The committee got it right. If Penn State fans should have a complaint, it shouldn’t be that their team was left out — it should be about the opponent their team played in the Big Ten’s championship game Saturday. Two teams finished with 8-1 records this year in the Big Ten: Ohio State and Penn State. Logic

I’m going to start my column like you might expect an eighth-grade term paper to start: F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of one of the greatest books of all time, once said, “The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain

To say that this college football season has had a few surprises so far is an understatement. Major upsets and countless near-upsets have left us without a clear front-runner for the national title and a wide-open playoff hunt. Off-the-field stories at Rutgers and USC have only added to the shocks. But yesterday, we may have

For some weird reason, Ohio State is the No. 1 team in the country on polls conducted during the 2015 season. Why?

Notre Dame faced a jam in the top of the ninth Sunday, with two Florida State runners on base and just one out. A sweep of the nation’s No. 8 team was on the line, but Mik Aoki wasn’t nervous. “I think I’m beyond that with this group,” the Notre Dame head coach said. “I just

Preparing for what could potentially be a season-defining performance, Notre Dame is set to travel to Fayetteville, Arkansas this weekend, where it will face a daunting field in the Razorback Invitational. The Irish has faced increasingly stiff competition as its season progressed, and the upcoming Invitational is posed to continue this trend. The meet boasts a field

A fiery red-headed boy, dressed in Notre Dame gear ran up to Cody Riggs outside the Main Building on Wednesday afternoon and yelled, “High five!” With his hand extended above his head, he leapt to meet the hand of the chuckling graduate student cornerback. “It’s a lot of fun,” Riggs said. “So many young fans

The only thing we seemed to learn from Week Four of college football is that we don’t really know much about college football this year. Which teams will make this year’s inaugural four-team College Football Playoff? Well, we don’t exactly have a clear picture through the quarter point of the season for most teams. In
