Welcome back as we prepare for another fun weekend of college football. It’s still early and I was hoping for at least one FCS game between undefeated teams, but not this week. Don’t worry, there will be plenty of intrigue coming soon in the league. There is also only 1 game between GCR Top 25 teams when Boston College (2-0/11) travels to Columbia to take on Missouri (2-0/3). So far, the Eagles strength is defense with a Defensive Efficiency Rating (DER) of 169 (40th in the country). That DER means that BC gives up 10 points for every 16.9 their opponents normally score. With an Offensive Efficiency Rating (OER) of just 107 (113th), they’ll need as many stops as they can get. A 107 means they score 10.7 points for every 10 their opponents normally allow. Missouri has an OER of 147 (26th). They’ve also not given up a point yet. Vegas has Mizzou-16.5 which looks pretty good on paper. At some point, someone’s going to score and or stop them, but will it be this year’s upstart ACC team? The game is at 12:45 (all times Eastern). I do think Missouri will cover, but this is the first even close to a competitive game.
…..
Another game I’m interested in is UNLV (2-0/34) at Kansas (1-1/72). Vegas has Kansas-7.0 so let’s look into some details. UNLV can score with an OER of 136 (46th) vs a Jayhawk DER of 162 (50th). Pretty even there. When Kansas has the ball, a good OER of 131 (58th) vs a Rebels DER of just 95 (142nd). Will that be enough along with home field advantage? If I were a betting man (and no, I do not bet on teenagers), I think Kansas will pull the GCR upset and by double digits. You can find out Friday night at 7:00.
…..
Here are all the games. I wish you and your team the best of luck, unless your team is playing mine. See you Sunday morning for the next round of G’s Evaluation.
