Welcome back, college football fans. I have to apologize for such the short Evaluation. Between going to the Chattanooga/Furman game and picking up a touch of bronchitis or something, the normal G energy wasn’t there. I completely forgot to congratulate and commiserate with milestone teams.
….
First congratulations to Sam Houston who despite the fact that they were outstatted (I just coined that word) in just about every conceivable category beat Oregon St 21-17 thanks to returning the second half opening kickoff and a late punt block for TDs. Because of their special teams, every FBS team now has at least one victory this season. Go Bearkats!
…..
We also added 10 teams to the bowl-eligible list bringing the total to 60 out of the 82 required to fill the bowl games including the playoffs. The new teams are Arizona, California, Coastal Carolina, East Carolina, Iowa St, Jacksonville St, Missouri St (see below), New Mexico, Ohio, and Wake Forest. Congratulations to all. The Bears of Missouri St are in their first year as an FBS team so will only qualify if there are not enough teams without them. So, technically they win out at 9-3. They are not supposed to be eligible for the C-USA championship, but it is the CUSA and they go their own way sometimes. Let’s say they don’t, but there are 82 other teams with at least 6 wins. In that case, they would not get a bowl. A few years ago, James Madison qualified as a first-year team in the Sun Belt. I’m hoping that made the selectors more open to quality teams regardless of that transition status. If the Bears win out, they will be 7-1 in their new conference. I don’t care how long a team has been in a conference: 7-1 is hard and they should be rewarded. By the way, Delaware, also a first year FBS team in CUSA is 5-4 and could put even more pressure to let “rookies” play in bowl games. Speaking of 5-win teams, there are 22 currently out there with 3 weeks to go.
…..
As some teams rise, others, well, they just don’t. Eight new teams picked up the dreaded 7th loss, eliminating them from bowl consideration (there are exceptions, but it is pretty rare), bringing the “wait until next year” crew to 21. The new teams that will not be booking flights and hotels in December this week are Bowling Green, Colorado, Colorado St, N Illinois, Stanford, Syracuse, Tulsa, and UTEP. Nineteen additional teams are sitting on 6 losses.
…..
So, thank you for allowing me to correct the miss from Sunday. This is an Expectation that is focused on this week, not last week. Tonight, we have two MACNation games. If you haven’t watched any of these teams, do so tonight or tomorrow night when there are 3 games. You will not be disappointed. The rest of the season, these kids play in smaller stadiums (unless they are getting trounced for money in week 1) in front of smaller crowds (see paragraph above) and on ESPN+ (sometimes even with the paragraph above). In November, at least since 2000, the MAC gets its chance to shine playing on national television (still in a small stadium with a smallish crowd). Check them out.
…..
Last week the GCR prediction module picked the winner in games involving an FBS team 36 times out of 52 (.692) bringing the season totals to 419-163 (.720). In FCS vs FCS games, we went 49-13 (.786) raising the season to 336-134 (.715). That means picking the winner, or straight up, the GCR was a respectable 85-29 (.745) for a season total to 755-297 (.719). Against the spread or selecting the winner after adjusting for the Vegas points, we were back in the win column with a good 28-23 (.619) lifting the season to 261-243 (.518).
There are some really good games this week and all of them are listed on the table below. Find the games you like and take a few minutes to check out some that you may not have watched otherwise. Because it is a normal weekend (I am not going to see a game in person), I will watch at least a few minutes of 30+. My grandfather loved sports and would watch THE one game on tv while listening to another game on the radio. That was as high-tech as it got. Now we can watch almost as much as we want through split screens and multiple devices not to mention a dozen or so channels that have football games.
…..
Thank you for reading and sharing with others. We not only need your feedback, questions, and suggestions, but also your help in spreading readership. If you like what we do, share it. If not, tell us what we can do better so that we can improve, JoJo and G. With no further ado, here are all the games this week. I hope your team wins unless they are playing my team (yes, that’s to you, Bigly).
