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…

Reactions from Week 5 + Predictions for Week 6 of the 2024 College Football Season
There’s a reason College Gameday goes to the game it goes to each week. Through the first six episodes of Gameday, the game for which the program went to was decided by one possession in four of the six games, with Texas and Tennessee being the two teams that won by more than one score…

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…

The 2023 College Football Season is finally in the books, and with it we say goodbye to the 4-team college football playoff format.

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 11 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 10
Happy Veterans Day to those who have served the United States of America, and to the Veterans who serve / have served in the military to defend their countries. Maryland continues to slide after a torrid start, and there was surprisingly no change among the top 8 teams in the CFP rankings and their order.…

Predictions for Week 10 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 9
It truly indeed was a test for Oklahoma, and they failed. They suffered a loss sooner than expected (pun intended) and their initial CFP ranking will suffer as a result too. I continue to underestimate Georgia, and I clearly underestimated Oregon this week too. USC finally got back into the win column even though their…
