Big Ten football preseason media poll showcases overrated, underrated teams for 2024 season
The gap between expectation and reality could be significant for these college football teams. The 2024 Big Ten football season is one of the most anticipated in conference history given the league's expansion to 18 teams and its considerable potential to bring home a national championship.

UCLA 2025 Recruiting Targets Coming Out of the July Eval Periods
Here's the thing: with how well UCLA did in recruiting the transfer portal this offseason, it's going to take a lot for Mick Cronin to pursue a high school prospect. It's especially the case with the 2025 class, since as of right now UCLA has just one scholarship to give to the class. Of course, you can assume more scholarships will open up after the season, but it's difficult to recruit too many 2025 high prospects in July when you don't actually know how many scholarships you'll have until next March -- and you know you'll go back to the transfer portal to recruit too.
