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
It was the week of the near upset. These Group of Five teams are getting frisky, man!

This will be the penultimate College Football Power Ratings of the 2021 season. After Conference Championship Saturday, I’ll compile an updated ranking, and then that’ll be it: we’re off to bowl season and the Playoff. However, I did make one final tweak to the system after the results of this past weekend. Because I am… Read More College Football Power Ratings: Conference Championship Week
After a wild Rivalry Weekend, the conference championships games are all set for next weekend: Notably, we see no Ohio State, no Clemson and no Oklahoma. It has been quite a crazy year. As far as the playoff goes, there is only one conference championship game that can be safely classified as “Win-and-In,” and that’s… Read More College Football Championship Saturday is Set: Georgia-Bama Towers Above All Other Games
Hey, when I predicted the game to be 42-24, it was a typo. I meant 42-24 Michigan, not 42-24 Ohio State. I promise I’m not lying. The first thing that crossed my mind watching Michigan run all over Ohio State is that this game looked exactly like the Ohio State-Oregon game in week 2. Oregon… Read More Michigan Finally Beats Ohio State
The college football world has been consumed with talk about Ohio State-Michigan all week. And rightly so: it’s the biggest game of the year to this point. We have not yet seen two teams each ranked this high square off in a conference game. Most of the talk has been from the perspective of Michigan:… Read More Ohio State-Michigan Deep Dive: Will Michigan’s Star Edge Rushers Make the Difference?
As we head into the final week of the regular season, a clear top-4 remains at the top of the power ratings.
