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.

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…

Best and Worst Takes of Week 0 and 1 + Predictions for Week 2 of the 2024 College Football Season

Parting Thoughts on the 2023 College Football Season + Final Predictions Performance
The 2023 College Football Season is finally in the books, and with it we say goodbye to the 4-team college football playoff format. As a graduate of the University of Michigan, I am incredibly happy with how this season went. Perhaps that’s an understatement, but the expectation was to get the national championship and the…

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…
