All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
What to watch in college football and game predictions
Greetings, oh great and wonderful fans, we are finally at a full week of college football. Last week’s 14 games were a great warmup that delivered what they should have. But now, it’s all in. 131 games over 5 days should keep us all pretty busy. Of the 261 Division I teams, only 13 aren’t …

It’s a little cooler of late, at least once in a while. The days are getting just a little bit shorter. High Schools are back (or almost back) in session and their football seasons have kicked off (or will shortly). The NFL preseason is in full swing. That’s right, oh good and faithful college football …
Hello college football fans. Since the inception of the BCS championship for the 1998 season (played in January 1999 with Tennessee topping Florida St), there have been 23 championship games (BCS or CFP).

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 …
