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 5 of the 2025 season + Predictions for Week 6
Road warriors emerged last night with the Crimson Tide and Ducks getting top-5 wins in primetime. Oregon’s win catapulted them into the no.2 ranking this week behind Ohio State, though I’m not sure I agree with Penn State falling all the way to 7. Though there is precedent in penalizing teams for losing big games…

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…

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,…

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 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 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…

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…

Instant Reaction from Week 2 + Predictions for Week 3 of the 2024 College Football Season
TEXAS IS BACK, FOLKS! Michigan and Notre Dame are the two top-10 teams that fell on Saturday, and as expected, many think that the playoff hopes are over for Michigan, as well as Notre Dame. I do agree that the path to return to contention is much more difficult (very slim to no margin of…

The Story of the Transfer Portal + Predictions for Week 0 and Week 1 of the 2024 College Football Season
Alas, the season is finally here. I can’t remember when week 0 became a thing, though I believe it was 2019 when Miami debuted with head coach Manny Diaz in an in-state rivalry between the Hurricanes and the Florida Gators. In fact, Week 0 this year will be the 5-year anniversary of that game between…
