Lincoln Riley is one of the best offensive coaches in College Football. His defenses have never been up to par, being one of the main reasons why he has three College Football Playoff semifinal appearances with Oklahoma, and three College Football Playoff semifinal losses. Is this the year that Lincoln Riley and USC each get their fist CFP semifina…

Georgia is looking to make history being the first college football program to three-peat in the modern era, and are on the verge of a dynasty.

When talking about the greatest College Football teams ever, 2001 Miami and 2019 LSU are a few that come to mind. 1995 Nebraska is also in that conversation, and might be the most dominant of them all. An unstoppable run game and a stifling run defense helped the Cornhuskers repeat as National Champions. #cfb #collegefootball #football #ncaafootbal…

The word "dynasty" get's thrown around a lot, especially after Georgia won back-to-back National Championships and looks to three-peat this upcoming season.
