All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
Good morning everyone!! There are 5 games on the slate today and I decided to do a tale of the tape instead of a lot of words today. We’ll see how that goes, but first, congratulations to La Tech who not only won their 6th straight bowl, but got their first ever 10-win season by …
Greetings fellow football fans. I hope everyone has enjoyed/will enjoy their December holiday traditions. Before we get into today’s games, let’s recap. Christmas Eve night, BYU traveled west to take on Hawaii in the Hawaii Bowl. 2-point favorites, the Cougars fell behind 21-7 early, but roared (pun intended) back in a crazy 34-points-scored 2nd quarter …

Greetings and Happy Festivus oh great and wonderful football fans. It’s Christmas morning (granted just a few minutes after midnight) in Sydney and when the mates there wake up they are going to want to know all about this year’s Hawaii Bowl. I’ll do my best. The game started in 2002 and Hawaii automatically gets …

Good evening football fans. Before I jump into tomorrow’s bowl and the whole pirate explanation, there were 9 bowl or playoff games on Saturday. The FCS semifinals finished as expected with James Madison (64/1) and defending champions and undefeated North Dakota State (101/9) rolling to the January 11 title game in Frisco, Texas. These teams …
Hello fans – history was made today. There were two bowls and 3 milestones. First, Charlotte played in their first bowl ever – Nassau isn’t a bad first stop. Buffalo did win the game and cover the spread (a loss for the GCR), and it was their first ever bowl win in 4 tries. Congratulations …
Greetings college football fans. The bittersweet month of December is closing – a bunch of bowl games and playoff games are about to hit us as the hectic hustle and bustle of the holiday season, to be followed by 8 months of spring and fall camps, ungodly amounts of speculation, and anticipation for 2020. Don’t …
Hello oh great and patient fans. I haven’t been posting these last few days because a) I’m working on a couple changes to the weighting of certain formulaic pieces in preparation for the 2020 season based on learning from this year and correctly some mathematical logic that skewed some teams up or down a tad …

Greetings and salutations oh great and wonderful fans. This week was…odd. Not only was my life outside of blogging even busier than normal (and that’s kind of saying something, tbh), but there’s only 1 FBS game, the only FCS bowl game and the FCS quarterfinals happening this week. Oh yeah, and the bowl schedule was …

Hello and greetings from the Packers State or Cheese State or Badger State or whatever Wisconsin’s nickname is. All jokes aside, this is a great football state and the Badgers were 30 minutes away from a major upset. They certainly did enough to drop the Buckeyes from the top perch to a date with Clemson. …

As I’m watching Ohio State’s monstrous second half, I decided the playoff picture is set. I won’t have the full GCR published until later tomorrow (traveling really early for work and there’s a late game in the FCS). Here’s what happened for those not paying attention (all rankings CFP going into this week): Utah (5) …
