Hello, oh great and patient college football fans. The last few weeks have been crazy insane in the ol’ G life (day job, home responsibilities, soon to be 18-year-old daughter, learning new songs for the band – shameless plug during an apology for Project Detour Band on all kinds of social media).

Welcome back after a break. It’s good to be back. I didn’t take all of this time off, but rather spent a ton of time on analysis – certainly enough for 3-4 blogs already. Now that the season is over, I’m going to aim for a blog a week…UNLESS, I get a question in the …

Plus the weekly, and yet, not really surprising, prediction of the committee’s top 4. On Tuesday, I’ll rank the conferences heading into Championship week, then on Thursday, I’ll predict …
