    Put all of the chatter about Florida State looking to leave the ACC outright and let's focus on the upcoming 2023 season.

And of course you still have North Carolina, a Tar Heel program that may have the best player in college football in Drake Maye.

But for now, let's look at the current season and this will be the last one for the current look Pac-12.

    Aug 2 2023
    We pick back up with our conference previews and turn our attention to the Big Ten, soon to be the Big 16, or more if you believe all the rumors. But what we know in 2023 is that it is a 14-team league and that Michigan is coming in with back-to-back league crowns with Ohio State and Penn State both looking to end that streak. With so many new head coaches in place in the league and a smattering of controversy, what can we expect out of the B1G?

  • July marks college football moving day as 14 teams switch leagues

    July marks college football moving day as 14 teams switch leagues
    Jul 1 2023
    The ranks of the Big 12, American and Conference USA all have seen the numbers grow here on July 1st as 14 teams are on the move as part of conference realignment. The bigger numbers of the Big 12 will be temporary with Texas and Oklahoma on the move to start the 2024 season but the league did not wait to add four teams with the announced departures looming. The AAC didn't wait long either, adding six to its ranks, going to C-USA to fill its vacancies. And with the domino effect, that means that C-USA had to look to replace much of what it was losing. We talk a little bit about the moves in this edition of the College Football Playbook podcast.
