G’s Expectation or What to Watch Week 11

Howdy fellow fans of college football. It’s another crazy week this week and I have a lot to talk about so let’s get to it. First, congratulations to the 13 teams that gained their 6th win and bowl eligibility last week (E Michigan, Utah, Kansas St, UAB, Wisconsin, Purdue, UCF, Penn St, Arkansas, Marshall, Iowa …

G’s Evaluation or the Top 258 for Week 10

Howdy, college football fans. I’ll get in to more analysis later, but I want to say I was wrong when I thought other weeks were weird this year. While it has been insane all season long, this week we had winless teams go a combined 6-3. UNLV (99) and Arizona (115) were the last FBS …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch Now That November Is Here

Hello college football fans. It’s November and that means it’s MACNation time. I was planning to get this post done last night, but a) I was in San Diego with some clients and b) the World Series was on (Go Braves!!!). That said, there were 3 games last night when Ball St (122) invaded Akron …

G’s Exploration or Let’s Check a Few Things Out Before November

Howdy again, sports fans. A couple of times this season, we’ve explored the conferences – and we will again for the FCS – but the FBS has lots of divisions and they are not created equal. Before we get there, let’s talk about some of the big games yesterday. Michigan (5)/Michigan St (4) was one …

G’s Evaluation or the Week 9 Top 258

Happy Sunday all of you college football fans. I will have another more detailed post later today, but I wanted to get the rankings out. My band (shameless plug: Project Detour Band on all social media) played again last night and I didn’t get in until close to 2:00. I know, there are no excuses …

G’s Expectation or What to Watch Week 9

Howdy all you wonderful college football fans. If you are like me, it’s been a week of Mondays, but today is Thursday and the official start of another great week of college football. After last week’s relatively meh games, this week has a few that really matter. Remember, all the games are predicted at the …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 258 of College Football for Week 8

Greetings to a late version of G’s Evaluation. This weekend was insanely busy even without 115ish college football games and I’m a little behind schedule. Sorry about that. There is a lot to take in. Starting in the FCS, we started this week with 3 undefeated teams in the Ivy League and dropped to just …

G’s Expectation or Is There Anything to Watch This Weekend?

Hello college football fans and welcome to that one week a year that seems like the calm before the (soon to be) November storm. 7 of the GCR top 25 (4 of the top 10) are idle. There is only one game between top 25 opponents (see below). The remaining 16 of that elite group …

G’s Exploration or We Are Long Overdue for a Deep Dive

So, oh wonderful sports fans, I’m back in Columbus again this week and trying to figure out what the upsets and close games mean from this past weekend. I have 3 looks for today. The first one is about the GCR predictions. If you recall, before last week, I retooled (reevaluated the regression for your …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 258 for Week 7

Just…wow, college football fans. I don’t know about you, but I am so tired from the stress of yesterday’s games that I may need to go back to bed after this post. Iowa (8) losing bad at home to Purdue (8), last minute games where the “better” team never led or gave up an early …
