Takeaways from Week 11 + Predictions for Week 12 of the 2025 College Football Season
Indiana finally got challenged. Google it! Penn State finally played like the team they were expected to be but ran into a better team, and as a result, that’s why Penn State isn’t no.2 but Indiana is. They have to fight for bowl eligibility now with their sixth straight loss, but it isn’t out of…

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 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.…

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 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…

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…
