All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
Ranking and blogs about Men’s College Basketball
Welcome back, sports fans, as we shift from the women to the men. Monday had the Top 363 followed by the conference comparison and we will be following the same pattern over the next two days. Finding the men’s top team has proven difficult this season. While the GCR uses an algorithm, even it seems …
Welcome back, college sports fans, as we take a look into how “accurate” the GCR is, or put another way, how “accurate” the human polls are. We truly do not mean to demonstrate any hubris by the second half of that sentence. Human polls have been around for decades, much longer than any computer poll, …

Welcome back to latest episode which is all about Division I Men’s Basketball. There are 365 teams in D1, one for every day of the year, and we will count them down (or up). Yesterday, Michigan (19-1/2) took down Nebraska (20-1/5), and even though previous top-spot holder Duke continued to win, they took a hit …
Welcome back, sports fans, to episode 581 since we began publishing in this forum. The GCR started as a boredom-killing exercise during a slow time at work and mental challenge to see if I (G here) could figure out how to rank teams. It was football only and just the FBS (I think about 120 …

Welcome back, college sports fans, to the latest Top 365 for Men’s Basketball. First, a teaser. In the ranking below, there is a new column labeled RPIF or RPI Factor. Last week, we talked a good bit about why some teams have a higher or lower GCR Rank compared to the GCR RPI. To sum …
Welcome back, sports fans, as we continue our deep dive into college basketball. Monday, we posted the women’s Top 363 with their conference comparison the next day. Yesterday, we posted the men’s Top 365 and are looking at their conferences today. ….. Before we move forward, there was a question yesterday from good friend and …

Welcome back, sports fans, as we switch gears from the women to the men. Like we did with the women yesterday, look for a comparison among the 31 conferences. Before we get to the Top 365, let’s look at a game last night that drives home something we’ve been talking about all season. ….. In …
Welcome back, sports fans. It’s been an incredibly hectic time at the GCR since around September with football games as well as preparing for and then executing basketball games. Now that there is just one football game left (so 3 more football posts before the offseason), we can focus on basketball. The timing is perfect …
Welcome back, college sports fans, as we continue with our week 9 basketball analysis, albeit a day late, this time for the men. We had a longish discussion Tuesday on the women’s (also a day late) top 363 about the impact, and sometimes silliness, of playing non-division I teams and beating them 80,000 to 12 …

As a reminder, the GCR crew will be on vacation out of country starting Friday but will do our best to keep up with …
