The woman who accused former Auburn Tigers running back Jovon Robinson of domestic violence has recanted her statement, James Crepea of AL.com reported Thursday. Per Crepea, the woman told officials at Auburn University that she lied about the incident.  Robinson was dismissed from Auburn's football program in August. "He did not meet my standards or expectations of what it takes to be an Auburn Tiger football player," head coach Gus Malzahn said at the time, per Crepea. On Aug. 5, Crepea reported Robinson's dismissal was due to ...

Les Miles earned the nickname of The Mad Hatter early in his LSU career for taking risks, calling fake punts and field goals and going for it consistently on fourth down with games on the line. Later in his career, that moniker signifies his ability to try the same things over and over again while expecting different results. But unfortunately for the Tigers, the results aren't different. The archaic LSU offense was held in check in a season-opening ...

After the best opening weekend in college football history, Week 2 will hit you this weekend with a resounding "thud." Four SEC teams play teams outside the FBS (as opposed to zero last weekend), the only two conference matchups feature Kentucky (vs. Florida), South Carolina and Mississippi State, and while TCU and Virginia Tech are solid out-of-conference opponents for Arkansas and Tennessee, respectively, Week 2 pales in comparison to the docket over Labor Day weekend. Buy while ...

The Pac-12 Conference had a rough opening week of the 2016 season, going a collective 6-5 with each loss standing out in a different way. Oregon State and UCLA lost road games by seven apiece at power-conference opponents, falling to Minnesota and Texas A&M, respectively. Arizona and USC dropped challenging neutral-site games to tough foes, with the Wildcats losing to BYU in Glendale, Arizona, on a last-second field goal and the Trojans getting crushed by defending ...

The numerous high-profile matchups that dominated the opening week of the 2016 college football season are in the books, and Week 2 gives way to a slate that pales in comparison to it. Gone are the ranked meetings featuring heavyweights from different power-five conferences doing battle against one another. Instead, most Top-25 programs will face either group of five teams or FCS foes. Despite the lack of marquee matchups, the weekend still represents an opportunity for numerous ...

With Villanova the clear favorite to win its fourth consecutive regular-season title, the Wildcats also have two of the four players most likely to be named 2016-17 Big East Player of the Year. The Big East has come a long way since the big split during the 2013 offseason that left the conference a shell of its former self, and there are a ton of legitimate candidates for conference POY. Like Villanova, Xavier has a pair ...

The first week of the 2016 college football did anything but disappoint. Alabama issued USC a historic beatdown, Texas is back, and LSU might be rethinking that whole "bringing Les Miles back" thing. Oh, and Houston is suddenly an early favorite for a playoff spot. Everything is topsy-turvy and upside down, which is perhaps more of a playoff product than anything. Week 1 used to be filled with favorites playing glorified exhibition games against cupcakes hoping to get squashed ...

It might only be two weeks into the season, but the college football world has already seen a seismic shift.  Week 1 was considered the most loaded opening weekend of college football in history, and it didn't disappoint.  The shake-up can be seen clearly in the latest AP and Amway Coaches polls. Houston is now a unanimous Top 10 team after defeating Oklahoma in Week 1. Wisconsin shot all the way up from the unranked to No. ...

The first week of the 2016 college football season may go down as the best ever, at least as far as opening slates go. Seven ranked teams fell, quality matchups lived up to their hype and the action was nonstop over a five-day span. The Week 2 lineup? Eh, not so much. But it still has its share of worthwhile games. There aren't any matchups of Top 25 teams, but there are some notable conference clashes on ...
