Around the time the UCLA Bruins were set to host their Spring Game in early May, most Las Vegas sportsbooks thought they were a fringe bowl team. The Bruins’ regular-season win total opened at O/U 5.5, early money drove the market to O/U 6 and some shops were out to O/U 6.5 by August. Wise guys believed in Bob Chesney. Here we are 10 days before Halloween and the Bruins […]

"Following thoughtful conversations with Coach Locksley, we agreed that a coaching change was in the best interest of Coach Locksley and the Maryland football program," Barry P.

Ole Miss was the 2025 College Football Playoff Cinderella story, but its season easily could have gone the other direction. In Week 3 of the 2025 season, Rebels starting quarterback Austin Simmons sustained a knee injury and backup Trinidad Chambliss was called into action. Chambliss stepped up, leading Ole Miss to 10 wins in its next 11 games and a CFP berth. He then helped the Rebels blow out Tulane […]

Ohio State defeated Indiana in Bloomington last Saturday, getting revenge for the 2025 Big Ten championship game. But the Buckeyes might have bigger problems after starting quarterback Julian Sayin was injured. Sayin — who entered Week 7 tied for fourth with 17 passing touchdowns this season and ranked sixth among FBS quarterbacks with 1,772 passing yards — left the field and went to the locker room with about eight minutes […]

There are quarterback concerns in Austin after Texas suffered a second straight loss to an unranked opponent. After the Longhorns’ 27-24 loss to Florida, concerns have grown about quarterback Arch Manning and his job security as starter. With No. 7 Ole Miss coming to Austin this Saturday, coach Steve Sarkisian is running out of time if he wants to make a change. Three-time national champion coach and Big Noon Kickoff […]

I played offensive line for eight seasons in the NFL, and before that I spent my Saturdays in Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, blocking for guys who ended up on lists like this one. So when I watch college football now, I watch for the stuff that signaled to me in the huddle whether a guy was for real. I'm picking the 10 players who impressed me most during the […]

The opportunity to turn five bucks into six figures doesn’t come around very often. Pretty much never, to be precise. In a wild weekend of college football and NFL betting, a Hard Rock Bet customer recognized that fact and instead settled for turning $5 into more than $30,000. More on that stunning wager, along with a nearly half-million-dollar bet that connected, plus an incredible long-shot NFL parlay that banked more […]

Florida State coach Mike Norvell expressed frustration Monday with the Atlantic Coast Conference officiating crew that oversaw his team’s 43-35 loss at the Miami Hurricanes in double overtime, calling a late holding penalty "an absolute joke." Norvell also questioned the interception that ended the game. Norvell said he spoke with ACC Supervisor of Football Officials Gary Patterson but has not heard "his final review" of the game. On the first […]

The NFL undoubtedly drives the American sports betting bus, but after an outlandish weekend on campus, people are still buzzing about college football Week 7 odds. No. 1 Georgia lost at home as a huge favorite. No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 7 Texas were also laying double digits and tumbled. And No. 6 Alabama was an upset victim, as well.
