G’s Expectation or What to Watch Week 3

Welcome to the end of another stereotypical work week. Shameless plug: our band, Project:Detour (Project Detour Band on social media) is playing tonight at 7:00ish in Roswell Ga. If you are close by and want to come party, join us. Great venue and a lot of fun. Enough of this, but thanks for letting me …

G’s Explanation or How One Division Can Change Everything

I hope all of you are getting some rest from the hectic day yesterday. In today’s G’s Evaluation, I mentioned Upsets but wanted to go into a bit more detail with that. There are 26 conferences in Division I, 11 in the FBS (if you count the Independents as a conference), and some are broken …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 after Week 2

Welcome back sports fans and a shout out to Scott H who corrected my miss about Sam Hartman being back for Wake Forest. We had a full slate of games these past few days with Upsets galore. In weeks 0 and 1, there were just 3. First, when I capitalize Upset, I am not referring …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch in Week 2

Welcome to another great week of college football. I know, the NFL is kicking off tonight and the Buffalo/Rams game is really good (17-10 7:05 in the 3rd). There is one college game happening right now, also in the 3rd (9:48) and also close (21-21) with Tennessee Martin (1-0/160) invading Missouri St (1-0/147). I know …

G’s Explanation or How Do the Conferences Look after Week 1?

Earlier today I released the first GCR ranking of the season which is both fun and, frankly, a little silly. On the one hand it’s just one game. On the other hand, it’s 8.5-11% of the season. I expect a great deal of change in the coming weeks with some stability usually hitting in mid-October. …

G’s Evaluation or The Opening 2022 GCR

Greetings and welcome back college football fans. After 145 games in weeks 0/1 we are ready for the first GCR. Some of the teams in the top 25 may seem oddly placed, so let’s walk through how the GCR functions. First, there are no preseason ranks. All 261 begin the season tied for first, or …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch During the Long Labor Day Weekend

Greetings, oh great and wonderful fans, we are finally at a full week of college football. Last week’s 14 games were a great warmup that delivered what they should have. But now, it’s all in. 131 games over 5 days should keep us all pretty busy. Of the 261 Division I teams, only 13 aren’t …

G’s Explanation or What Did We Learn in Week 0?

Greetings and happy Monday! Last Saturday, we had the feeling of relief when college football finally restarted. While there were only 14 games, there were some pretty interesting storylines. Let’s jump in: ….. In the FCS/FCS games, Steph F Austin and Jacksonville St met and the Gamecocks (JAX) trounced the Lumberjacks (SFA) 42-17 in a …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch Week 0

It’s a little cooler of late, at least once in a while. The days are getting just a little bit shorter. High Schools are back (or almost back) in session and their football seasons have kicked off (or will shortly). The NFL preseason is in full swing. That’s right, oh good and faithful college football …

G’s Exploration or The Final Preseason Post

Greetings oh great and wonderful college football fans as we are a week away from the first game of the 2022-23 season.
