Welcome back, sports fans as we tackle the 31 women’s conferences’ race for the regular season title. We have never tried to do something like this before, so please let us know what you think. Let’s jump right in because there is a lot of data. We will start with the conference calculated as worst …
Welcome back, college sports fans, as we spend today talking about Men’s Basketball. But first, I have to apologize. During Monday’s post, I said we would have special episodes Tuesday (women) and Thursday (men) about the conference races. Due to some sort of last-minute travel and a little lack of focus on my part, we …
Welcome back, college sports fans. One quick bit of news before we jump into women’s basketball.

Welcome back to the latest and greatest episode of the GCR. Before we jump into the main topic, some major college sports news. A couple of years ago, the Pac-12 was decimated to become the Pac-2 with just Oregon St and Washington St. They were able to play as a 2-team conference in football for …
Welcome back, sports fans, to our 589th episode on this platform. We do not count the previous email version which could not have been more than 100-150.

Welcome back, sports fans, as we shift from the women to the men. Monday had the Top 363 followed by the conference comparison and we will be following the same pattern over the next two days. Finding the men’s top team has proven difficult this season. While the GCR uses an algorithm, even it seems …
Welcome back, sports fans, to our January edition of Conference Comparison for the women. We now have data from about 75% of the regular season so the teams are separating as well as the conferences.

Welcome back, sports fans, as we start our week with the latest WBB ranking. We had some really good games such as the surprisingly dominant upset by Mississippi St (16-7/45) over Tennessee (14-5/17) putting MSST into the bubble.

Welcome back, college sports fans, as we take a look into how “accurate” the GCR is, or put another way, how “accurate” the human polls are.
