So with one month's worth of games in the rearview mirror, the time has come to start projecting the matchups of every bowl game that will take place ...

After a weekend that featured a bunch of games between ranked opponents, there was a lot of shakeup in the Top 25. The very best in college football remained steady at the top of the rankings thanks to relatively easy wins from the top six from the previous week. There were big changes after that, though, with Michigan State, LSU, Georgia and others seeing big drops. Here is a look at the latest rankings from the major ...

The first weekend of October should bring plenty of excitement, as several ranked opponents are set to square off in a slate that will have conference and national championship implications.

It's been so long since games were played it's hard to remember who's graduated or turned pro and who's coming back, not to mention if any of them have changed teams thanks to transfer loopholes. And then there are the new additions, many of whom will be instantly successful (before quickly leaving for the pros). It's basically just one big pile ...

He tried his best to keep everyone in the fold, a family a breath away at a moment’s notice because of that hollow, haunting feeling of five years ago. Then Smacker left to swim at Texas.

Saturday night, one second ended the Les Miles era at LSU. On ...

LSU vice chancellor and director of athletics Joe Alleva provided a statement on the decision, via Michael Bonnette of the official website of LSU athletics: Decisions like this are never easy ones to make.
