Playoff Discussion + Predictions for Conference Championship Weekend
I missed the chance to pick tonight’s games so I will pick tomorrow’s games only. It was a rough week for me last week since I missed on several high-profile games. But let’s see how I do this week. While I’m watching the score up dates on tonight’s games, Jake Retzlaff might be writing a…

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…

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 the 2024 College Football Bowl Season + Army-Navy
I went 5 for 6 in Saturday’s conference title games last week, bringing my record this season to 624-231 (.730). Bowl Season starts on Saturday, the same day as the Army-Navy game, and what had an enormous amount of hype has decreased since Navy lost three straight games earlier in the year after a 7-0…

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 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…

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…

CFP Snubs
In the 10 years of the CFP era, there have been quite a few snubs over the years. The teams ranked 5-12 in the final rankings are included below in order (these would have been the CFP first-round matchups had there been 12 teams instead of 4; the CFP will expand to 12 teams starting…
