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.…

2024 College Football Season Preview + Preseason Predictions
A new era dawns in college football, in many forms. New coaches have been on the job for a number of months now, and new details emerged this month about the sign-stealing scandal involving Michigan. More details will emerge down the line, but it is an unsettling situation that has ruffled many feathers. On a…

CFP final prediction before the committee reveal
The conference championship games are in the books, and among the power 5 title games, the only teams to lose were from the two games featuring teams ranked in the top 8. Oregon lost to Washington and Georgia lost to Alabama. The scenario that happened to lead to chaos is that only Georgia and Oregon…

Predictions for Week 13 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 12
Down to the last week of the regular season! Week 12 record: 52-16 (.765)Record after Week 12: 580-199 (.744) While I am performing above the clip of the guest pickers on ESPN College GameDay in all (85-48; .639), I will later do a comparison of how I fared against the guest pickers based on the…

Predictions for Week 12 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 11
The first stage of the post-suspension sign stealing saga is in the books. Michigan 1, NCAA/Big Ten 0. The SEC Championship game is set, after Georgia took down Ole Miss, Alabama took down Kentucky, and Missouri dismantled Tennessee. Missouri’s win mathematically eliminated Tennessee as well as themselves unfortunately, because Georgia only has one conference game…

CFP Chaos
Depending on who you root for, or if you want the playoff discussions to be simple, you’ll hope for some of the teams in division championship contention to knock each other out, or someone to fall apart at the wrong time. This is a pivotal week because a top-10 team has lost in the debut-week…

Predictions for Week 10 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 9
It truly indeed was a test for Oklahoma, and they failed. They suffered a loss sooner than expected (pun intended) and their initial CFP ranking will suffer as a result too. I continue to underestimate Georgia, and I clearly underestimated Oregon this week too. USC finally got back into the win column even though their…

Predictions for Week 9 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 8
The top 10 matchup between Ohio State and Penn State was a little bit of a dud, as I thought the offenses would score more. But Ohio State held its ground to stay in contention in the Big Ten East. Penn State isn’t out of it though, but they need a lot of help from…

Predictions for Week 8 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 7
Week 7 had just about everything you could imagine, from snoozers to wild finishes to expected outcomes. Stanford probably had the best comeback of the week, and Washington and Oregon had the best game. I did not expect the Buffs to fall apart the way they did, and I also expected Iowa and Wisconsin to…

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…
