Welcome!

Hello readers!

Welcome to Murphy Horning on College Football! This website will cover all sorts of topics about the sport, with a primary focus on Ohio State and Big Ten football. My goal is to provide you the reader information on CFB in a clear, concise way to make you a smarter college football fan this fall.

First, a little about me.

I'm Murphy Horning, born in Columbus, Ohio and I grew up in nearby Grandview Heights. I do play-by-play announcing for Grandview Heights sporting events, plus various Ohio State sports for Scarlet & Gray Sports Radio (where I'm excited to say I will be doing Buckeyes football games on SGSR for the 2021 season!). 

Other than broadcasting (yes, I have a life outside of broadcasting!), I enjoy spending time with family & friends, reading about politics, current events & US History, skiing, biking, local pizza places in Columbus, and I'm a lifelong Indians, Browns & Blue Jackets fan. 

There's always a lot happening in college ball, but 2021 looks to be even more exciting with a full regular season with fans in the stands once again. 

Anyways, you can follow my Twitter account @MurphyHorning for article posts & updates. Feel free to jump in my DMs or replies to send article ideas (always appreciated!), tell me how dumb I am, tell me I'm a genius, or just to talk some college football or whatever comes to mind. 

I thank you all for reading, and I hope you will enjoy Murphy Horning on College Football!

What's next?: I preview the Big Ten. Article should drop the evening of 8/1

Guide to the CFP chase

Who I'd like to be based on playoff scenarios Teams who control their own destiny #1 Georgia #2 Alabama #3 Ohio State #4 Oklahoma #5 Michigan State Teams who don't quite control their own destiny, but likely in if they win out #6 Oregon #7 Michigan Team who don't control their own destiny, but will get in with some help  #8 Oklahoma State #9 Cincinnati Teams still "alive" but on life support  #10 Texas A&M #11 Notre Dame #12 Wake Forest #1 Georgia- Controls own destiny Explanation:   Barring a stunning loss for the Bulldogs in their last three regular season games, Georgia will be in the playoff regardless of what happens in the SEC Championship Game. Two SEC teams will likely make the playoff if Georgia loses the SEC title game to Alabama. There won't be any controversies about the Bulldogs unless they get shocked in the next three weeks. There is no way Georgia wins out and doesn't finish #1.  Georgia's remaining schedule:  11/13 @ 4-5 Tennessee

What's wrong with Ohio State?

After a 35-28 loss to Oregon on September 11th, a 41-20 win against Tulsa did little to calm the nerves of Buckeye fans. To be sure, Ohio State's performance against the Golden Hurricane won't cut it against teams like Penn State, Michigan or Iowa if the Buckeyes get that far. That being said, here's the three biggest reasons Ohio State has struggled the first three games.  Lack of progression from C.J. Stroud Stroud has shown signs of brilliance. He threw for four touchdowns in his debut at Minnesota, and 484 yards vs Oregon, but there are some troubling trends. There hasn't been any notable progression from Stroud, as his quarterback rating has declined in each of the last three games. A lot Stroud's problems, namely overthrowing open receivers and being too tentative when rolling outside the pocket are normal problems for young QBs, but there hasn't been any noticeable improvement. It is worth noting that Tulsa dropped eight back in coverage, which makes thin

All you need to know about the CFP race: Week 13

PLAYOFF Status Changes for Week 13 (here's last week's guide for reference) Michigan State: Controls own destiny to Eliminated Oregon: Controls own destiny to Eliminated Wake Forest: On life support to Eliminated Cincinnati: Doesn't control own destiny to Controls own destiny Michigan: Doesn't control own destiny to Controls own destiny The biggest winner of Week 12 is Cincinnati. The Bearcats are finally in the Top 4 (three weeks overdue many would say) and now control their own destiny for the CFP. Oregon and Michigan State getting blown out turned heads in the college football world, and had significant impact on the playoff race. Suddenly, Notre Dame appears to be one break away (more on that later) for the College Football Playoff. Here is a breakdown of the playoff chase for each team in the race.  #1 Georgia: Controls own destiny Alabama winning the SEC West will be the last significant thing that happens to Georgia in the regular season as that ensures a Bulldo
