Michigan v. Washington Natty Marks New Era in CFB: Is Recruiting No Longer Important?!

I have been traveling on and off basically since Thanksgiving. I’ve been to four different states plus another country all over the past 5 weeks. I typed up a draft of a reaction post following rivalry weekend, then added to it following Conference Championship weekend, and I meant to add in a playoff prediction post… Read More Michigan v.

The CFP Committee Was Right to Put Bama in the Playoff. But FSU Fans Still have the Right to be Pissed.

I have been traveling most of the month of December so I haven’t been really able to update the site as much as I’d like to. I had this post typed up in my notes app after the CFP Final Four was announced, and I just never got around to editing it and posting it.… Read More The CFP Committee Was Right to Put Bama in the Playoff.

CFB Week 10 Reactions, Penn State-Michigan Preview & Prediction, Power Ratings & Gambling Picks

Quick thoughts on Week 10: Week 11 Power Ratings, FTP Top 25: This is the point in the season where I really start to hate my power ratings.

CFB Week 9 Reactions: OSU needs New QB, Michigan Craziness, Worst offense in B1G? BAMA-LSU PREDICTION

First, let’s get to the updated power ratings: Oregon is still my #1 team in the country. They’re just the most statistically dominant team, and that’s what these rankings are based off of. It’s not emotional or subjective at all–the only thing subjective about my rankings is the statistical categories I’ve included and the weighting… Read More CFB Week 9 Reactions: OSU needs New QB, Michigan Craziness, Worst offense in B1G?

College Football Week 8 Reactions– Clemson is Cooked, Michigan is REALLY Cooked | Florida-Georgia Prediction

Power ratings going into week 9: Penn State moved up despite losing to Ohio State. That’s largely because Penn State had really good stats prior to this game but were weighed down by their poor strength of schedule. Now they rank pretty highly in SOS so in the formula’s eyes it kind of validates everything… Read More College Football Week 8 Reactions– Clemson is Cooked, Michigan is REALLY Cooked | Florida-Georgia Prediction

Is the Michigan “Spygate” the Biggest Cheating Scandal in Sports History?

First, some updates on the story. Because some more bombshells dropped today, and it just gets worse and worse. Apparently, the person who first blew the whistle on this whole thing was NOT Ryan Day, or Greg Schiano, or Mel Tucker, or name your Big Ten coach with an axe to grind against Jim Harbaugh.… Read More Is the Michigan “Spygate” the Biggest Cheating Scandal in Sports History?
