All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
So after a 2000+ word post last night on how college football should be structured, I’ll try to be a little bit brief tonight (I would take the over on whatever Vegas has for this one). It is now October and the games are heating up even as some of the country’s temperatures are cooling …
First, my sincerest apologies for missing Tuesday – I’m sure it didn’t really impact anything, but I was putting the time to good use. Last week, the Tuesday Rant was all about Voice of the Customer – what would the readers like to hear about? I still want to know your questions/thoughts/ideas – so keep …

What a crazy week – Clemson (8) just about lost to an old school go-for-two instead of the tie. Maybe UNC’s (65) Brown forgot about the overtime in this newfangled 21st century football. Texas A&M (33) struggled against a <yawn> bad Arkansas (142) team. BYU (104) who beat Power 5 schools Tennessee (125) and Southern …

I made a sort-of, kinda promise to someone this week that I would start stating who should be in the Playoffs this week, so I will. Here are the only caveats: expect changes each week and I will give the GCR (which really is agnostic to conference politics and such) as well as a, if …
Greetings oh great and wonderful college football fans. As we move into another weekend we are reminded that September is almost over – 1/3 of the season (or thereabouts).

Wow. Just wow. UCLA (137) and Washington State (119) decided to play basketball with the previously winless Bruins topping the previously unbeaten Cougars 67-63 – in regulation. UCLA gave up 28 in the second quarter to be down 35-17 at the half, but put up 50 in the second half (29 in the 4th quarter). …

Last week’s #1 Ohio State beat #110 Miami of Ohio soundly – so, of course, they dropped a spot. Last week’s #2 Wisconsin looked dominant against #23 Michigan and dropped all the way to #12. For those who haven’t seen the GCR before, this is how things work. Each teams SOS changes each week (even …
Greetings and welcome to another episode of What to Watch and Why. Hmm, once I figure out some more of this blog thing, maybe I could do some videos too – other than people having to look at my face and hear my voice, it might be a good idea – what could go wrong? …

Welcome back to college football rant day. Football is a violent sport. Injuries are common and sometimes brutally severe. Dozens of players are out for the season (and sometimes their career is already over). Almost every position is represented in this list. Each year, there are running backs who blow out knees, linemen who are …
