Brads’ Breakdown: Ode to the four team playoff
By Alan Brads
Usually, I am a proud member of the four team playoff club. I dread next year's change to the 12 team playoff which irreparably degrades the meaningfulness of regular season games and conference championship games. We lose high-stakes games like last week’s Ohio State-Michigan, or this week’s Pac-12 championship. After all, if Oregon loses to Washington twice, do they really deserve a third shot?
But this week, as a Buckeyes fan, I long for the 12 team College Football ...

Brads’ Breakdown: The Eye of the Storm
By Alan Brads
We are standing in the eye of the storm of the 2023 college football season. Behind us, seven (almost) consecutive action packed weeks of college football, broken up only by a sleepy week 9. Ahead of us, The Game, conference championship games, and the college football playoff. And here in week 12 … not too much. But the tide always recedes before a tsunami.
The SEC takes their annual November vacation to the FCS, sponsored by Downy Ultra Soft detergent no doubt. Hopefu...
Lady Jackets fall to Wayne State in home opener
By Alan Brads
The Cedarville Lady Jackets basketball team fell to Wayne State 78-68 in their home opener.
Cedarville’s high intensity kept them leading throughout the majority of the first half, but they ran out of steam in the second half, and made too many mistakes to hang with Wayne State until the end.
