Happy Sunday, college football fans. I hope your team did well yesterday (none of mine did, but that’s college football). We did have a previously undefeated team go down yesterday when Penn (6-1/139) lost to Brown (3-4/210) 34-31. That leaves us with 6 Power 5 teams (Georgia, Ohio St, Michigan, Tennessee, Clemson, and TCU, in …
Happy Thursday and the start of Week 9 in college football! Years ago, when I first started the original calculations, I didn’t have any predictions. Just the rankings (and that was just for the FBS). Later, I added the FCS to the rankings, but still hadn’t figured out a decent predictive formula. Finally, a few …
Welcome back sports fans! Most of us know Ohio St is in Columbus, Oklahoma is in Norman, and Alabama is in Tuscaloosa, but probably fewer of us could put W Michigan in Kalamazoo, Texas Tech in Lubbock, or Washington St in Pullman. Only a fan of the school in question would probably know Utah Tech …
Happy Humpday, college football fans. We are approaching Halloween which brings us some great rivalry games like Michigan/Michigan St and Georgia/Florida, and it also brings us close to November when the MAC goes wonky on us (in a wonderful and fantastic way) with Tuesday and Wednesday games for a month. That means in November we …
Welcome, college football fans, to a late edition of G’s Evaluation. This week was Parent’s Weekend at Mississippi St, where along with some cornhole (my daughter beat me soundly) and attending a play (seen better), we had a watch party for Alabama to dismantle the Bulldogs. More events this morning and then the long drive …
Greetings oh great and faithful college football fans. After a wonderful and exciting Week 7 that not only gave us 3 games between undefeated teams, but also gave us our first upset week (more on that in a minute) of the season, we have a more…pedestrian Week 8. But never fear, there are some good …
Happy Sunday oh great and wonderful college football fans. It was, indeed, upset week in the college ranks yesterday. I’ll explore more of that in G’s Explanation later, but we started the week with 23 total perfect teams (11 in the Power 5, 2 in the Group of 5, and 10 in the FCS). UCLA …
Happy Wednesday oh great and wonderful college football fans! We have a game later tonight between new Sun Belt rivals when Louisiana, who is having an uncharacteristic campaign, at 2-3/127 travels to take on the Thundering Herd of Marshall (3-2/88). Marshall came over from Conference USA this year and was part of the Sun Belt …
Welcome college football fans to the unofficial midpoint of the 2022 season. It was a wild one yesterday with Oklahoma (3-3/56) not only being shutout 49-0 by Texas (4-2/30) but ending a scoring streak that dates back to 1998! Not to mention their largest shutout in their history and an 0-3 start in the Big …
Happy Hump Day college football fans. We have an earlier than normal G’s Expectations because of a game rescheduled due to Hurricane Ian only to be rescheduled again, apparently, when both schools realized they both had bye weeks this week. This is higher education, people! Anyway, we get a game tonight so all is forgiven. …
