It was another fun weekend for Notre Dame to sit back and watch some carnage. Three teams fell from the ranks of the unbeaten re-shaping the 12-team playoff picture as the first rankings from the committee are set to come out this Tuesday evening. Here's the latest 18 Stripes Top 20 Poll: 18 Stripes Top [...]

We don't have a whole lot going on in the Big 12 this weekend but some important games are taking place in the other 3 power conferences. We'll also see Boise State put to the test on Friday in a game that could be a bit tricky. First, a quick look at last week's bets: [...]

We are 52 days away from the first game of the new 12-team College Football Playoff kicking off on ABC on a primetime Friday 8:00 PM ET time slot. We are only a week away from the first College Football Playoff top 25 rankings being released next week on Tuesday, November 5th at 7 PM [...]

Week 9 was marked largely by comfortable wins and blowouts throughout the nation, although don't tell that to Texas, Kansas State, Ohio State, Boise State, and SMU. With Halloween coming this week we are leaving October behind and gearing up for the final month of the 2024 college football season. Here's the latest 18 Stripes [...]

Any fears of a tight game against the undefeated Naval Academy quickly dissipated on Saturday afternoon. In front of a crowd of over 76,000 in MetLife Stadium, the Fighting Irish built an early lead and then sealed a blowout after buckets of turnovers and mistakes doomed the Midshipmen for their first loss in 2024. Let's [...]

Michigan lost last week so it's always a terrific time of year when we pair that with a Notre Dame victory. Coming up this week we have an early ACC game to watch, a Mountain West showdown late on Friday, plus more Big Ten and SEC action on Saturday before the Big 12 sends us [...]

The carnage in the SEC is in full swing now as every team in the league has suffered at least 1 loss. Oregon looks on with a smile as the Ducks move up into the top spot of the 18S rankings. After 8 weeks of college football, we have 10 undefeated teams remaining across [...]

Notre Dame trailed 7-0 after the 1st quarter and was on the back foot early against Georgia Tech. A strong 2nd quarter tilted the advantage towards the Irish and from there the game was largely in cruise control for the white-panted Notre Dame team at a neutral site home game for the Yellow Jackets. Now [...]

Last week we saw a major battle in the Big Ten and this weekend it'll be the SEC's turn. Our number one must-watch game of 2024 from our pre-season happens on Saturday as Georgia visits Austin. Is it a possible preview of the National Championship Game? 2024 Betting Record ATS: 28-31-1 SU: 39-21-0 I went [...]

We are inching closer to the playoffs as a couple teams crucially lost their 2nd game of the season this weekend. It's not impossible to come back from such a deficit in 2024 but it won't be easy. Largely, this past week was one where favorites ended up taking care of business, though. Some did [...]

It was late in the 1st quarter and Stanford led 7-0 in one of those "here we go again" moments for Notre Dame football. The mood increased quickly as the Irish eventually pulled away from the Cardinal and put to rest any notion that this would be a competitive matchup. Following a weather delay for [...]

With the first bye week behind us, it's time to preview this Saturday's clash between Notre Dame and the Cardinal of Stanford. Traditionally a spunky program capable of tremendous peaks and valleys, it has now been over half a decade of struggles for this once-proud team. They are currently #86 in the latest FEI rankings [...]

The recent Blood Week for several college football teams left an impression and it started out looking like the week 6 picks were going to be dead and buried too. I ended up recovering and doing okay. This week, we've got one heck of a lineup in the afternoon and into the night. Buckle up. [...]
