G’s Expectation or Who Wins in Week 12?

Happy Week 12, oh great and wonderful college football fans. This week we see the last regular season games for the FCS, except for a couple from the SWAC next week. And we have our last games before rivalry week! Last week, the old GCR had some good and bad predictions for sure, like picking Oklahoma St to cover UCF before losing 45-3. Overall for FBS games straight up (just picking the winner), a less than average 44-21 (.677) brings the season to 457-173 (.725). Against the spread another disappointing week at 31-32 (.492) brought the season down to 264-245 (.519). For the FCS, a really good week of 42-14 straight up raised the season to 329-172 (.657). However, for the highlighted games in the “who keeps their zero” theme, the GCR was a combined 12-1 (.923) straight up and 5-2 (.714) against the spread.

…..

This week, as a random theme, I’m picking intriguing games that have an impact on their respective conference championships. Before I start, congratulations to Florida St (ACC), Liberty (USA), Toledo (MAC-West), Georgia (SEC-East), Alabama (SEC-West), and Troy (SUN-West) as FBS teams who earned a ticket to championship games in 2 weeks. In the FCS, Florida A&M (SWAC-East) also clinched a spot in their game. Furman (SoCon) and South Dakota St (MVC) have clinched their respective conferences.

…..

Let’s start with the American Conference which has no divisions. There are 3 teams (SMU, Tulane, and UTSA) who are 6-0 in conference with 2 weeks to go. The only other team that could make the championship game is Memphis (8-2/38) who is 5-1 in conference. In a noon (all times Eastern) game, they host SMU (8-2/26) in a game that will likely eliminate the loser. When SMU has the ball, they bring an Offensive Efficiency Rating (OER) of 138 (25th in the nation) which means they score 13.8 points for every 10.0 points their opponents normally allow. They face a Tiger DER (Defensive) of just 92 (173rd) meaning they give up 10.0 points for every 9.2 points their opponents normally score. When Memphis drives, their OER of 139 (23rd) will butt against a Mustang DER of 160 (17th). Vegas likes SMU-7.5 and the GCR agrees 63% and to cover.

…..

In the ACC, also at 12:00, Louisville (9-1/11) will try to clinch a date with Florida St by invading Miami FL (6-4/39). The Cardinals OER of 124 (49th) will do battle with the Hurricane DER of 141 (36th). When on offense the southern Miami (there’s one in Ohio too), their OER of 126 (44th) tries to push the Louisville DER of 149 (26th. MIAF has been tough to predict this year and they are at home. In fact, looking at these numbers and comparing to the record doesn’t match up as clearly as normal. That is probably why Vegas has LOU-1.5. The GCR likes the Cardinals a bunch more at 91% to win and to cover.

…..

A Texas (9-1/8) all but clinches an extra game, but they have to get through Iowa St (6-4/42) who is still mathematically in play. Kicking off at 8:00, the Longhorns bring an OER of 133 (30th) vs a State DER of 135 (41st). When the Cyclones are making dust clouds, their OER of 108 (100th) faces a really good Texas DER of 162 (15th). Vegas thinks Texas wins on the road -8.0 and the GCR agrees 95% and to cover.

…..

The Big Ten West, using just conference records, has a 2-5 team, five 3-4 teams and a 5-2 team. If Iowa (8-2/16) can win at home against Illinois (5-5/72), they will (probably) face the winner of the Michigan/Ohio St game. The Hawkeyes OER is just 77 (208th) and will face an Illini DER of 92 (171st). On the flip side, an ILL OER of 103 (124th) faces a brutal Iowa DER of 208 (5th). Look for a low-scoring affair. Vegas has IOWA-3.5 which is just home field advantage, but the GCR has the Hawkeyes 89% and to cover.

…..

In the Mountain West, the two teams with 5-1 conference records face off when UNLV (8-2/36) invades Air Force (8-2/30). This could, and should, be a preview of the championship game, but there’s no guarantee as Boise St, Fresno St, and San Jose St are all 4-2 in the conference. In the game of the week, the Rebels OER of 131 (33rd) will put the Falcons DER of 153 (22nd) to the test. When Air Force grinds away, their OER of 104 (119th) will be challenged by the UNLV DER of 106 (102nd). This one is tough to pick. Vegas has AF-3.5 and the GCR agrees 61% and to cover.

…..

Washington (10-0/5) is fighting to make the Playoffs but this week they will be tested when they travel to Oregon St (8-2/15) who is still in play for the Pac 12 championship game. Washington clinches a spot with a win and ORST would get a loser go home in their game vs Oregon next week. The Huskies OER of 146 (18th) is tough but the ORST DER of 134 (42nd) is above average. When the Beaver’s drive, an OER of 139 (22nd) faces a somewhat porous WASH DER of 122 (62nd). This feels like a last possession game to me. Vegas thinks so at WASH-1.0 and the GCR thinks WASH will cover that at 75%.

…..

Our final FBS game is in the Sun Belt East where perfect James Madison (10-0/9) hosts App St (6-4/73). Because of one of the dumbest rules the NCAA has (and they have a bunch), the team vying for the division title is App St. JMU isn’t allowed to win the division until next year as part of its 2-year probation following promotion from FCS to FBS. If the Mountaineers lose, Coastal Carolina will likely win. Vegas thinks JMU continues their perfect season -11.5 and the GCR agrees 81% and to cover.

…..

In the FCS, it’s rivalry week and the Big Sky conference will be decided by the winner of Montana (9-1/101) and Montana St (8-2/115) as both teams are 6-1 in conference. There are no lines for FCS games this early, but the GCR has Montana winning 61%.

…..

In the Colonial, currently the largest conference with 15 members, there are 4 teams 6-1 in the conference. Two of them, Delaware (8-2/118) and Villanova (8-2/120) kick off at 1:00. This one will be close as the GCR has the Blue Hens of DEL winning 52% of the time.

…..

The Ivy League champion will be crowned during the annual Harvard (8-1/107)/Yale (6-3/205) game. Harvard should win big, HARV 71%.

…..

The MEAC has three teams at 3-1 in conference and two of them play. The winner of the conference will get an appearance at the only FCS bowl (the Celebration Bowl) against the winner of the SWAC championship game. Assuming NC Central wins its game against Delaware St, and they should, the Howard (5-5/186) game against Morgan St (4-5/203) will decide the overall winner. If Howard wins, they win the conference since they just beat NCC. A Morgan St victory gives the 8-2 NCC the championship. GCR says Howard wins it and the conference 54%.

…..

In the Northeast, Duquesne (6-4/172) is 5-1 in conference but has to beat Merrimack (5-5/194), who is 4-2 in conference, to gain the championship. More interesting is that the rule to make the FCS playoff is to win 7 games…unless a team wins the conference. A Dukes win clinches and gives the 7th win so no worries. A loss gives the tie-breaker to Merrimack. DUQ 54%.

…..

And finally, in the UAC, the winner of the matchup between C Arkansas (7-3/150) and Austin Peay (8-2/124) gains the automatic bid to the playoffs. Austin Peay should win 63%.

…..

That’s it for this day-early rare Monday posting (I’m just outside of Youngstown Ohio and will be traveling tomorrow night). Below is every game. Have a great week and thanks for reading and sharing, G
