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
We’re two weeks through (actually 1, though week 0 did have four games), and boy was it a ride. Florida State bookended the first two weeks with 2 inexplicable losses, and got run over without the spear being feared. That is indeed one of the worst takes of the first two weeks of the season.…

Predictions for Week 3 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 2
Week 2 is in the books, and for the third time, a Nick Saban protégè has defeated the master. This also makes a third different assistant to beat Nick Saban, and the first time Nick Saban has lost to a former assistant at home. Washington State got a big win over a big ten team,…
