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 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,…

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 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…

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…

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…

My Thoughts on the emerging traction of a 14-team College Football Playoff
Recent news came out about possible ratification of a 14-team playoff starting in 2026 after the two years upcoming with 12 teams in the CFP. While >12 teams is not yet official, 12 is the supposed minimum. As it stands now, to me, the 12-team CFP does not create enough parity in college football, where…

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…

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…

Predictions for Week 5 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 4
It’s the last week of September this week, and through week 4, we’ve seen some wild things. Virtually nobody thought Alabama would be 3-1, and subsequently, virtually nobody thought Texas would be ranked in the top 5 at this point in the season. Colorado isn’t the same without Travis Hunter. Northwestern has the same record…
