Happy New Year everyone! And what better way to kick off 2018 than by making some predictions for the College Football Playoff? There are a lot of great games on today, but all eyes will be on the battle for the right to play for the National Championship. Myself, as well as fellow N2K writers…

Can Boston College Make A Surprise Run in the ACC?
Last Saturday, the Boston College Eagles picked up what might be their most signature win in the last four years, beating #1 Duke 89-84. Currently, the Eagles are 8-3 after winning only nine games a year ago. They had two conference wins in the 2016 season, against Syracuse and North Carolina State. While the Eagles…
The Curious Case of Vanderbilt’s 2018 Recruiting Class
The conference standings for the SEC are starting to clear up early in the season, with teams like 8. Kentucky, 9. Texas A&M and 20. Tennessee remaining at or near the top of the conference. What’s most impressive is that all but one team is at least .500 through about nine or ten games, which…
How Army Can Repeat Over Navy
This week, there’s only one college football game on Saturday, and it’s one of the greatest rivalries in collegiate sports. Army-Navy will do battle on the gridiron for the 118th time. After losing like a billion straight games, it was the Black Knights last year who were able to come out victorious, by a score…
What do we make of Florida’s recent stretch?
Early on, Florida looked like they were going to be the best team in the SEC. They started off 5-0, scoring at least 108 points in four of those contests. They had the appearance of a team that was set to be one of the five best in college basketball all year. Then they ran…
Early Season SEC Basketball Update
Now that we’ve arrived at Bowl season for college football, it’s time to start thinking about basketball again. A lot has happened in the early going – a major player suffering a significant injury, a big blue underperforming, and even a game of 3-on-5. I’m just going to give a few of the bigger storylines…
Can Anyone Take Down Duke in the ACC?
Through the first three weeks of the NCAA season, the Duke Blue Devils have established themselves as the favorites to win the National Championship. It’s only early December, but Duke already has wins over Michigan State, Texas, Florida and a true road victory over Indiana. Marvin Bagley has proven that he belongs in the top…
Big Ten Season Review
Its officially bowl season now in the college football landscape as the committee has made their decisions and the bowls have selected their participants. Alabama secured the final spot in the college football playoff after spending the week at home. Many people agree that the committee got it right but I still disagree. As I…
Previewing the ACC Championship Game
On Saturday, the Clemson Tigers and the Miami Hurricanes will play for a chance at an ACC Title, and a likely berth in the College Football Playoff. Miami has come out of nowhere to be on the brink of their first bid into the playoff, while Clemson has lived up to their billing, and currently…
Who Should You Root for in Saturday’s SEC Championship Game?
It’s Championship Weekend in college football, and the SEC has a particularly intriguing matchup between 6. Georgia and 2. Auburn. I’m not going to get into the numbers and who has the edge in this one – there are plenty of locations to find the numbers that separate each team. Instead, I’m going to approach…
My Projected College Football Playoff
As the Independents are obviously done this week, save for Army (whose matchup with Navy I’ll give my thoughts on later next week), I’m looking for something to rant about. Since ND shot themselves in the foot twice this year and finds themselves out of the playoff picture, I’ll take a look at the other…
