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 9 + Predictions for Week 10 of the 2025 College Football Season
Nothing really shocked me this week, but there were some epic games, headlined by the SEC. Two corrections: Brian Kelly was fired. And I forgot that the past week was week 9, not week 8. It’s amazing how wild the buyouts are for Kelly and James Franklin… many people never make that much money in…

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.

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,…

Takeaways from Week 2 of the 2025 College Football Season + Predictions for Week 3
I didn’t get to make a full set of picks for week 2, but of the picks I made, I was way wrong about several teams, especially Arizona State. Clemson looks to be overrated even though they found a way to win. Alabama bounced back nicely along with Texas, and Ohio State and Tennessee were…

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.…

Initial Reactions to Week 14 of the 2024 College Football Season
The. Chaos. Is. REAL! Two teams in the top 10 have already lost, with Ohio State and Miami being the victims. Based on the results though, I believe the following playoff teams have been secured: Oregon (seed between 1 and 8), Penn State (seed between 1 and 8), Ohio State (seed between 5 and 8),…

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…
