Power Rankings 11/10/26

By
  Welcome Back! Before we get into our regularly scheduled program, there are 3 games tonight! Here are my picks: Tuesday, November 3 Western Michigan @ Akron - Though they lost the 1st meeting in 1938, the Broncos have been dominant in this series, leading 17-5. Of their 5 wins, only the 1st one for the Zips was in Akron. You know, the one in 1938. Their other wins were in 1975, 1996, 2007, and 2017, all in Kalamazoo. WMU is 6-3/4-1 and need this win to keep pace in the MAC. Akron is only 1-8/0-5. Broncos win big. Kent State @ Bowling Green - The Falcons hold a huge 62-25-6 lead in this series, but the Golden Flashes have won 5 of the last 7 (since 2018), including 24-21 last year. KSU is 3-6/2-3, but are coming off a loss to Sacramento State. BGSU is 2-7/2-3 but have suffered 3 losses in a row after winning their 1st 2 MAC contests at Miami and vs Sac State. Flip a coin. Falcons win at home. Ohio @ Miami, Ohio - The Redhawks have a 56-44-2 lead in the series, but the Bobcats have...

TWIF Notes 11/9/26

By
  Welcome Back! This past weekend delivered everything you could want. With so many high profile games, it was hard to keep up with it all, and with all the implications. So let's just dive in. Here are my thoughts from Week 9. 1. In one of those high profile games, The Georgia Bulldogs obliterated Ole Miss 42-7, and the game wasn't as close as the score indicated. The Dawgs could have easily scored more but mostly just ran clock in the 2nd half. Two of the 3 losses by the Rebels have been by at least 24 points, so I don't see Ole Miss getting into the CFP, though they could (should?) end the season at 9-3. UGA has a clear path to both the SEC Cg and the CFP. 2. Texas got the benefit of a Stetson Bennett fumble that was really a forward pass. In Bennett's case, his incomplete forward pass was ruled a fumble that was recovered by Alabama. In Arch Manning's case, his incomplete forward pass (which would have set up 4th and long a probably a FG try) was ruled a fumble ...

Paul's Picks 2026 Week 10

By
   Welcome Back! I did much better than the last few weeks, but still well below my standard. That makes 4 weeks in a row of substandard results. And something tells me this week won't be any better. I finished at  40-16 for a winning percentage of 71.4%. Overall, I am 469-153, or 75.4%, a drop of 0.4% from the week before. There is no way I was going to sustain 80% for the year, but now it'll be difficult to stay above 75% this year. I was hoping I had a big enough cushion built up, but I've lost 7.2% off my percentage in just 4 weeks. There are 63 games in total this week, 7 more than last week. By and large, conference contests are the majority of the games this week, which makes picking a winner that much more difficult (as I have demonstrated...). But I'm off to a great start: 4-1 so far. Let's hope that continues! There are some fantastic games this weekend, so... on with the picks! Thursday, November 5 UTSA @ FAU - The Owls lead the series 3-2, but the Roadru...
