Shake Ups in College Football

The College football season is coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean that the drama stops.

On Thursday night, the fifth ranked Louisville Cardinals were upset by the Cougars of Houston, eliminating their chances of making the college playoffs. The rest of the top teams all one, which means that next weeks giant showdown between #3 Michigan and #2 Ohio St will be all the more interesting, and the winner will play in the Big Ten championship for a spot in the playoffs, in what will be one of the biggest games of the year.

The biggest news from the weekend was an announcement from The University of Texas that they will fire head coach Charlie Strong. Strong coached Texas since the 2014 season to a sub-par record. The highlight of his career at Texas came at the start of this season when his squad defeated a then tenth-ranked Notre Dame team, who has now enjoyed troubles of their own. The season took a downfall after that, with Texas losing most recently to a 1-9 Kansas team. With the firing of strong, the once proud program of Texas starts yet another course to reclaim their glory.
