Happy Sunday college football fans! Just…wow! What a bunch of great games with surprising upsets, comeback and last-minute wins, and overtime drama. I will have a post tomorrow talking through all of this and later this week look for an Exploration on the strength of the conferences since we just hit the 1/4 season mark. …
Happy Thursday oh great and wonderful college football fans. We are in for our best week yet as conference games abound. As any reader knows, I love numbers so let’s show how much better this week’s games are. This season I started a new thing that measures, for lack of a better term, goodness or …
Happy Sunday and welcome back after a very exciting (and stressful for some teams) week. There will be more later in the next installment of G’s Explanation, but as a teaser, the GCR top 25 going into this week was 21-3 with Southern Cal sitting idle. The losers were Kansas St (then 12) to then …
Happy Thursday, oh great and wonderful college football fans. As we talked about a little in yesterday’s post, the games are heating up as fast as the pressure on some of the high-expectation programs. …..

Happy Thursday and welcome to the beginning of week 2. Yesterday, in G’s Explanation, we talked about the still fairly mismatched slate we have in front of us. Tonight’s game, for example, pits FCS Murray St (1-0/110) at Louisville (1-0/47) with a 7:30 (all times Eastern) kickoff on the ACC Network. There are 17 other …

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend of college football. There were some surprises, upsets, blowouts, key injuries, coaching controversy, and, sadly, some arrests. Pretty typical first week stuff, overall. Remember as you peruse the list below, it’s just week one so not a lot of data point to truly differentiate. I’ll post another …
We had a wonderful appetizer last weekend in which the only semi-surprising result was Jacksonville St over New Mexico St for the Gamecocks first ever FBS victory. Playing an FCS school this week, they could start 2-0 before September really even gets going. Notre Dame, Southern Cal, and Vandy kept the Power 5 conferences 3-0, …
