Very slim pickings this week as far as match-ups between high-ranked teams. Yet, a few remain that could sway conference championships and playoff seeding. Here they are. #9 UCLA vs. #19 USC Other than Ohio State, no team in the

This week brings us number one vs. number five, the oldest rivalry in the South, and a Miami vs. FSU matchup that matters. Other than that, not a whole lot going on here. Let’s break it down! #1 Mississippi State

Once again the CFP committee has spoken, and once again they give us match-ups between closely ranked opponents with postseason implications playing each other in the same week. I did not include Michigan State vs. Ohio State in this breakdown.

Florida State’s comeback over Louisville loudly announced the arrival of Week 10 of the college football season. Several additional games with playoff implications–Auburn-Ole Miss foremost among them–highlight Week 10. Let’s assess the matchups. #3 Auburn vs #4 Ole Miss The

This week we get back down to Earth on the college gridiron. The past two weeks have been crazy with multiple top-5 and top-10 matchups. It was fun while it lasted but this week the “other guys” get the spotlight.

This week brings us a few key matchups in college football. Unlike most other weeks, though, you won’t find these key matchups in the Southeastern Conference. Yeah, Alabama and A&M should be interesting and Arkansas has a great shot at

It was a cacophony of crazy on the college gridiron last week, with upsets as the order of the disordered day. This week will provide some eye-openers, but nothing on last week’s level. This week we find out if the

Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing. This weekend’s college football slate is the best I’ve seen in years. A veritable cornucopia of awesome that will leave us spent, yet asking for more. Given all of the

Not a banner day for college football this Saturday–but it beats the heck out of golf. Saturday’s low-profile slate gives us fewer must-see matchups, but games that can reveal a lot about teams that are going to be competing for

Which CFB preview piece was it last week that told you to watch out for USC on the road against Boston College, Georgia on the road against South Carolina, and Kentucky against Florida? It was this one. So if you

This weekend’s college football slate spotlights shrinking violets, Bermuda Triangles, and purple-necked rage. Oklahoma vs. Tennessee In most walks of life, if someone were to put the moniker “Big Game” in front of your name, it would probably be a

College football brought us quantity in Week 1. There were a ton of games, a ton of really good games, but little in the way of high-ranking teams and arch-rivals facing off. This week is the polar opposite of that.

Golf is a game of unwritten rules. Tend the pin. Don’t let your shadow get in the way of someone else’s putt. Don’t sandbag. And never start your cart engine while another player is swinging. After this most recent episode

Stephen A. Smith has not been suspended. Of course, you’ve all heard that he has. Because normally when your boss gives you a week off, unplanned, especially after you’ve attempted to legitimize spousal battery, it’s because you’re being suspended. ESPN

So, the first half of baseball’s 2014 season went exactly like we predicted, and by that I mean it went absolutely nothing like we predicted. The Nationals have the best and most complete roster in baseball. Yet, as opposed to

The muggy heat of July tells us it’s time for the greatest All-Star game in all of sports. But tough questions, like who have been the stars and who have been the flashlights of baseball’s first half, come with that

We live in a cynical age, an age in which we project and predict based on criteria that include salary caps, mid-level exceptions, biannual exceptions, and even Larry Bird exceptions. We predict what athletes will do based on what other

Moneyball was a great movie. But it had a tragic ending. Billy Beane, the brave protagonist fighting against a world that neither cared for nor understood his ideas, is set upon by an entrenched bureaucracy. Beane hopes against hope to
