Some fun analysis about college football – includes both data and opinion
Hello mostly home-bound college football fans. The debate on if/when/how games will or won’t happen this fall is beginning to heat up.

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.

Happy MAC Nation Tuesday, everyone!! I’m watching Eastern Michigan (108/96) against Northern Illinois (82/78). It’s 14-7 Eagles right now with less than a minute in the half, but the GCR predicts the Huskies will come back and win (63.1%). Ohio (72/68) is at Bowling Green (167/118) and should get the road win (64.5%). They are …
