G’s Exploration or Another Long-Term Indie Is No More

Happy Wednesday, college football fans, and welcome to a special edition of the GCR as Army has been accepted to join the American Athletic Conference as a football only school next season.

G’s Exploration or Michigan Did What Now?

Happy Monday for a special edition of the GCR. So, in the last couple of days it’s come out that a staffer (who was a volunteer until hired in 2022) for Michigan (8-0/1) allegedly bought tickets to games within the Big Ten for teams Michigan had not yet played (11 of them). This is a …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 for Week 8

Happy Sunday sports fans and welcome to the latest edition of the GCR. Three undefeated teams tasted that rare defeat yesterday starting with Harvard (5-1/138) losing to Princeton (3-3/188).

Happy Tuesday, oh great and wonderful college football fans. We are in for a treat, especially this late in the season. There’s a lot to talk about in this crazy year, so let’s jump in. Last week, the GCR was 35-20 (.636) straight up for Power 5 games which brings the season to a disappointing …

G’s Evaluation or the Top 261 for Week 7

Wow, oh great and wonderful college football fans!

G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 for Week 6

What an exciting weekend, oh great and wonderful college football fans. 6 of our FBS and 1 of our FCS undefeated teams took one on the chin leaving us with 14 and 2, respectively. We all know that means a shakeup in the GCR Top 261. ….. Our top 4 are very Big Ten heavy. …

G’s Explanation or This Has Got to Stop

As anyone who has read this blog for any length of time, I try very hard not to discuss politics or anything outside of college football. There are exceptions. School shootings (at all levels) are out of control (not that there is a number other than 0 that is in control). Last year the Virginia …

G’s Expectation or A Trio of Undefeated Games in October?
