There’s nothing like a college football rivalry game. Legacies are made, bragging rights are claimed and memories are created. The experience for all involved is unique, and it’s one of the reasons college football is the greatest sport on the planet. This week’s Red River Rivalry is no different. No. 1 Texas will take on an Oklahoma team still searching for answers on offense, setting the stage for a fascinating […]

Around the NFL, there’s still hesitation around Brock Purdy’s remarkable season. I don’t care. I think he’s QB1. There’s more hesitation around Jalen Hurts than ever. I get it. I still think he and the Philadelphia Eagles will be fine. There’s profound hesitation around Cam Ward. That … is complicated. We’ll get into it. Welcome back to the QB Stock Market. These aren’t your typical QB rankings. I’m focused on […]

We're only a quarter of the way through the 2026 NFL season, but there's already one player who is starting to shine among his peers. As we unveil our All-Star Team for Week 4, a star running back has made his way onto our weekly list for the third time this season. Can you take a guess at who it is? We'll give you a hint: He was a prized […]

There are three teams still unbeaten in the NFL, followed by eight one-loss clubs. But which one is really the best through four weeks of the season? I’ve heard your complaints. I’ve read your comments. And four weeks into the season, I’m ready to admit: You were right. Not about everything. Or even most things. But my loyal readers were right about enough that this week’s Power Rankings contain a […]

Just when you think an NFL season is settling into its groove, the league hits us with a slate like Week 4. Drake Maye shook off weeks of intense criticism and took down the league’s hottest team in Buffalo, throwing the AFC East race into chaos. After beating the Texans, the Cowboys could run away with the NFC East, marking a major vibe shift after the ugly opener. And the […]

The Chicago Bears are 3-1 and have won three games this season with three different starting quarterbacks. With that, Colin Cowherd believes Sunday's performance is the latest piece of evidence of who matters most in Chicago: Head coach Ben Johnson. "It is a quarterback-first league, but the guy who builds the culture is the coach," Cowherd said on Monday's "The Herd." "I think we've discovered in the last two weeks, […]

Kyle Larson potentially could have put a huge gap between himself and the rest of the Chase field with a win, but Chase Briscoe was able to hold him off Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The defending Cup champion certainly remains, though, the definitive Chase favorite halfway through the 10-race postseason. Here are my championship contender rankings going into the Charlotte oval race this weekend. On the verge (in […]

In college football, there’s a tendency to anoint teams far too early in the season. A couple of impressive wins can quickly turn a program into a title favorite in the eyes of pundits and fans. But the reality is, we often don’t know how good anyone truly is until much later in the season after more challenging tests. Take Iowa, Florida and Mississippi State, for example. All three picked […]

We're down to three unbeaten teams in the NFL, and those teams sit atop my rankings this week. The Las Vegas Raiders and Buffalo Bills suffered their first defeat of the season and fell, but the No. 2 team didn't slide straight into the top spot that Buffalo occupied last week. Instead, another jumped three spots to No. 1 after an impressive victory. Here's where things stand after NFL Week […]
