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.…

Predictions for 2024 College Football’s Conference Championship games
I did not put picks in on time yesterday, so I will not retroactively claim that I picked the winners. Jacksonville State, Army, and Boise State clinched conference championships yesterday. How about Army, even though they are on the outside looking in, with an 11-1 season? They still have the Army-Navy game, but they could…

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 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 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…

Reactions from Week 7 + Predictions for Week 8 of the 2024 College Football Season
I had referred to certain games that had a case for game of the year, and Ohio State and Oregon added to that list. Penn State and USC had another epic as well. Alabama survived a scare this time after not doing so last week, and Vanderbilt followed up that big win over Alabama with…

Reactions from Week 6 + Predictions for Week 7 of the 2024 College Football Season
We have a new no.1 for the third time as Texas regains the top spot from yet another fellow SEC team. Georgia opened the season as the no.1 team and then it was Texas before Alabama beat Georgia. I still cannot believe what went down in Nashville last week with Vanderbilt taking down Alabama. What…

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…
