing against Alabama and Georgia? Can Wisconsin surprise Ohio State on the…

The loss still stings for returning Indiana players,…
