G’s Evaluation or Welcome to the Aftermath of Upset Weekend

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 …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 for Week 6

Welcome college football fans to the unofficial midpoint of the 2022 season.

G’s Expectation or What to What in Week 5

Greetings sports fans. As I’m starting this, the early game tonight is about 15 minutes away and I’m reminded of a standing dad joke from my father whenever we went to a ball game. He would say he could give the score of the game 5 minutes before the start. As the countdown clock approached …
