The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be desperate to end a two-game straight-up home losing streak on Saturday night when they host the struggling Stanford Cardinal. It is tough to fault Notre Dame for its 10-3 loss in the driving rain at North Carolina State last weekend, but that defeat extended the squad's current run of futility to 2-6 SU, which started with a heartbreaking 38-36 loss at Stanford in last year's regular-season finale. The Cardinal have ...

The Wisconsin Badgers (4-1) played the Michigan Wolverines close on the road before their bye week and return home to host the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes (5-0) on Saturday as big underdogs. The Badgers beat the number as 12-point road dogs in a 14-7 loss to the Wolverines but have lost the past four meetings with the Buckeyes straight up and against the spread.        Point spread: The Buckeyes opened as 9.5-point favorites, according to ...

The North Carolina Tar Heels will try to stay undefeated on the road this season when they travel to Miami on Saturday afternoon to battle the Hurricanes. The Tar Heels were held to single digits for the first time in two years in last week's 34-3 loss to Virginia Tech as three-point home underdogs. However, UNC has played some of its best ball on the road, including a 37-35 Week 5 win at Florida State as ...

The top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (6-0) are listed as big road favorites against the Tennessee Volunteers (5-1) on Saturday as they attempt to win for the 10th consecutive time in the series. The Vols are coming off their first loss of the season, as a comeback attempt fell short for them in a 45-38 double-overtime loss to the Texas A&M Aggies as 7.5-point road underdogs.                Point spread: The Crimson Tide ...

The Ole Miss Rebels are well rested following a bye last week, and they will be gunning for a third straight outright victory as they travel to Fayetteville to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Rebels' current straight-up run has lifted them to 3-2 on the season, a record matched at the sportsbooks following the team's three straight against-the-spread victories. Mississippi fell 45-34 to Florida State as 4.5-point underdogs in its only previous road game this ...

With all due respect to Boise State and Western Michigan on their respective quests for an undefeated season, Houston's Week 6 loss to Navy all but ensured there will once again be no "Group of Five" representative in the College Football Playoff. In addition to the Cougars blowing their chance to crash the party, the top five teams in the country put on a magnificent display of dominance, winning their games (four of them on the ...

We've reached mid-October, and finding Power Five teams with unblemished records is becoming more challenging by the week. Clemson is the only undefeated team left in the ACC. Baylor and West Virginia are carrying the torch for the Big 12. Michigan, Ohio State and Nebraska are holding serve in the Big Ten. Washington is rolling through the Pac-12, and Alabama and Texas A&M are the two standing in the SEC. They all have clear paths to the ...

Jim Harbaugh thought he was being pranked on the phone. "Come on," Harbaugh said. "Come on! Who is this, really?" "This is Michael Jordan," the caller repeated. Last summer, the greatest basketball player of all time was calling to propose a business opportunity that the second-year Michigan head coach couldn't refuse: for the Wolverines "to be the first and only football school, program, in the world to be Jordan," Harbaugh said, according to Adam Schnepp of MGoBlog. Harbaugh recalled ...

Tennessee already has broken one streak this year as it snapped an 11-year run of futility against Florida. Now, the Volunteers will have a little tougher test to end the second one. The No. 1-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide will travel to Neyland Stadium to take on a battered and beaten Vols team coming off its first loss of the season in double overtime at Texas A&M. If the first part of the season is any indication, ...

The SEC made the wise decision postponing the LSU-Florida game—which was originally scheduled for Oct. 8—due to the threat of Hurricane Matthew, a deadly major hurricane that lashed the East Coast late last week. After all, the logistics that go into holding a major college football game—which include police, fire, rescue—either could have been needed locally in Gainesville, or in communities closer to the coast where several communities sustained heavy wind and flood damage. What's more, ...
