I’m about to fire off some hot takes, here goes: The AP Poll itself is on FRAUD WATCH™: You think Texas is better than Kentucky? I do. I think they’re better than Cincinnati, too. Utah would play them close but I’d take Texas in that game. They’re better than Kansas and Syracuse in my opinion.… Read More College Football Week 6 Reactions: FRAUDS Everywhere?!
Through four games this season, Justin Fields has not been good. The Bears are 2-2, but it has not been because of Fields. He is currently 23-45 passing on the season, completing just 57% of his throws. He has 2 TDs and 4 INTs, and some of those INTs have been really ugly. He’s got… Read More We Cannot Yet Pass Judgement on Justin Fields
This Twitter exchange got me thinking: Mort brings up a great point that I’ve heard several times over the past few years but never really fully internalized until now: the first few weeks of the regular season now are like the extended preseason. Because nobody plays in the preseason anymore outside of bubble guys and… Read More Maybe It’s Smart to Withhold Judgment on NFL Teams This Early in the Season
The updated rankings for week 6 of the season. I can’t believe we’re already on to the halfway point of the regular season! We’re about to have 6 games down for most teams in college football–in fact, some teams have already played 6 games. I know there’s a game tomorrow night–UCF vs. SMU–which is a… Read More CFB Power Ratings: Week 6
Wisconsin over the weekend fired head coach Paul Chryst. His buyout was $16.4 million (later negotiated down to $11m) but they didn’t care. They wanted him gone so badly that they were willing to pay him millions of dollars not to coach. Nebraska did the same with Scott Frost. They could’ve waited three weeks and… Read More The College Football Coaching Buyout Madness Has Got to Stop
So the 49ers just beat the Rams for the 7th time in a row in the regular season. Obviously the Rams got the best of the 49ers when it really mattered, the NFC Championship last season, and then went on to win the Super Bowl. But I want to talk about this season. It’s not… Read More It’s Time to Panic on the LA Rams
Last week, Detroit had a 24-14 lead on Minnesota before ultimately losing 28-24. It’s happened yet again: the Lions have a lead and appear well on their way to victory before ultimately crumbling late and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It feels like it’s happened so many times in the Dan Campbell era–the… Read More The Lions Defense is Horrendous
Alright, folks: the Georgia Bulldogs are officially on Fraud Watch™. I didn’t say anything after their 33-0 win against Samford. I refused to put them on Fraud Watch™ after their hideously close 39-22 win over Kent State. But now, after barely escaping 2-2 Missouri on the road, 26-22, Georgia is officially on Fraud Watch™. Mizzou’s… Read More College Football Week 5: An Absolutely Agonizing Saturday
We are now a third of the way through the season already. I’ve altered the formula just a bit by adding Net Tackles for Loss. I just think it’s one of the most important stats in college football and I discovered a site that tracks it well, so I added it into the formula. The… Read More College Football Power Ratings: Through Week 4
Georgia, who we all previously thought to be on a completely different level than everyone else, and in the process of waltzing back to the National Championship Game, surprisingly had some difficulty dispatching of… Kent State? The final score was 39-22. Three turnovers by Georgia certainly gave Kent State some easy points, but they’re not… Read More College Football Thoughts & Hot Takes, Week 4: Everyone Is Flawed
