Some fun analysis about college football – includes both data and opinion
Greetings and happy Saturday. There are no football games today, but college football is still a hot topic. Today, I’d like to analyze the new formula for 2020.

Greetings and congratulations getting through the pre-championship bowl games. It’s been a wild ride. After starting a blistering 20-5, I limped into a still-not-too-bad 26-13 with ULL’s win over Miami of Ohio. There are two predictions left – James Madison and North Dakota State for the FCS title and two, perhaps unknown schools to college …
Hello oh great and patient fans. I haven’t been posting these last few days because a) I’m working on a couple changes to the weighting of certain formulaic pieces in preparation for the 2020 season based on learning from this year and correctly some mathematical logic that skewed some teams up or down a tad …

Happy Tuesday everyone! So I took a break earlier today (yes, I have a day job and there’s a lot going on right now) to watch a little of the Eastern Michigan (117)/Akron (254) and the Western Michigan (136)/Ohio (77) games. Both are being played in Ohio and this arctic snap was causing some snow …
Hello all of you Tuesday blog readers. Tonight I have two topics: the second title and a salute to MACNation. First, the salute. Being November the MAC is playing games on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. This is one of the best traditions in college football and, in my humble opinion, the best for the mid-majors …
Greetings oh wonderful fans and readers. Halloween is coming and then the scary month of November when the good fall away and only the great remain. Tomorrow, as part of this weeks G’s Expectations, we’ll talk about who the undefeated teams are playing and their chances of staying that way one more week. Before we …

Wow! It’s week 9 already. I’m back in normal routine this week – whew!! That doubling up stuff was hard to write and probably harder to read all the way through. It could be worse: you could have to listen to my squeaky little voice instead. Wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. In some …
