Happy Humpday, college football fans. We are approaching Halloween which brings us some great rivalry games like Michigan/Michigan St and Georgia/Florida, and it also brings us close to November when the MAC goes wonky on us (in a wonderful and fantastic way) with Tuesday and Wednesday games for a month.

Greetings oh great and wonderful college football fans and welcome to Monday night. I thought tonight we’d explore both conferences and divisions (FBS only).

Earlier today I released the first GCR ranking of the season which is both fun and, frankly, a little silly. On the one hand it’s just one game. On the other hand, it’s 8.5-11% of the season. I expect a great deal of change in the coming weeks with some stability usually hitting in mid-October. …

Greetings and happy Monday! Last Saturday, we had the feeling of relief when college football finally restarted. While there were only 14 games, there were some pretty interesting storylines. Let’s jump in: ….. In the FCS/FCS games, Steph F Austin and Jacksonville St met and the Gamecocks (JAX) trounced the Lumberjacks (SFA) 42-17 in a …
Greetings to all you college football fans out there. The last two posts showed up the six easiest conferences by SOS (preseason as determined based on opponents’ 2021 records). This time we’ll look at the next 3, still all FCS. I’m going to leave the country in a few days so I’m going to try …
