What to watch in college football and game predictions
Welcome to Championship Weekend, college football fans. The FCS will be kicking us off, but let’s close out the “other” games with a recap of the Texas Bowl blowout. A depleted LSU 6-7 (43) had nothing (at least until scoring 13 in the last 3:35 of the game) against Kansas St 8-5 (44) and lost …
Howdy and yeehaw college football fans. Our last bowl prior to the championship games is coming in tonight. But first a quick (very quick recap) of our New Year’s games. 3 of the 5 games were decided by 3 or fewer points. ….. In an Outback blowout, Arkansas 9-4 (26) took care of Penn St …

Good morning (or afternoon for you late night partiers) and welcome to the first 2022 edition of the GCR Blog. The formulas that make up the data for this post began in 2012 and have evolved (and continue to evolve) into what we have today. My first blog as on August 31, 2019, and this …
Good morning from good old Roswell, Georgia, the secret lair of the GCR. It’s good to be home and watching football on my own big screen. Even though the Duke’s Mayo Bowl is underway, but let’s look at yesterday’s games first. ….. The Pinstripe Bowl was a blow out with Maryland 7-6 (45) leaving no …
Happy Wednesday from Lonoke, Arkansas where we’ve stopped for lunch on the way home. Let’s talk about yesterday and its craziness first: UCLA dropped out of the Holiday Bowl mere hours before they were supposed to kickoff against NC St, so we have yet another cancellation involving an ACC team (at least one was the …

Greetings oh wonderful college football fans from Starkville Mississippi where we brought our daughter today to announce she is attending Mississippi St in the fall. I guess now I will have to pull for the Bulldogs (at least when they aren’t playing the Gamecocks) for a few years. It’s been an exciting day, but tomorrow …
I reach out to you today, oh wonderful college football fans, with a bit of a heavy heart. Two more bowls were cancelled due to Covid outbreaks. Virginia won’t be able to field a team which nullifies the inaugural Fenway Bowl in Boston leaving SMU at home. And one of tomorrow’s games, the Military Bowl …
Not to single out any holiday and the safest and happiest of all the winter holidays (from Channukah to Ramadan, Saturnalia to Kwanzaa, Solstice to Tet, and any I left out) from all of us here (that would be me) at the GCR massive server room (aka my laptop). I didn’t post yesterday because I …
Happy Thursday college football fans and I hope you are somewhere safe, healthy, and warm. Rumors are flying over Texas A&M’s replacement in the Gator Bowl with Rutgers (first in line in APR) or a substitute Big Ten team (Illinois has expressed interest). I’ll try to stay on top of it since I know the …
Hello once again oh wonderful college football fans. Let’s start with the Texas A&M dropping out of the Gator Bowl vs Wake Forest. Look, COVID is once again wreaking havoc with all sports at all levels, and that’s a significant part of the Aggies’ issue. They also have some injuries. They also have opt-outs which …
