Women’s Basketball or The Top 363 for Week 3

Welcome back sports fans to the latest edition of the GCR. We thought it would take a few more weeks for the cream to rise to the top, November schedules being what they are. Happily, although I wouldn’t say we are ready to use the GCR for predictions (maybe one more week), we are starting …

G’s Evaluation or The Penultimate Week Top 265

Welcome back, college football fans. It was a wild and crazy weekend with FCS conference champions decided (except for the SWAC) and some upsets/close calls. ….. We had 9 teams earn bowl eligibility this week bringing the total to 73 out of the 82 needed to fill the schedule. The new arrivals are Clemson, Duke, …

Men’s Basketball or the Week Two Top 365

Welcome back sports fans. What a difference a week makes? Last Wednesday when teams had played one or two games, the Top 365 was a jumbled mess. It hasn’t settled down yet by a long shot, but some of the cream are rising to the top. I’ve added the RPI (or the GCR’s version of …

G’s Expectation or Rivalry Week Part One

Welcome back sports fans as we near the end of the college football regular season. This week is FCS Rivalry week and there are some really important games to talk about. …..

Women’s College Basketball Top 363 Week 2

Welcome back sports fans to this week’s Women’s BB ranking. We mentioned last week that the rankings may be a bit topsy turvy for a few weeks. That is true, but we are starting to see some “expected” teams start to rise to the top. Take our new top team, UCLA, 3rd in the AP …

G’s Evaluation or Was This Near Miss Week?

Welcome back, college football fans. I have to apologize for shrinkflating the football portion of the GCR the last couple of weeks. To be truthful, JoJo is off at college working on really hard and indecipherable math, and I have been under the weather on top of working to make sure the basketball version is …

Men’s Basketball Week 1 Ranking or the Top 365

Welcome back sports fans, as we kick off the new basketball season with the Men’s Top 365. Just like with the women on Monday, this first few weeks are going to be a tad wonky. In football, there is one cupcake game a year (sometimes two in the FCS, but even that is pretty rare). …

G’s Expectation or It’s Crunch Time

Welcome back, college football fans. I have to apologize for such the short Evaluation. Between going to the Chattanooga/Furman game and picking up a touch of bronchitis or something, the normal G energy wasn’t there. I completely forgot to congratulate and commiserate with milestone teams. …. First congratulations to Sam Houston who despite the fact …

Women’s College Basketball or The Top 363 after a Single Week

Welcome back, college sports fans to the initial, albeit nonsensical, Women’s Basketball (WBB) GCR.

The first two months of the season, which is a mix of cupcake games with a small mix of meaningful rivalry games …

G’s Evaluation or Who Are the Best Teams?

Welcome back after a thrilling weekend of football. JoJo and I took in a Chattanooga Mocs game, met Scrappy the mascot, saw some cheerleaders at dinner afterwards, and had a great time. Unfortunately, a Furman player was seriously injured, and we pray he will heal completely and quickly. The ACC ACC’d again with California upsetting …
