All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
All of the facts and data around recent games – heavy on analysis to understand what the Evaluation means
Happy Sunday night to the billions of GCR readers. Yes, I’m a little tired after the drive back from Starkville. We start this week by reporting another Power 5 head coaching job is open. Georgia Tech joins Nebraska and Arizona St in the early head coach hunt. Interestingly each came after a Group of 5 …

Last week, oh great and wonderful college football fans, the Sun Belt East took the football world by storm? However, like any Cinderella story, the clock does strike midnight. Ga Southern (2-1/80) took out Nebraska (and their head coach) last week only to fall to Conference USA’s UAB (2-1/69) 35-21. Marshall (2-1/82) upset Notre Dame …
I hope all of you are getting some rest from the hectic day yesterday. In today’s G’s Evaluation, I mentioned Upsets but wanted to go into a bit more detail with that. There are 26 conferences in Division I, 11 in the FBS (if you count the Independents as a conference), and some are broken …

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). That’s no excuse, …
So, oh great and wonderful fans, we had a second week of upsets and mayhem that triggered a number of changes. First, each year, I make changes to the prediction algorithm based on the current year’s games. This year, last year’s formula was just getting worse each week – of the 106 games over the …
Howdy football fans. For those who have had a chance to look at this week’s GCR (posted earlier today), the Big 10 and the SEC rule the top echelon with 17 spots of the top 40. That is going to set up some juicy matchups in the coming weeks. Currently, in the FCS world of …

First, oh great and wonderful college football fans, let’s be clear. There were some great games yesterday. Teams that should have taken care of business did across all conferences and there were some close games between really good teams resulting in heartbreak for the defeated. But, that’s not what I want to talk about tonight. …
