Changing the CFP Format for the Better

-Kyle Langston @kylelangston49 Baylor, Iowa, Penn State, and Ohio State. What do these teams all have in common? They were each ranked number 5 on selection day by the college football playoff committee since the committee's inception, thus did not have an opportunity to play for the national championship. Every year since the NCAA expanded the CFP field in 2015, fans, coaches, and analysts alike have called for a further expansion. The most popular idea is a switch to an 8 team playoff, which most say should include 5 spots going to conference champions. The only problem is that this leaves just 3 remaining spots between power 5 non-champions, and non-power 5 schools. A better representation of the 130 competing squads would be a 10 team field. Are Power 5 Conference Champions Guaranteed a Spot? It is only fair that this is the case. Last year only five teams in the top 25 were not members of the power 5 conferences (ACC, Big 12, Big ten, Pac-12, SEC). Since these t...

Which BIG XII Teams Benefit Most From the New Redshirt Rule

^ UT C/O '22 5-Star Safety Caden Sterns ^ Kyle Langston @Kylelangston49 What It Is The NCAA announced this offseason that from now on Freshman will be allowed to play in up to four games before their redshirt is burned. Until now any player who took the field for just one play was considered to have lost a year of eligibility. Why It Matters There are two big ways this new rule can benefit coaches. One situation is simply to get your freshman nearly a half season of in game action. While this may not seem all that important, anyone who has played at an elite level will tell you that there is no substitute for in-game reps. Even if these freshman only play in the teams "cupcake" out of conference games, it will give them vital experience to build on going in to their next four years. Another way this redshirt rule can be used is in the case of injuries. If nothing else this allows coaches to sit on some of their best athletes in the likely case a starter g...

Deep in the Heart of Preseason Power Rankings

Kyle Langston @kylelangston49 June 25th, 2018. Sporting News releases their 2018 college football power rankings ahead of the upcoming season. The top of the list highlights the usual suspects including Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, and Ohio State. The rest of the list features some surprises, like placing an unproven Oklahoma team at five. Additionally, positioning the defending national champions (UCF) as low as 16 could merit some backlash. We are here today though, to question why on God's green earth the University of Texas is starting out the season in the top 25...again.  Going back as far as the 2016 season, Sporting News has given the Longhorns a spot in their preseason rankings every year, and every year Texas makes them pay for it. In 2016 Sporting News introduced Texas at the 24th spot in their power rankings. This after a 2015 season in which the Longhorns went 5-7 including an embarrassing 50-7 loss at the hands of TCU. The reason given was that in 2016 ...

Jake Fromm Suffers a Broken Hand

The university of Georgia’s starting quarterback, Jake Fromm, suffered a broken hand following a boating accident on the 4 th of July. Fromm isn’t expected to miss any of the season and still plans on being available to run summer workouts (wearing a splint). Off the field accidents aren’t unfamiliar waters to Fromm as he also made news earlier this summer when he made an unexpected trip to the emergency room to have a fishhook removed from his leg. These freak off the field incidents have some Georgia faithful up in arms about what players do in their free time and quite frankly it isn’t any of their damn business. Crazy accidents like these happen all the time and are simply inevitable; spending time with family on the 4 th of July isn’t a sin. Jake Fromm gives Tim Tebow a run for his money in terms of off the field motives. He is one of the most down to earth kids that has ever came through Athens. I’m honestly surprised he wasn’t off in the Philippines or some other ...

Hottest College Football Girlfriends

College football’s off-season can feel like an eternity at times. The abundance of time and lack of important news leads to shitty headlines and enables non-stories to be relevant. To counter the immensely dull stories the 2018 off-season has provided, I have put together a list of what the people want to see. After hours of extensive Instagram research, I’ve made a top 10 power ranking of the hottest college football girlfriends of the past 5 years.                           10. Jordan  Daigle - Zack Craig (Oklahoma State safety) 9.  Peyton Thomas- Jake Ganus (University of Georgia linebacker)     8.  Jeanne O’Neil – Will Grier (West Virginia University quarterback) 7.  Paige Loren- Shane  Buechele (University of Texas quarterback) (Left) 6.  Ani Sarkisan - Wilton Speight (university of Michigan quarterback   ...
