Welcome back, college football fans. It’s Thursday and time for this week’s predictions and games to watch.

Welcome back, college football fans, to the latest episode of the GCR. The entire experience from determining how to calculate strength of schedule (SOS) and performance scores to the initial rankings of just certain conferences – only those that were bowl eligible at first but expanded to all Division I now – has led us …

Welcome back to a late G’s Expectation. I wanted to post this on Wednesday night, but there were too many things to do to get ready for my second hip replacement on Thursday morning.

Welcome back, college football fans, as we get ready for some football this weekend. There are still 34 games with an FBS team playing an FCS opponent as well as 17 FCS schools playing non-Division I foes, so some stinkers (or major upsets) await. That does leave us with 74 decent matchups, 11 of which …
