All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
What a day of football yesterday. Yes, there were a number of Vegas upsets like Oklahoma losing to Kansas St, ULM beating Louisiana, and James Madison topping App St (what a roller coaster their season has been). Yes, there were some Upsets (reminder capital Upset means a team from a lower level beat a team …
Happy Thursday oh great and wonderful college football fans! There are a couple of games already started and I’ll try to keep you updated as we go through this post. Right now, Coastal Carolina (3-0/34) is winning at Georgia St (0-3/148) 14-0 on two 50+yard pass plays with 10:44 to go in the 1st. Vegas …
Last week, oh great and wonderful college football fans, the Sun Belt East took the football world by storm? However, like any Cinderella story, the clock does strike midnight. Ga Southern (2-1/80) took out Nebraska (and their head coach) last week only to fall to Conference USA’s UAB (2-1/69) 35-21. Marshall (2-1/82) upset Notre Dame …
Happy Sunday, college football fans! We didn’t have the turmoil from last week, but did have a few surprises, hail mary’s that did (or didn’t) succeed, and a bunch of near misses. I’ll go over more of this in more detail in the next G’s Explanation, but this post is about the ranking. Our top …

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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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. …

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 …
