All Division I Football, and Men's and Women's Basketball
Florida beat Auburn and Michigan took out Iowa. That’s 2 major teams that lost a zero – in their cases out of the loss column. Thanks for a pic from the SEC game goes to Florida season ticket holder Jason Loccisano. I’m betting his ears are still ringing!! As I was watching the two games …
Hello greatest fans of the greatest sport. First, before we do anything else, I’d like to call out a good friend, Jim Harvey. He and his son went to the Iowa/Michigan game and had fantastic seats. The picture below came from him. If you go to any game: major, homecoming, high school, whatever, send it …

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). First, I expect a lot of fluctuation in the GCR this week of primarily conference games but things should start being more…incremental. Of course, I could …
The blog has now been active for 25 days!! Thank you for nearly 650 hits, 16 subscribes, and 90 Facebook likes. The train may not be moving very fast, but we are moving. With all of the crazy stuff going on in the world today (and in college football where the transfer portal seems to …
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 …
