  • Week 4 College Football Helmet Stickers.

    A grid of college sports team logos from various universities, featuring mascots and symbols distinct to each school.

    Week 4 of the college football season, has come and gone.

    We had an almost upset on Friday night, with the Northwestern Wildcats giving the #5 ranked Indiana Hoosiers, all they could handle. Barely escaping with a 29-23.

    The #21 Florida Gators absolutely dominated the #4 ranked Ole Miss Rebels, getting a massive 52-28 win at home.

    Twitter conversation discussing college football predictions and coaching strategies.

    As I predicted months ago (see above), the Wisconsin Badgers went on the road, and pulled the upset, beating the #13th ranked Penn State Nittany Lions, 24-20.

    #16 Louisville Cardinals got upset by the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 30-27.

    Of course, the play that EVERYONE is talking about is #17 Iowa Hawkeyes going into “The Big House” and beating #18 Michigan Wolverines 20-19, on the final play of the game.

    With so many greats games.

    With so many great plays.

    With so many great players.

  • Week 5 College Football Recap and Helmet Stickers.

    (all rankings are current)

    What a banger of a college football weekend it was!!!

    We had instant classics, as the #2 Oregon Ducks, went into Happy Valley, during a whiteout game, and beat the #7 Penn State Nittany Lions 30-24 in double overtime.

    The #10 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide went in “Between the Hedges” and ended the nation’s longest home winning streak, as they beat the #12 ranked Georgia Bulldogs 24-21.

    The Virigina Cavaliers pulled a major upset in double overtime, beating the (then #8), #18 Florida State Seminoles 46-38. Then followed that by having the fastest storming of the field, that I’ve ever seen. LOL. (see final play and students storm the field in video below.)

    The #1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes went into Husky Stadium and ended the nation’s 2nd longest home winning streak, beating the Washington Huskies, 24-6, in a very workman like performance.

    It also took overtime for #15 ranked Tennessee and #16 ranked Georgia Tech to get wins over Mississippi State and Wake Forest (41-34 and 30-29).

    Unfortunately, we had another head coach lose their job, as Arkansas fired Sam Pittman (really dumb move in my personal opinion) after getting their butt whooped by #22 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish 56-13, at home. Bobby Petrino has been named interim head coach.

    With so many performances to choose from, HERE are the Week 5 College Football Helmet Stickers.

    (Team) #22 Illinois Fighting Illini.

    Logo of the Illinois Fighting Illini on an orange background.

    After getting absolutely molly-whopped last week, the Fighting Illini, showed some fight. They went toe-to-toe with (then ranked#21) USC Trojans and won the game, 34-32, on a 41-yard field goal as time expired. This was a great game, that showcased the best of both teams. Illinois showed the country, that they are going to get up and fight, after being knocked down. Statement win.

    (Offense) Haynes King, QB, Georgia Tech

    Georgia Tech quarterback Haynes King runs with the football during a game, wearing a yellow and white uniform.

    The senior quarterback did everything, and then some, as he led the Yellow Jackets to a hard fought victory.

    King went 28 of 42, for 243 yards, with 1 TD and 0 INTs. He also had 21 carries, for 106 yards, with 2 TDs.

    Because of him, Georgia Tech is not only highly ranked, but undefeated at 5-0.

    (Defense) Noah Avinger, CB, Utah State.

    Portrait of a smiling male football player wearing a blue jersey, with short curly hair and earrings, against a white background.

    The 6’0 senior cornerback, was all over the field on Saturday afternoon, as he helped the Utah State Aggies, give the #18 ranked Vanderbilt Commodores, all they could handle, in a 55-35 loss.

    He had 12 tackles, and an interception.
