All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
Some fun analysis about college football – includes both data and opinion
Howdy again, sports fans. A couple of times this season, we’ve explored the conferences – and we will again for the FCS – but the FBS has lots of divisions and they are not created equal. Before we get there, let’s talk about some of the big games yesterday. Michigan (5)/Michigan St (4) was one …

So, oh wonderful sports fans, I’m back in Columbus again this week and trying to figure out what the upsets and close games mean from this past weekend. I have 3 looks for today. The first one is about the GCR predictions. If you recall, before last week, I retooled (reevaluated the regression for your …

Good evening Sports Fans. In today’s G’s Evaluation, I mentioned a few upsets. Let’s start there. The GCR picks upsets (meaning the GCR predicts a different winner than Vegas) every week. Last week, a very sad 5-11 (but 10-6 against the spread) is not what I mean. The week before I was 8-9 in those …
Hi there, oh great and wonderful college football fans. Unless you’ve turned your phones off to all sports news (or more than usually focused on the Olympics), you’ve heard that Oklahoma and Texas have requested invitations to the SEC, which would create the first super conference.

Greetings college football fans on the eve of the championship game of the oddest season in memory. Sometimes I am not very bright such as when I promised I would have a comparison of conferences for this crazy season. What was I thinking? The MAC played two games out of conference (both bowl games) while …

Greetings sports fans! There is one college football game left (at least until the FCS starts their spring schedule) pitting the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Ohio State Buckeyes as the only 2 remaining undefeated teams. We now have to wait and wait until this matchup of long-time bluebloods kicks off. So, to help ease …
Happy New Year, college football fans! All of here at the GCR (ok, me), wish you a safe and uneventful 2021. From a football standpoint, the last few days have been both exciting and disappointing. Exciting because it started with a thriller with Oklahoma St (21) jumping to a 21-0 lead after a single quarter …
Happy holidays oh great and wonderful sports fans. It’s Monday yet again (that means one fewer before retirement) and we’ve already seen 10 bowl games! With the Music City Bowl between Iowa (25) and Missouri (54) cancelled due to a Covid outbreak in Columbia, we will have 8 bowls in the next segment. 2 conferences …
