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…

Takeaways from Week 5 of the 2025 season + Predictions for Week 6
Road warriors emerged last night with the Crimson Tide and Ducks getting top-5 wins in primetime.

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…

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.
