This is an all-time bowl game picture

Each month throughout the offseason I write a recap article of the past month’s notable College Football news. If you take a step back from CFB during the offseason but still want to stay informed, check out the April recap below 🗞️ cfbkings.substack.com/p/april-colleg…

Atmosphere, Presentation, Information ✅ Let’s get a @CFBPlayoff selection show in @EASPORTSCollege #ConceptCFB27 #FutureCFB The drama this would create in everyone’s dynasties

This video of Texas receivers dropping passes from Arch Manning last season is crazy 😬 Arch could be in a for a major season this fall with some support from his receiving room.

Yes it ruined pro sports’ regular seasons. The pro sports are organized entirely around what happens in the postseason. The Panthers went 8-9 last year and got into the playoffs. Real important games there for 4 months… The 76ers were 45-37 and are in the NBA playoffs… Their regular season games largely meant nothing each time they took the court as they lost 37 times. College Football has always been unique in that each regular season game holds enormous, postseason-caliber implications. It’s one of the main reasons it’s better than every other sport.

@CFBKings I don’t get how it ruins the regular season. Does it ruin any pro sports? Nearly half the pro team in each league get to the playoffs in every sport. You only hear this argument w/ college sports.

Congrats, power conference teams who lose 17 times! The basketball regular season is completely worthless now. This is football’s future if we expand the CFP at all. Completely degraded, pointless regular seasons.

College Football returns 4 months from today

The CW and ESPN announced a partnership today that will allow people to stream games airing on The CW through the ESPN app 📺 Notable news for fans of ACC, PAC-12, and Mountain West teams who will have more access to their games on The CW this fall.

These LEGO College Football concepts are awesome 🔥 (via cfp_central/IG)

I could really go for a CFB27 trailer that looks something like this right now 🔥 (concept via @CatholicPacman)

This may be the only thing college sports fans have ever been unanimous on. Absolutely NO ONE wants this, yet they’re going to do it anyway. College sports take another blow.

Former Ohio State/Alabama receiver Jameson Williams is suing the SEC, Big Ten, and NCAA for profiting off his name, image, and likeness “without properly compensating him for it.” “Williams now wants money — and an injunction barring the defendants from using his NIL ‘for financial or any similar gain or reason without his consent and compensation….” (via NYPost) Williams is currently a receiver for the Detroit Lions and is on a 3-year/$83 million deal…

The Baltimore Ravens are reportedly signing former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia to a 3-year deal 👀 (via @AdamSchefter)

ESPN’s Pete Thamel said earlier today on The Pat McAfee Show that Brendan Sorsby has an uphill battle to play College Football again and faces a permanent ban from the sport according to NCAA rules. Sorsby bet on an Indiana game when he was a part of the Hoosiers’ program back in 2022, and the placing a bet on your own team (whether you play in the game or not) is punishable in the form of a ban from the NCAA.

From Texas Tech: "Texas Tech Athletics and Brendan Sorsby announced today that Sorsby will take an immediate indefinite leave of absence from the football program to enter a residential treatment program for a gambling addiction."

Major news out of Texas Tech.
