G’s Evalution or Week 4 Top 261

What a day of football yesterday. Yes, there were a number of Vegas upsets like Oklahoma losing to Kansas St, ULM beating Louisiana, and James Madison topping App St (what a roller coaster their season has been). Yes, there were some Upsets (reminder capital Upset means a team from a lower level beat a team …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 Division I Football Teams

Happy Sunday, college football fans! We didn’t have the turmoil from last week, but did have a few surprises, hail mary’s that did (or didn’t) succeed, and a bunch of near misses. I’ll go over more of this in more detail in the next G’s Explanation, but this post is about the ranking. Our top …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 after Week 2

Welcome back sports fans and a shout out to Scott H who corrected my miss about Sam Hartman being back for Wake Forest. We had a full slate of games these past few days with Upsets galore. In weeks 0 and 1, there were just 3. First, when I capitalize Upset, I am not referring …

G’s Evaluation or The Opening 2022 GCR

Greetings and welcome back college football fans. After 145 games in weeks 0/1 we are ready for the first GCR. Some of the teams in the top 25 may seem oddly placed, so let’s walk through how the GCR functions. First, there are no preseason ranks. All 261 begin the season tied for first, or …

G’s Expectation or It’s Time for the Semis

Happy Friday and welcome back! Today we have the long-awaited semi-finals but before we get that far ahead, let’s review yesterday’s thrilling games. First, the Duke’s Mayo Bowl was a surprise to everyone when underdog South Carolina 7-6 (58) upset UNC 6-7 (70) 38-21. In a complete game from the Gamecocks including 534 yards of …

G’s Evaluation or What’s the Playoff Situation?

Happy Sunday, sports fans. This weekend was a set of unexpected upsets, last minute stands, blowouts, and just a bunch of fun. With Oklahoma St, Oregon, and Georgia all losing and the Bearcats taking care of business with Houston, Cincinnati will likely make history as the first Group of 5 playoff team. The GCR predicts …

G’s Evaluation or The Final Top 258 of the Regular Season

Wow! What a great rivalry week to end this year’s regular season (except for Army/Navy and the Southern Cal/California make-up game). 83 teams are bowl eligible (for 82 spots – more on that later). In my last post, I talked about the scenarios for the division winners. In a quick sum up, here’s what happened: …

G’s Evaluation or the Top 258 for Week 12

Greetings oh great and wonderful college football fans! Michigan St (12) may be feeling a little bit of buyer’s remorse on the contract extension after a 56-7 loss (500 yards allowed in the first half!) to Ohio St (5). Oregon (14) pretty much eliminated the Pac-12 from playoff consideration (again) by a blow out loss …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 258 for Week 11

We had a 62-yard FG not only to win the game, but also make Texas Tech (52) bowl eligible. We had a spiked ball to stop the clock with less than 3 seconds, apparently illegal, which ended Miami FL’s (46) hope for a hail mary in the most awkward way I can think of. We …

G’s Evaluation or the Top 258 for Week 10

Howdy, college football fans. I’ll get in to more analysis later, but I want to say I was wrong when I thought other weeks were weird this year. While it has been insane all season long, this week we had winless teams go a combined 6-3. UNLV (99) and Arizona (115) were the last FBS …
