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…

Parting Thoughts on the 2023 College Football Season + Final Predictions Performance
The 2023 College Football Season is finally in the books, and with it we say goodbye to the 4-team college football playoff format. As a graduate of the University of Michigan, I am incredibly happy with how this season went. Perhaps that’s an understatement, but the expectation was to get the national championship and the…

CFP final prediction before the committee reveal
The conference championship games are in the books, and among the power 5 title games, the only teams to lose were from the two games featuring teams ranked in the top 8. Oregon lost to Washington and Georgia lost to Alabama. The scenario that happened to lead to chaos is that only Georgia and Oregon…

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…

Predictions for Week 9 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 8
The top 10 matchup between Ohio State and Penn State was a little bit of a dud, as I thought the offenses would score more. But Ohio State held its ground to stay in contention in the Big Ten East. Penn State isn’t out of it though, but they need a lot of help from…

Predictions for Week 8 of the 2023 College Football Season + Misses from Week 7
Week 7 had just about everything you could imagine, from snoozers to wild finishes to expected outcomes. Stanford probably had the best comeback of the week, and Washington and Oregon had the best game. I did not expect the Buffs to fall apart the way they did, and I also expected Iowa and Wisconsin to…
