by Zak Drapeau 11/14/2025 Sportz Nation Several huge CFB games with massive Playoff implications will take place on Saturday and none will be bigger than the Longhorns-Bulldogs game in Athens. BCS Rankings of #10 and #5 respectively, both teams are currently Top-5 of the SEC conference standings as well, meaning the loser will be out of the race for the Conference Championship as well. This game should be a battle of two of the best defenses in the nation. Georgia's defense

Graphic by ESPN College Football via Youtube.com Both teams have opposite auras this season if you will.

by Zak Drapeau 10/24/2025 Sportz Nation Game Preview While College Gameday will be in Nashville for the Missouri@Vandy game, the real showdown will be between Ole Miss and Oklahoma. Both teams have lost and fell down the polls in the last two weeks which means the loser of this game will have a LONG way to go to make it to the CFB Playoffs at the end of the season. With both teams being 6-1 at this point in the season, Oklahoma will be the favorites in this game having one o

by Zak Drapeau 10/12/2025 Sportz Nation Graphic by NFL Welcome To My First NFL Mock Draft of the 2025-26 Season. I will keep this header brief but I want to give a few notes about this exercise and about the class as a whole: Draft Class Notes 1. This draft class is not very good especially in the top end. 2. This Quarterback class is not good compared to years prior. With no one running away with a QB1 ranking, watch for the first non-QB #1 selection since Travon Walker in

by Zak Drapeau 10/17/2025 Sportz Nation So the common pick for "Game of the Week" for Week 8 is either College Gameday's pick of Ole Miss at Georgia or Tennessee at Alabama . Since coverage of those two games will be abundant all week, I've decided to give light to what I would consider will be the most competitive game of the week, Washington at Michigan . A battle of Big 10 teams who need this win to keep playoff-hopes alive, this game will have an insane atmosphere in An
