Takeaways from Week 4 of the 2025 College Football Season + Predictions for Week 5 + A Plug on the NIL and Playoff Expansion
Indiana made the most emphatic statement of the week. Google it! Miami has torn through into the top 2 of the rankings this week jumping Penn State even though the Nittany Lions were off this week. The two marquee matchups this week include those Nittany Lions, with Gameday coming to Happy Valley and welcoming the…

Initial Reactions to Week 14 of the 2024 College Football Season
The. Chaos. Is. REAL! Two teams in the top 10 have already lost, with Ohio State and Miami being the victims. Based on the results though, I believe the following playoff teams have been secured: Oregon (seed between 1 and 8), Penn State (seed between 1 and 8), Ohio State (seed between 5 and 8),…

Reactions to Week 11 + Predictions for Week 12 of the 2024 College Football Season
The U is not back yet. But Indiana is here to stay? Let’s see in two weeks when Indiana visits Ohio State. I’m sure College Gameday and Big Noon Kickoff will be there for that game. BYU survived, and Georgia looked lost all day in Oxford. Alabama rose above Death Valley. The Big Ten has…

Reactions from Week 9 + Predictions for Week 10 of the 2024 College Football Season
Texas survived a scare at Vanderbilt, something Alabama couldn’t do. Ohio State too survived a scare. Michigan retains Paul Bunyan for the third straight year. Sadly another fight broke out at the end of the game. For all the talk about the little brother in the rivalry, Colston Loveland to me was the one who…

A quick reaction to last week prior to today’s AP Poll release
5 of the top 11 teams lost yesterday, headlined by no.1 Alabama. In addition, no.4 Tennessee, no.9 Missouri, no.10 Michigan, and no.11 USC all lost. I think this holds up the notion that the Big Ten and SEC are the two best, but now I think it’s fair to say they are the two deepest…

Reactions from Week 4 + Predictions for Week 5 of the 2024 College Football Season + Bonus take on Postseason Awards
No Quinn? No Problem. Texas soared with Arch at the helm in Quinn Ewers’ absence, and Michigan and USC made an early case for game of the year. 32 yards passing? no problem. Let Kalel Mullings eat. Welcome to the Big Ten, USC, and welcome to the SEC, Oklahoma. Josh Heupel emerged victorious in his…

Best and Worst Takes of Week 0 and 1 + Predictions for Week 2 of the 2024 College Football Season
We’re two weeks through (actually 1, though week 0 did have four games), and boy was it a ride. Florida State bookended the first two weeks with 2 inexplicable losses, and got run over without the spear being feared. That is indeed one of the worst takes of the first two weeks of the season.…

Predictions for Week 7 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 6
Just about every team in the FBS is halfway through their regular season, and boy was this a tough week for me too picking the games. As the saying goes, “That’s a bold strategy, cotton.” Picking the no.1 team to lose at home? perhaps too far. I at least had more backing and reason on…
