Winning a national title in college football is hard, just ask the Tennessee Volunteers, they haven’t done it this century. However, the expectations are quite different in Tuscaloosa, Alabama as anything short of an SEC Championship and national title berth tends to be considered a disappointing season.
Despite the lofty expectations and the intimidation of replacing the greatest of all time, Nick Saban, new head coach Kalen Deboer is taking it all in stride. After all, he has already been to a national title in just four years as an FBS head coach. Now, add in the resources that Alabama and...

Austin, TX

The Texas Longhorns once again crack the Top 5 of a preseason analyst’s poll. On3 Sports’ Andy Staples has the Longhorns as the No. 5 team in college football.
As the only 2023 playoff team that returns its head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator and starting quarterback the ranking is warranted. Texas enters its third year with all four as well as several multi-year starters on the offensive line. That’s stability.
Staples’ ranking of Texas doesn’t preclude the Longhorns from competing for a national title. He has stated that at its peak, the team could win it all this season. There just...

Arkansas State

Fayetteville, AR

The ups and downs and overall grind of an SEC baseball regular season have taken their toll on every team.
Through it all, Arkansas (43-12 overall, 20-10 conference) has remained near the top of polls and has survived all the ebbs and flows. The Diamond Hogs are ranked fifth in this week’s USA TODAY Sports baseball coaches poll.
As such, Arkansas is considered a safe bet to finish as a top eight national seed for the 2024 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament with Selection Monday less than a week away on March 27. That’s when the final Field of 64 will be...

Massachusetts State

Ann Arbor, MI

When Eamonn Dennis committed, the idea was that he would be an inverse carbon copy of Mike Sainristil.
Both players hailed from Massachusetts, were three-stars, who played both ways. Sainristil started as a wide receiver while Dennis was a defensive back. Then, Sainristil switched to defensive back and Dennis switched to receiver. The latter had unparalleled speed but never cracked the two-deep or became a crucial player on special teams.
As Sainristil moved on to the NFL, Dennis ultimately also chose a change of scenery, albeit through the transfer portal. And on Tuesday, he announced that he’s committed to the Ohio Bobcats.
