G’s Expectation or Who Keeps Their Zero?

Welcome to week 11, college football fans. I cannot believe there are just 3 weeks left in the regular season (well, except for Army/Navy). Last week was a whopper and the GCR had good and bad bits of the prognostication component. The FCS games were the most successful with the algorithm picking the winner 42 …

G’s Expectation or Who Wins in Week 10

Happy All Hallows Eve and beware of the spookiness that is 2023 college football. While little ghosts and goblins are filling their plastic pumpkins with sugary treats, MACNation is alive and well with two games tonight. Both are playing right now as the G-SaxMan got off to a late start tonight. C Michigan (4-4/121) is …

G’s Expectation or Who Wins and Who Loses in Week 9?

Happy Tuesday and welcome back to college football! There are a couple of games tonight as Conference USA is winding down its midweek games as we get ready for MACNation to take over in November. Tonight New Mexico St (5-3/85) is visiting Ruston, Louisiana to take on LA Tech (3-5/146) and in fact are playing …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch in Week 8

Happy Tuesday, oh great and wonderful college football fans. We are in for a treat, especially this late in the season. There’s a lot to talk about in this crazy year, so let’s jump in. Last week, the GCR was 35-20 (.636) straight up for Power 5 games which brings the season to a disappointing …

G’s Expectation or What To Watch Week 7

Happy Tuesday college football fans! It’s an early start this week (and for the next 2 months, so maybe September just had late starts). There are 3 games on the docket tonight. First, in a game already in action, in a Conference-USA conference game Middle Tennessee (1-5/97) is hosting LA Tech (3-4/133) and is leading …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch in Week 5

College football is back for a new weekend and it’s a good one. In the new Quality of Game Metric I’m playing with this year, the best possible score is 3.00. That would indicate that every team is playing an opponent at the same tier (Power 5 vs Power 5, Group of 5 vs Group …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch in Week 4

Happy Thursday oh great and wonderful college football fans. We are in for our best week yet as conference games abound. As any reader knows, I love numbers so let’s show how much better this week’s games are. This season I started a new thing that measures, for lack of a better term, goodness or …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch in Week 3

Happy Thursday, oh great and wonderful college football fans. As we talked about a little in yesterday’s post, the games are heating up as fast as the pressure on some of the high-expectation programs. ….. The most entertaining games this week are the opening conference games. The ACC has just 1 (Florida St/Boston College), the …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch in Week 2

Happy Thursday and welcome to the beginning of week 2. Yesterday, in G’s Explanation, we talked about the still fairly mismatched slate we have in front of us. Tonight’s game, for example, pits FCS Murray St (1-0/110) at Louisville (1-0/47) with a 7:30 (all times Eastern) kickoff on the ACC Network. There are 17 other …

G’s Expectation or It’s Opening Weekend!

We had a wonderful appetizer last weekend in which the only semi-surprising result was Jacksonville St over New Mexico St for the Gamecocks first ever FBS victory. Playing an FCS school this week, they could start 2-0 before September really even gets going. Notre Dame, Southern Cal, and Vandy kept the Power 5 conferences 3-0, …
