What the College Football Playoff committee got right and wrong
By Kyle Kensing, Field Level Media After falling one play short of winning last season's College Football Playoff, The U is back atop the first rankings of 2026. Getting past a trip to No. 11 Notre Dame this week would position No. 1 Miami nicely to head into the CFP tournament as the top seed -- at least in theory.
Analysis | What the College Football Playoff committee got right and wrong
After falling one play short of winning last season’s College Football Playoff, The U is back atop the first rankings of 2026. Getting past a trip to No. 11 Notre Dame this week would position No. 1 Miami nicely to head into the CFP tournament as the top seed -- at least in theory. The Hurricanes barely escaping Atlantic Coast Conference matchups with Florida State and North Carolina in recent weeks serves as a reminder that anything can shake up the playoff picture.
Lincoln Riley’s USC Tenure Faces a Defining Moment Against Ohio State
In case the barrage of advertisements during any college football broadcast weren’t reminder enough, we are in the stretch run of political campaign season. That may explain why Lincoln Riley’s comments on Tuesday, ahead of Southern California’s pivotal Big Ten Conference matchup with No. 2-ranked Ohio State, rang with the twinge of desperation often reserved for a candidate well behind in the polls. “This is the right place for me.
Why Expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 Teams Is a Bad Idea
At a time of decisiveness for the United States, credit college football for introducing a plan that can bring some solidarity to our society. Regardless if you support a program representing the Big Ten, SEC, or any of the eight conferences subject to the Power Two’s whims, everyone can agree expansion of the College Football Playoff to 24 teams is an awful idea. Use of the term everyone is rhetorical in this context; no idea is ever universally praised nor universally reviled.
BYU Delivered a Win That Could Shake Up the College Football Playoff
For anyone else who feels like they are living in 1984, you are not alone. The following has nothing to do with Flock cameras or newspeak or anything else that may have the late George Orwell turning in his grave — though, it should be noted, no one ever got this thoughts on a 24-team College Football Playoff. For our purposes here, allusion to 1984 comes from eighth-ranked BYU’s 28-24 defeat of No. 2-ranked Notre Dame on Saturday.
The Swamp Is Back, and Ole Miss Found Out the Hard Way
Past generations discovered that nowhere in the Sunshine State was more treacherous to outsiders than The Swamp, and Saturday offered a reminder of why. The dangers lurking around every corner of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium went dormant for most of the last 15 years, but not extinct. Fourth-ranked Ole Miss discovered that the hard way, denied even a full week to enjoy its karmic defeat of Lane Kiffin and LSU until Saturday’s 52-28 rout.
Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss Return Is About to Get Very Ugly
Tigers Head Coach Lane Kiffin, LSU Tigers take on the LA Tech Bulldogs. September 12, 2026; Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA; at Tiger Stadium. In a declaration as revelatory as water is wet, Lane Kiffin conceded in his Week 3 press conference that “a lot’s going to be made about me.” Typically, college football fans have to wait until Thanksgiving weekend to get matchups with the kind of venom likely to be evident between LSU and Ole Miss.
USD beats San Diego State in city’s college soccer rivalry
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... The University of San Diego ninth-ranked men’s soccer team dominated Sunday’s showdown with San Diego State, but it was the brief, late-match lapse that loomed over Torero Stadium following Sunday night’s 2-1 Toreros win. “We’ve stressed in the last couple of weeks, we want to be in a position where we invite teams upon us in the last 10 minutes,” USD coach Brian Quinn said.
Arch Manning Finally Gets His Ohio State Redemption
Slow to start, strong to finish describes Arch Manning both in the 2025 season, and for the definitive win in his Longhorns career to date. As Texas went into halftime of its showdown with No. 1-ranked Ohio State trailing 20-3, one could almost hear the sound of a thousand keyboards clacking away at the eulogy. Overrated. Overhyped. And that Heisman Trophy campaign? Just plain over after another anemic performance against the Buckeyes.

‘People’s Park’ to host Oceanside’s Grass League tour stop Original
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Nestled between Interstate 5 and Oceanside Boulevard, the par-3 golf course Goat Hill Park seems an unlikely destination for a professional tour stop. But what makes “The People’s Park” an unusual location for most professional golf events makes Goat Hill ideal for Grass League.

Analysis | Top Heisman Trophy candidate in every FBS conference
No individual award in major American sports invokes more nostalgia than the Heisman Trophy. Beyond recognizing the best player in college football -- OK, let’s be honest: the best skill-position player in college football - the Heisman captures the essence of a season. Name a year in recent memory, and the story of the season is often reflected in the Heisman recipient: Johnny Manziel introducing the spread-offense revolution to the Southeastern Conference in 2012.

Can Lincoln Riley Finally Lead USC to the College Football Playoff in 2026?
Like the melodies of “I Got You Babe” blaring from Phil Connors’ alarm clock every morning at 6 a.m., with August comes the familiar refrain that USC is poised to contend for the College Football Playoff. And, like Bill Murray’s character, the conclusion of Thanksgiving weekend begins another Groundhog’s Day for the Trojans.
Why 2026 Could Feel Like a Throwback Season for College Football Quarterbacks
Big Ten returning quarterbacks headline an old-school class of familiar stars in 2026 With as profoundly as college football’s makeup has changed in the last half-decade, the sport’s longtime fans should take comfort in the 2026 season offering some familiarity in collection of established stars returning at quarterback.

Indiana's Schedule Proves College Football Has a Real Playoff Problem
Days after Indiana head coach Curt Cignetti proclaimed the Big Ten college football’s “best league” and touted that its members “don’t cry a river, whine and complain,” the Hoosiers dropped a planned non-conference series with in-state counterpart Notre Dame. The Indiana athletic department’s decision may also be a harbinger of an unfortunate direction for the entire sport.

Why Miami Football Is Poised to Return to College Football's Elite
Miami football isn’t back yet, but it’s close Plenty of discussion last winter was reserved for dissecting if the Miami Hurricanes were, in fact, back. For as the much of The U being back has been a topic, predating the 2025 Hurricanes’ run to the National Championship Game, what being back actually means can have vastly different definitions.
Kyle Whittingham Could Finally Win A National Title At Michigan
Somewhat obscured in a college football offseason marred with misbehavior, one of the sport’s least controversial figures is poised to headline an intriguing story.

Texas Tech's Opponents Should Refuse to Play Brendan Sorsby
A temporary injunction grants Cincinnati transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby eligibility to play at Texas Tech in 2026 — but only if the Red Raiders have opponents willing to take the field. With visiting District Court Judge Ken Curry’s June 8 ruling, on the grounds that Sorsby successfully demonstrated an NCAA ban for gambling will cause the quarterback to “suffer a probable, imminent, and irreparable injury,” college football stands at a Rubicon.
