A new era of college football is finally upon us. Last night, the selection committee handed down its rankings from on high. Now, instead of complaining between who’s No. 2 and No. 3 we can complain about who’s No. 4 and No. 5. In a way, there’s a new paradigm in college football and, in another way, nothing has changed a bit.
Returning the entirety of a Final Four team save one high-volume shooter in guard Ben Brust, you wouldn’t blame head coach Bo Ryan for changing as little as possible with his team.

Finally, it’s the moment we have all been waiting for, the first edition of Shad’s College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings of the season.

In the team’s most complete effort of the season, Wisconsin thoroughly dominated Maryland in a 52-7 victory Saturday at Camp Randall.
An unusual feeling came across the UW men's soccer squad Wednesday night.
Although they seemed finished just one month ago, Melvin Gordon’s Heisman Trophy chances have rebounded as the running back has emerged as a legitimate contender for college football’s most prestigious award.
As teams across the country enter the second half of their schedules, there might be more questions now than there were at the beginning of the season. Races for several conference titles and the Heisman Trophy remain wide open, and the College Football Playoff picture is still very much unclear thanks to a logjam in the SEC West. Here are some of the biggest games to watch this week as the college football season enters its home stretch.
It was a fairly calm week in the Big Ten with four teams on byes.
