Playoff Discussion + Predictions for Conference Championship Weekend
I missed the chance to pick tonight’s games so I will pick tomorrow’s games only. It was a rough week for me last week since I missed on several high-profile games. But let’s see how I do this week. While I’m watching the score up dates on tonight’s games, Jake Retzlaff might be writing a…

Takeaways from Week 3 of the 2025 College Football Season + Predictions for Week 4
“College football has never been better. Interest has never been higher.” – Joel Klatt I hope this past week really puts that into perspective, and at least affirms such words. There were two games that arguably had a case for game of the year, with Texas A&M getting a massive top-10 win at Notre Dame,…

College Football 2025 Season Preview + Predictions for Week 0 and 1
After a long hiatus, I’m back for the upcoming season. The long-awaited ‘hammer’ on Michigan has struck. While the ruling and rationale are understandable, so is the uproar. My thought is this: the punishments are fair. You might ask, “Why are they fair?” You might know what’s coming, but you still have to stop it.…

Predictions for the 2024 College Football Bowl Season + Army-Navy
I went 5 for 6 in Saturday’s conference title games last week, bringing my record this season to 624-231 (.730). Bowl Season starts on Saturday, the same day as the Army-Navy game, and what had an enormous amount of hype has decreased since Navy lost three straight games earlier in the year after a 7-0…

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…

Reactions from Week 8 + Predictions for Week 9 of the 2024 College Football Season
Number 1 goes down again, this time with Texas, leaving no undefeated teams left in the SEC. I can’t remember a year that was the case since maybe 2007, when that was chaotic itself for all the upsets starting with no.5 Michigan against Applachian State. Additional chaos ensured when the SEC officiating crew led by…

Reactions from Week 7 + Predictions for Week 8 of the 2024 College Football Season
I had referred to certain games that had a case for game of the year, and Ohio State and Oregon added to that list. Penn State and USC had another epic as well. Alabama survived a scare this time after not doing so last week, and Vanderbilt followed up that big win over Alabama with…

Reactions from Week 6 + Predictions for Week 7 of the 2024 College Football Season
We have a new no.1 for the third time as Texas regains the top spot from yet another fellow SEC team. Georgia opened the season as the no.1 team and then it was Texas before Alabama beat Georgia. I still cannot believe what went down in Nashville last week with Vanderbilt taking down Alabama. What…
