Happy Wednesday and welcome to day 5 of the FBS bowl season. Yesterday the MAC had a great day with 2 victories. First, in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, E Michigan upset San Jose St 41-27 with a monster 2nd quarter to take a 30-13 half time lead and held on despite being outgained 498-416. …
Welcome back for another bowl game episode of G’s Expectation. A recap of yesterday’s Myrtle Beach Bowl shows what looked like a complete blowout by Marshall (and especially that defense – wow!) turn into a potential major comeback in the 3rd quarter. The Thundering Herd had a commanding 28-0 lead with 9:51 to go in …
Welcome back from a much-needed day of rest following Saturday’s action. Let’s do a quick review. In the FCS, Jackson St lost in overtime to NC Central 41-34 in the Celebration Bowl (back-to-back upset losses in Atlanta), but still finished 12-1 in Coach Prime’s last season there. We’ll see if he can turn around Colorado. …

Bowl season is here, oh great and wonderful college football fans, but before we get into the games, let’s take a moment for the deaths that have marred this season. Player deaths across the nation (Virginia, San Diego St, Mississippi St) and of course the unexpected death of the man who made the Air Raid …
It’s the last pre-bowl game day for this year! We made it through the first 3 months and are down to bowl games, FCS playoffs, and the Army/Navy game. Air Force has already won the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy and neither team is playing in a bowl, so it’s just pride and bragging rights today. But first, …
Happy Friday college football fans and welcome to the first day-by-day edition of the prediction model. Starting today, you’ll see one of these only for the games of the day rather than the remainder of the week. Today is all about the FCS playoffs with 3 games on the docket. Before we get to that, …
Happy Wednesday, oh great and wonderful college football fans. It’s been a while since I’ve had a post all about the statistics.
