G’s Evaluation or the Top 261 for Week 9

Happy Sunday, college football fans. I hope your team did well yesterday (none of mine did, but that’s college football). We did have a previously undefeated team go down yesterday when Penn (6-1/139) lost to Brown (3-4/210) 34-31. That leaves us with 6 Power 5 teams (Georgia, Ohio St, Michigan, Tennessee, Clemson, and TCU, in …

G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 for Week 6

Welcome college football fans to the unofficial midpoint of the 2022 season. It was a wild one yesterday with Oklahoma (3-3/56) not only being shutout 49-0 by Texas (4-2/30) but ending a scoring streak that dates back to 1998!

G’s Evaluation or the Top 258 for Week 12

Greetings oh great and wonderful college football fans! Michigan St (12) may be feeling a little bit of buyer’s remorse on the contract extension after a 56-7 loss (500 yards allowed in the first half!) to Ohio St (5). Oregon (14) pretty much eliminated the Pac-12 from playoff consideration (again) by a blow out loss …

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 Explanation or What Did Week 6 Mean?

So, oh great and wonderful fans, we had a second week of upsets and mayhem that triggered a number of changes. First, each year, I make changes to the prediction algorithm based on the current year’s games. This year, last year’s formula was just getting worse each week – of the 106 games over the …
