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…

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…

The Story of the Transfer Portal + Predictions for Week 0 and Week 1 of the 2024 College Football Season
Alas, the season is finally here. I can’t remember when week 0 became a thing, though I believe it was 2019 when Miami debuted with head coach Manny Diaz in an in-state rivalry between the Hurricanes and the Florida Gators. In fact, Week 0 this year will be the 5-year anniversary of that game between…

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 6 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 5
We are nearly halfway through the 2023 College Football regular season. At least Notre Dame is, having played 6 games and recording a 5-1 start, and by a mere few inches they could have been 6-0 instead. Sadly for Iowa, Cade McNamara is done for the year with a torn ACL and Duke’s Riley Leonard…
