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

After just two weeks of college football, we’ve experienced countless jaw-dropping plays, a couple of critical upsets and a few players that have left the rest of the college football world wondering whether or not they’re even human. It is really early in the season, but it’s never too early to start looking at who
