WyoNation Bracketology: Week 7

WyoNation Bracketology: Week 7

If you missed out on the Oregon vs Ohio State game on Saturday night you did yourself a disservice of watching college football. What a terrific game, an excellent finish, and Dan Lanning galaxy braining everyone with an intentional 12 men on the field penalty to force time off the clock. The game ending on a whimper, quarterback Will Howard sliding down on a QB keeper with no time remaining. A misjudgment of time and space on the field, but in the end Oregon is now the #2 ranked team in the country. Other happenings last week included LSU winning an absolutely fun game against Ole Miss in Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge on Saturday night is always a sight to behold and this one was one for the ages. LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier hit...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 6

Pokes in the Pros: Week 6

** From UW Press Release ** LARAMIE, Wyoming (10/15/24) – After a couple bumpy weeks, Josh Allen and Buffalo got back on track in Week 6. The former University of Wyoming quarterback did it with his arm and his legs on Monday Night Football, passing 19-for-25 for 215 yards and two scores and running it nine times for 18 yards and another score. Simply put, the Bills go as Allen goes. Aside from the Miami game, where Tua Tagovailoa got hurt, Buffalo is winless when Allen throws for less than 200 yards in a game. They’re 4-0 when he reaches that threshold. For the season, Allen is 98-for-156 for 1,160 yards and 10 touchdowns with zero interceptions. He’s chipped in 178 yards on 35 carries with three scores for the 4-2 Bills. They host...

WyoNation Bracketology: Week 6

We had a terrific Saturday of college football this past weekend and with that terrific week of football we got to see some shake-ups in this weeks bracketology. There's never a dull moment here at WyoNation HQ. The most talked about game from last weekend was the Vanderbilt upset of Alabama. Not sure many people would have told you before that started that Vandy had a shot. In fact, Nick Saban said that Vanderbilt was the only place in the SEC that's not hard to play at. Well, a few hours later Vanderbilt students were carrying the goal posts down Broadway in Nashville and eventually into the Cumberland River. That's the SEC. The Big 12 is a complete mess right now, and I'm not totally positive that any of them want to win the...

WyoNation Bracketology: Week 5

One of the best college football games of the season might have happened this past weekend as Georgia went to Alabama for a battle of the top teams in the SEC. The Crimson Tide pulled out to a huge first half lead and the game looked over. However, Georgia came storming back in the second half and looked as though they were going to beat the Tide in their own home. However, a ridiculous circus catch and run from Ryan Williams for 75 yards put the game away for the Tide. Another chaos type match-up involved Arizona beating Utah badly in their own home. This effectively knocked Utah off the top of the perch in the Big 12 to allow Kansas State to take their spot at the top after the Wildcats beat Oklahoma State. Miami pulled off a close...

From UW Athletics LARAMIE, Wyoming (10/1/24) – The Cincinnati Bengals earned a much-needed 34-24 victory at Carolina in Week 4 of the National Football League season, which moved them to 1-3. Logan Wilson, who hasn’t been the issue during the Bengals’ slow start, performed very strong, yet again. The former University of Wyoming football player, and Casper native, boasted a team-high 10 tackles and one quarterback hit.

WyoNation Bracketology: Week 4

As predicted last week there was some shake-up in the playoff rankings this week. We saw Tennessee take Oklahoma to the wood shed and Utah and Oklahoma State battle it out for a Utah victory. We also got a new Group of Five contender as Northern Illinois was bludgeoned by Buffalo this past weekend. This weekend figures to have a huge impact on the top of the bracket where we're getting Georgia and Alabama facing off against each other, winner putting themselves in the conversation for the number one overall seed. We're also getting some other top 25 matchups that will affect the playoff rankings, Louisville at Notre Dame (I'll be in attendance!), Illinois at Penn State, and Oklahoma State at Kansas State. Illinois is coming off of a...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 3

From UW Athletics LARAMIE, Wyoming (9/24/24) – Josh Allen possessed the spotlight Monday night against Jacksonville, and he did not disappoint. He and the Bills rolled past Jacksonville, 47-10, behind another strong game from the former University of Wyoming Cowboy. Allen was 23-for-30 for 263 yards and four touchdowns. It was the second time this season he’s accounted for four scores in one game. For the season, Allen is 54-for-72 for 634 yards and seven touchdowns without a single interception. Through three weeks, he’s likely the MVP favorite for the 3-0 Bills. Buffalo travels to Baltimore for Sunday Night Football in Week 4. Below is a list of the other former Wyoming student-athletes and how they did in Week 3. Carl Granderson...

WyoNation Bracketology: Week 3

Week 3 of the college football season was a fairly uneventful one in terms of the bracketology. Every team I'm tracking in my top 20 was a winner with a couple of byes for Penn State and Ohio State. Is it possible to have a boring week of college football? Well, no. Personally I was in attendance for a Montana blowout win vs something called Morehead State on Saturday afternoon. While attending my first in-person game of the 2024 season I was bored watching the Griz run up the score on a clearly inferior team. However, I did see my first in-person scorigami this weekend as the Griz won by a 59-2 score. Morehead's lone score coming off of a blocked PAT returned for a score late in the game. The next week and a half will be a personally...

Pokes in the Pros: Week 2

Via UW Athletics LARAMIE, Wyoming (9/17/24) – No team has been as impressive through two weeks of the National Football League season as New Orleans. The Saints are 2-0, having outscored their opponents 91-29, and a former University of Wyoming football player is a big reason for that success. Carl Granderson has accumulated eight tackles with 1.5 sacks, one tackle for loss and two quarterback hits from his defensive end position. New Orleans went into Dallas and throttled the Cowboys, 44-19, on Sunday and Granderson had five tackles, 1.5 sacks, one tackle for loss, and a pair of quarterback hits. The Saints host Philadelphia in Week 3. Below is a list of the other former Wyoming student-athletes and how they did in Week 2. Josh...

Q&A with Tom Burman on Realignment

This is from UW Athletics and Ryan Thorburn's interview with Tom Burman LARAMIE – Ryan Thorburn sat down with Wyoming athletics director Tom Burman on Friday to discuss the latest round of conference realignment, which will have a direct impact on the Pokes and the Mountain West. Here’s the transcript of the conversation: Thorburn: What is your reaction to Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State and San Diego State leaving the Mountain West to join the Pac-12 in July of 2026? Burman: Well, no doubt disappointed just like our fan base. We’ve had, especially with Colorado State, one of the great rivalries in college sports and to see them leave to go to a different league, (I feel) disappointment but I wouldn’t say complete shock. I...

WyoNation Bracketology: Week 2

Northern Illinois upset of Notre Dame sent shockwaves through the playoff picture this past weekend. The Huskies went from MAC obscurity to launching themselves squarely into the playoff picture and launching Notre Dame into the trash heap with Florida State. The Huskies blocked a 62 yard field goal attempt by the Irish with no time remaining to pull off the shocker in South Bend. AND got $1.2 million dollars for it! As Jon Rothstein would say, "the epitome of brutality." Indeed. This week also saw Boise State play the plucky underdog and give Oregon a lot more than they wanted. As a result Oregon probably slid in the bracket a bit. Ashton Jeanty is proving to be a hot commodity as a running back for the Broncos and will keep them in...
