What to watch in college football and game predictions
Welcome back for another bowl game episode of G’s Expectation. A recap of yesterday’s Myrtle Beach Bowl shows what looked like a complete blowout by Marshall (and especially that defense – wow!) turn into a potential major comeback in the 3rd quarter. The Thundering Herd had a commanding 28-0 lead with 9:51 to go in …
Welcome back from a much-needed day of rest following Saturday’s action. Let’s do a quick review. In the FCS, Jackson St lost in overtime to NC Central 41-34 in the Celebration Bowl (back-to-back upset losses in Atlanta), but still finished 12-1 in Coach Prime’s last season there. We’ll see if he can turn around Colorado. …
Thanks to my friend CL who reminded me the Celebration Bowl is playing today at noon Eastern. It’s Coach Prime’s last game at Jackson St (12-0/86), the only remaining undefeated FCS school. They will be facing a good NC Central (9-2/138) in this annual meeting of the champions of the SWAC and MEAC conferences. Last …

Good morning and happy Saturday college football fans! I hope you had the opportunity to see the games yesterday. What a great start to the bowl season.

Bowl season is here, oh great and wonderful college football fans, but before we get into the games, let’s take a moment for the deaths that have marred this season. Player deaths across the nation (Virginia, San Diego St, Mississippi St) and of course the unexpected death of the man who made the Air Raid …
It’s the last pre-bowl game day for this year! We made it through the first 3 months and are down to bowl games, FCS playoffs, and the Army/Navy game. Air Force has already won the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy and neither team is playing in a bowl, so it’s just pride and bragging rights today. But first, …
Happy Friday college football fans and welcome to the first day-by-day edition of the prediction model. Starting today, you’ll see one of these only for the games of the day rather than the remainder of the week. Today is all about the FCS playoffs with 3 games on the docket. Before we get to that, …
Happy Friday of a limited, but all-important, set of games this week. Ok, not all of them are championship games, but all are important. Akron and Buffalo are underway right now in a makeup game with Buffalo needing the win to go 6-6 to get a bowl game. There are currently 80 spots filled out …

Greetings, college football fans, and welcome to another night of MAC football! Bowling Green (5-5/116) is at Toledo (7-3/63) and off to a booming 14-0 start (2:50 in the first). Toledo has the Vegas nod at -14.5 and the GCR nod at 68.5%, but the GCR does have the Falcons to cover +14.5. Also, at …
