Welcome back, sports fans, to episode 702 or the analysis of week 5. Yesterday, we had a chili cookoff in the secret lair that is GCR headquarters (ok, G’s neighborhood), and while we did not finish in the Top 3, we had some great conversations about college football. One realization that came to us in those talks is that, in a world of 30-second teasers, often with little facts or “meat”, the GCR appeals to a higher, possibly even old-fashioned, sense of communication. Readership is increasing, and that’s great. We would love to have thousands of views a day, but only because we hope thousands of people love to think about college football (and men’s and women’s basketball) as much as we do. We don’t show pictures. We don’t have fancy video (or any video). Our readers actually have to read. We provide discussible and debatable data based in measured calculations and we often do not agree with the pollsters. And we do that unapologetically. We hope that our readers use the information we publish to have water cooler (or the modern equivalent, latte run) conversations. But the point is, we need to pause and thank our READERS, who take the time to peruse a few 1000+ word posts a week. It is a measure of the intelligence of those who view our posts – it’s incredibly humbling to us. To all of you, we are thankful.

As our new 2026 tradition continues, we have three bits of analysis for our readers. First will be the prediction accuracy analysis. Then we’ll show the conferences by winning percentage (not the full ranking like last week’s Explanation, but a quicker weekly version of the same basic information). We’ll close with this week’s Top 266.
…..
In previous years, we split the prediction analysis into FBS (picking the winner and against the Vegas spread) and the FCS (picking the winner). The FCS games (or most of them) do have odds, but they are not typically published as early as the FBS. Because in those previous seasons, we published all predictions on the first day of the week with games, the FCS odds were not always available. This year, because we publish the predictions every day there are games and only for those games, we expanded the analysis. Now we break out the success rate by category: for example, Core 4 vs Core 4 and Group of 6 vs FCS are categories. Our target is a 75% (750) rate for picking the winner, with a minimal acceptance week over week of 70% (700). For against the spread, our target is 58% (580) with a weekly acceptance of 55% (550). The difference in the overall and weekly is that a) there will be above average weeks that bring the overall numbers up, and b) we want to avoid major under average weeks which are difficult to recover from. In other words, if we miss in a given week, we don’t want to miss by much. Here is this week’s (and season-to-date) breakdown.
| Week | C4/C4 | C4/G6 | C4/FCS | G6/G6 | G6/FCS | FCS/FCS | Total |
| 0 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — |
| 1 | — | — | — | 0-2 (0) 0-2 (0) | 3-0 (1000) 2-1 (667) | 15-8 (652) 12-9 (571) | 18-10 (643) 14-12 (538) |

For the week we were below acceptable picking the winner but above expectations for against the spread. For the season, we dipped a little in PTW and continued to rise in ATS. Our test runs for using a new prediction model were closer this week (73 correct PTW and 64 correct ATS) but still not strong enough to switch. We will continue working on it.
…..
Next up is the weekly conference comparison which is split FBS and FCS. We base this purely on overall winning percentage inclusive of conference play. Last Tuesday we posted the full analysis, which was based on mean GCR rank of each conference. While directionally similar, the two analyses may or may not generate the same order. With mostly conference play, here is the new comparison. Each row is read “Conference (collective wins-collective losses/overall winning percentage) number of conference games (non-conference winning percentage).
| W% Rank | FBS | FCS |
| 1 | SEC (56-21/727) 19 CG (949) | Ivy League (14-10/583) 4 CG (625) |
| 2 | B12 (52-22/703) 14 CG (826) | Missouri Valley (30-22/577) 9 CG (618) |
| 3 | Independents (7-3/700) 0 CG (700) | MEAC (19-15/559) 0 CG (559) |
| 4 | Big Ten (59-29/670) 18 CG (788) | UAC (23-20/535) 4 CG (543) |

…..
And lastly, the signature moment. Back in the beginning of the GCR – in the send an email to 2-3 people days – we only focused on the FBS. We really only wanted to focus on the Power 5 at the time (ACC, Big 12, Big 12, Pac 10, SEC, and Notre Dame) but the number of games against the Group of 5 dictated we had to include them. The GCR was, and still is an Excel-driven beast, but it was much more manual in those days. We thought about only publishing the Top 25 but decided to have the Top 126. There are now 138 FBS teams, and we’ve added the FCS to include all Division I teams (and make the tracking of FBS/FCS less manual). Each year, the number swells just a little reaching 266 for 2026. in the table below, we have each team with their record, scoring average (overall 27.8 points per game for the 704 played thus far), their GCR Score (a combination of Performance metrics and Strength of Schedule metrics), RPI (a different way to look at the data that is an indicator of the future – an RPI worse than the Rank would indicate the team will drop in the future), and our newest metric, Celsius. Celsius, takes the Score data and “forces” that data to equal 100 for the top team and 0 for the bottom team. All other teams are proportionally rated. One could read that as Miami FL is 99.71% as good as Alabama right now. It also gets rid of the pesky negative value for the lower ranked teams. Here are all of the teams from our new #1 Alabama (our 6th #1 team in 6 Top 266’s) to repeat #266 Wagner.
