On College Gameday and during the SEC Championship game, the panel along with Chris Fowler alluded to the fact that with BYU being the only ranked team between Notre Dame and Miami (FL), the head-to-head would become a factor, and with BYU losing today, it definitely does. But with Alabama losing too, it’s possible that…

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.

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 5 + Predictions for Week 6 of the 2024 College Football Season
There’s a reason College Gameday goes to the game it goes to each week. Through the first six episodes of Gameday, the game for which the program went to was decided by one possession in four of the six games, with Texas and Tennessee being the two teams that won by more than one score…

Reactions from Week 3 + Predictions for Week 4 of the 2024 College Football Season
Boy was this a wild one. #1 Georgia narrowly escapes. Florida State loses again. Texas is back to number 1 this upcoming week. Indiana looks like world beaters so far. LSU escapes Williams-Brice by a mere few inches. Wow. I should have perhaps known better than to pick Florida State because I did say that…

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…
