College football is well-represented in the Twitterverse by people who know the game intimately and aren't afraid to tell you about it. We took our annual look at the lengthy list of CFB-oriented Twitter accounts and whittled them down to 100 that are definitely worth a follow.



Times and technology change, and these tweeting all-stars are sure to entertain, educate and occasionally enrage. Let us know your favorites (and anyone we missed).



For Starters



@CFBPlayoff (1)

Get to know the new college football playoff and who is in the mix for the title. This is the official account, so be sure to follow on Tuesday evenings when the official rankings are released.



@ESPNCFB (2) and @CollegeGameDay (3)

We probably don’t need to tell you why to follow ESPN’s college football channels, but these are good places to start if you’re a Twitter newbie.



@CollegeFootball (4)

Whoa Nelly, just the news and only the news. No retweets or interaction, just links to all the roster moves and important nuggets from around the country.



ESPN



@cbfowler (4) and @ESPN_ReceDavis (5)â¨

A pair of total pros who anchor ESPN's college football coverage night and day. Take a moment to welcome Fowler to his spot on ABC’s game of the week on Saturday night.



@McMurphyESPN (6)

“Sources” McMurphy is in his second season with the Mothership as a leader in breaking news.



@Ivan_Maisel (7)

The veteran ESPNer is a must-follow for features on the Dot Com and his guests on the aptly named ESPN College Football Podcast.



@TravHaneyESPN (8)â¨

Travis Haney is on the national beat, though most of his work is behind the ESPN Insider paywall. He drops enough knowledge from his travels on Twitter to entice readers to fork over a few more bucks to the Worldwide Leader.



@ESPNStatsInfo (9)

A must-follow during Saturday’s action if you’re interested in a deep dive into the numbers.



10 days until full slate of CFB games; Alabama has won 10 national titles during the poll era (since 1936), most of any FBS team — ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) August 18, 2014



ESPN Conference Bloggers (10)

It’s tough to pick out one, but this is a good place to start to follow your favorite team or league: @ESPN_ACC, @ESPN_BigTen, @ESPN_Big12, @ESPN_Pac12Blog and @ESPN_SEC. Go for a deeper dive with all 29(!) of ESPN’s blog contributors.



CBSSports.com



@DennisDoddCBS (11) remains the veteran columnist of the staff that has added newshounds @JFowlerCBS (12) and @JonSolomonCBS (13) in recent years. After a tumultuous summer covering union efforts, autonomy and Ed O’Bannon, we’re sure they’re glad to get back to covering games.



@EyeOnCFB (14)

News, notes and a little sarcasm from @TomFornelli, @Chip_Patterson and @JerryHinnen



SI.com



@Andy_Staples (15)

Staples can break down the difference between a cookout and a BBQ and talk offensive line play. @LindsayRaeSI (16) and @BrianHamiltonSI (17) are recent arrivals.



Campus Union (16)

@ZacEllis and @martinrickman maintain SI’s news and notes blog. Follow rickman if you have an aversion to capital letters.

in @finebaum interview musburger has discussed: -katherine webb -betting lines -eminem -the musburger drinking game sec network is amazing — martin rickman (@martinrickman) August 15, 2014



Grantland



Bill Simmons isn’t a lover of college football, but he’s stocked his longform site some quality folks including @HollyAnderson (17) and @MattRHinton (18).



@SmartFootball (19)

College football Twitter is full of sarcasm and hot takes. Chris Brown at Smart Football and Grantland keeps us all in line with his Xs and Os-heavy feed.



FoxSports.com



Fox Sports has become a player in college football coverage online with two ace hires of @BFeldmanCFB (20) and @slmandel (21). And for an — ahem, edgier take — there’s @ClayTravisBGID (22).

I can't wait until SEC fans start calling the network "biast." Probably already happening. — Clay Travis (@ClayTravisBGID) August 14, 2014



USA Today



The newspaper is more than infographics and that ubiquitous dot. USA Today hits all spots with old-school reporting and column-writing with @GeorgeSchroeder (23) and @DanWolken (24) and new-school #viral and #social content with @ForTheWin (25).



By now, @PaulMyerberg (26) has wrapped up his exhaustive team-by-team previews, but he’s still a must-follow during the year.

I'm at a bar and people are yelling college football team names at @PaulMyerberg, who is breaking them down. #help — Nicole Auerbach (@NicoleAuerbach) August 19, 2014



Other National Voices



@MattHayes_SN (27) is a long-time Sporting News columnist. Beware: He may or may not be sold on the Playoff. On the other hand, there’s Death to the BCS author @DanWetzel (28), who takes a victory lap this season. He’s still an ace columnist and key figure on Yahoo’s investigative wing.



If you want to see whose style we borrowed for this column, make sure you give @YahooForde (29) a read every week for his Forde-Yard Dash.



@RalphDRussoAP (30) is a student of the history of the game but also the ace on current events you’d expect from the Associated Press.



Miss anything during the college football Saturday? @MattBrownCFB’s (31) “The Professor” wrap-up is mandatory on Sunday morning.



The folks at Crystal Ball Run don’t have a BCS crystal ball trophy to chase in the playoff era, so they’ve moved their independent college football blog to @TheStudentSect (32).



@CFTalk (33)

@KevinOnCFB (34) and the staff at College Football Talk gather all the news of the day so you don’t have to.



SB Nation



@edsbs (35)

Spencer Hall live tweeting “Big Dumb Will Muschamp Football” is only part of the fun.



@JasonKirkSBN (36)

The college football editor at SB Nation never runs out of clever quips about the goings on in college football.



@38Godfrey (37)

SB Nation’s longform/investigative reporter Steven Godfrey also describes himself as a “white trash sommelier.” So there’s that.



@DanRubenstein (38)

Sarcastic college football observations, Oregon fandom, ‘90s trivia and food. Especially food.



@TyHildenbrandt (39)

Rubenstein’s co-host on the @SolidVerbal podcast will have another year of public discomfort watching Notre Dame football.



@celebrityhottub (40)

We’re glad to know that going public hasn’t diminished Ryan Nanni’s sophisticated brand of heckling.



@MarkEnnis (41)

Prolific Tweeter gets to watch his beloved Louisville Cardinals go for Round 2 with Bobby Petrino. This time, without a Big East Coast Bias to defend.

Arizona State changes uniforms every so often to give Todd Graham the sensation of coaching somewhere new (I realize I'm in a glass house). — Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) August 18, 2014



No list of SB Nation contributors would be complete with mentioning extensive local coverage from the West Coast with @PacificTakes (42), the MAC with @HustleBelt (43), the non-Power 5 leagues with @UnderdogDynasty (44) and Texas A&M/GIFs with @GBHunting and @CuppyCup (45).



Bleacher Report



@KegsNEggs (46)

â¨Adam Kramer bills himself as "Founder and gatekeeper of Kegs ‘n Eggs. Lead College Football Writer for Bleacher Report. Advocate of FAT GUY TOUCHDOWNS, #MACtion and Las Vegas tomfoolery." Tomfoolery, indeed.



@BarrettSallee (47)

â¨Bleacher Report's lead writer for all things SEC, Sallee will fill your Twitter feed with reactions and analysis all over the Southeast.



@InTheBleachers (48)

Follow for updates from Bleacher Report’s video guru. Stay for his views on TV.



NFL.com



NFL.com has recently entered the college football media sphere with a bit of a draft focus. Follow @BryanDFischer (49), @ChaseGoodbread (50) and @MikeHuguenin (51) for knowledge galore.



Fun Stuff



@FauxPelini (52)

Bo Pelini’s doppelganger is all legit now that the real Bo has acknowledged his presence. Hasn’t dulled Faux Pelini’s act, though.



@DanBeebe (53)

Remember when the Big 12 almost collapsed? The Fake Dan Beebe does. He’d be bitter, but he’s enjoying #buyoutlife. No one taunts the current and former Big 12 membership better.



@TheOregonDuck (54)

If you’re going to follow a fake coach and a fake former Big 12 commissioner, might as well follow a real person Tweeting on behalf of an anthropomorphic duck.



@UniWatch (55)

Speaking of Oregon, Paul Lukas is a must-follow to keep up with the changing looks, not just from Eugene, but all over.



@RedditCFB (56)

Not ready to delve completely in the Reddit world? Dip a toe in by following their college football subreddit on Twitter. Highlights are #MSPaintMonday and #MSExcelThursday.





Media Watchdogs



@awfulannouncing and @myoder84 (57)

Did someone say something stupid on TV? Want to know those SEC Network assignments? Hate preseason polls? Awful Announcing is the place.



@bubbaprog and @cjzero (58)

Deadspin’s Tim Burke and the independent C.J. Fogler are masters of locating and creating all those videos of great plays or images of sideline moments. You won’t miss a thing following these two.



@mattsarz (59)

If your team is being broadcast sometime or somewhere, Matt Sarzyniak knows.



Bringing the Knowledge



@SBN_BillC (60)

A writer for SB Nation’s Football Study Hall, Bill Connelly is college football’s top advanced statistics guru. Follow Connelly, an Athlon contributor in the 2014 annuals, for statistical insight like no other.



@HeismanPundit (61)

No one knows Heisman trends quite like Chris Huston. Think your favorite player has a chance at the award? Ask Huston first.



@coachingsearch (62)

During the season, Pete Roussel follows what coaches are saying and doing like none other, but he’s indispensable once the coaching carousel starts for his nuggets from the top of college football to Division II grad assistants.



@footballscoop (63)

Scott Roussel (Pete’s brother) runs a competing site full of coaching scuttlebutt. Between the two of them, you won’t miss a hiring or firing from around the college football world.



@bylawblog (64)

A former compliance director at Loyola Marymount, John Infante is the most knowledgable voice in the media when it comes to the gargantuan NCAA rulebook.



Coaches and Players



@CoachHand (65)

Good to know that a move to Penn State hasn’t diminished the best coach, assistant or otherwise, to follow on Twitter.



@LSUCoachMiles (66)

Most coaches’ Twitter accounts are pretty standard — inspirational quotes, excitement for the season and so forth. Les, of course, does things a little differently.



@CoachWMuschamp (67)

Watch closely and a DM intended for a Florida recruit may end up in your timeline. Number sign oops.

Tickets for free tweet lessons?#??????? — Will Muschamp (@CoachWMuschamp) July 30, 2014



@_Flight_31 (68)

Georgia wide receiver and Star Wars fan-filmmaker Chris Conley is one of the brightest and most insightful players in the game.



Big Picture Topics



@PatrickHruby (69)

You only need to follow Hruby for 10 minutes to learn the former Sports on Earth columnist (and Georgetown professor) won’t be working for the NCAA anytime soon.

I always laugh at debates and surveys - "should college athletes be paid?" We don't have those debates about dentists or college janitors. — Patrick Hruby (@patrick_hruby) June 11, 2014



@SportsBizMiss (70)

Kristi Dosh handles all the business news from college athletics. Want to follow the money? Follow Dosh.



@CydZeigler (71)

College football will have its first gay active player less than a year after Michael Sam became the first openly gay player taken in the draft. Zeigler is the leading voice for LGBT issues in sports, and as a result, gets first dibs on coverage.



Around the SEC



@finebaum (72)

One word. One long syllable: PAAAAAWWWWWWL.



@MrCFB (73)

Tony Barnhart, Mr. College Football himself, returns to his home at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution but you can also find him on the SEC Network.



@CecilHurt and @MattScalici (74)

Two generations and two outlets on the Alabama beat. Hurt from the Tuscaloosa News can turn a phrase with the best of the old-school columnists. Scalici is a multimedia workhorse in the AL DOT COM network.



@SEC_Logo (75)

A news aggregator that’s all things SEC. Not affiliated with the SEC, but this feed probably should be on the payroll.



@JonSDS (76)

Saturday Down South’s Jon Cooper analyzes SEC football from top to bottom and left to right — predictions, depth chart news, practice reports and player rankings.



@Josh_Ward (77)

A radio host in Knoxville and writer with MrSEC.com, Ward brings SEC news from around the Southeast with a Tennessee bent.



Around the ACC



@D1scourse (78)

Patrick Stevens has his finger on the pulse of the ACC but knows his way around the national scene, too.



@Warchant (79)

Stay in tune with the defending national champions with the long-time Rivals site.



@DavidTeelatDP (80)

Teel graduated from James Madison and has worked for the Daily Press in Virginia for more than 30 years. No one has seen more change in the league than Teel ... and maybe Mike Krzyzewski.



Around the Big Ten



Big Ten Network (81)

@BTNDaveRevsine, @BTNTomDienhart and @BTNBrentYarina are as entrenched in Big Ten knowledge as anyone.



@TeddyGreenstein (82)

Greenstein brings a bit of a Northwestern bent as a Chicago Tribune writer, but he covers the whole league.



@Sean_Callahan (83)

Callahan is as entrenched as anyone with the Nebraska program from top to bottom.



@Ramzy (84)

“Consigliere” of the Ohio State fan site ElevenWarriors.com, Ramzy Nasrallah might need a kind word or two following the Braxton Miller news.

Buckeye fans, relax. It's going to be fine. Joe Bauserman has looked great in practice. — Ramzy Nasrallah (@ramzy) August 19, 2014



Around the Big 12



@DavidUbben (85)

Columnist and analyst from Fox Sports Southwest has an informed view on every team around the Big 12. Even Kansas



@mikefinger (86)

His last name is finger. His avatar is a finger. He covers Texas.

Players Texas can least afford to lose, factoring in depth behind them: 1. David Ash; 2. Quandre Diggs; 3. Kent Perkins; 4. Marcus Johnson. — Mike Finger (@mikefinger) August 10, 2014



@BlatantHomerism (87)

At least Allen Kenney, an Oklahoma fan, is honest with his audience.



Around the Pac-12



@DufresneLATimes (88)

The Los Angeles Times writer covers everyone in the Pac-12, of course with a focus on UCLA and USC.



@WilnerHotline (89)

Another venerable voice from Pac-12 land with views and news from Stanford and Cal.



@JohnCanzanoBFT (90)

Opinions on the Oregon schools from the never-shy Oregonian columnist.



@TerritorialCup (91)

Shane Dale’s Twitter handle and book are named after the Arizona-Arizona State rivalry, so you’ll know what you’re going to get.



Recruiting



@JeremyCrabtree (92)

A senior writer with ESPN’s Recruiting Nation, Crabtree has covered recruiting more than just about anyone. A great follow for the big picture in college football’s second season.



@TomLuginbill (93)

ESPN’s top eye for college football prospects is good at interacting with readers with #AskLoogs hashtag. Go ahead and ask him about a player or issue.



@BartonSimmons (94)

A national analyst at 247Sports, Simmons is knee-deep in recruiting knowledge from evaluations to commitments.



@Keith247Sports (95)

A former Rivals and current 247 analyst, Niebuhr is as active on Twitter as anyone. You won’t miss anything in recruiting on his feed.



@jcshurburtt (96)

Another can’t-miss voice from the 247 stable. He’s their National Recruiting Director and happy to take questions from readers.



@rivalsmike (97)

Mike Farrell is simply the Godfather of recruiting. Trust us, that’s what his Twitter bio says.



@adamgorney (59)

Rivals.com’s recruiting expert out West.



@rivalsjason (60)

No look at recruiting would be complete without someone keeping an eye on the state of Texas. Jason Howell is Rivals’ guy for the Lone Star State.



@BrandonHuffman (100)

Scout has made a renewed push in the recruiting market, and Brandon Huffman is their lead guy.

Last but not least...

If you still have room in your feed, why not follow the @AthlonSports college football staff @AthlonMitch, @AthlonSteven, @BradenGall and @DavidFox615
