It’s over as far as winning the AFC East. It might well be over as far as making the playoffs goes as well. Here’s a look at why the New York Jets never got off the ground.
Oklahoma State will play a football game in Stillwater on Saturday against Arizona State. And, as everyone expected, the game means bowl eligibility for one of the two teams.
As nobody expected: that team is Arizona State.
Last year, Florida State was riding Florida State seemed to have all the pieces in place to make another run. Instead, it’s been one failure after another in Tallahassee.
It’s October, and there’s an excitement in the air in Bloomington, Indiana.
Nothing new for this place. October’s always a time for excitement in Indiana, because it means the start of basketball practice. Hoosier Hysteria is real, and the season is just a month away. Except there’s one difference: this excitement has absolutely nothing to do with basketball.
Losing to Nebraska, on its own, is no shame. But it’s how Colorado lost. The Buffaloes were never in the game. And Deion is now 2-9 in his past 11 games at Colorado after losing to a team the Buffaloes beat by 22 last year.
The FCS is often overlooked, but it shouldn’t be. It’s one of the best ways to make money if you know these teams well, because Vegas just doesn’t care about these games.
The Sun Belt is the most balanced G5 conference, as there’s no truly dominant teams and only one doormat. That makes this a wide-open race with plenty of value.
In a world where almost everything changes, the MAC has been the picture of stability. The conference retains the same 12 teams it has had for years, as well as its original mindset.
What’s most likely is that Boise State will flirt with the College Football Playoff’s Group of 5 bid and New Mexico will flirt with a winless season. Anything between that is up for grabs.
