Conference Call 12/2/24

By
Welcome Back!

We sure had some fantastic games this past week! So many upsets, so many close finishes. It's why we all love CFB!


Today, I will present who is playing in each conference championship game, just in case you haven't seen it..


AAC

Tulane will play at Army in West Point. This game will be played at 8 pm on Friday.


ACC

With Miami's loss to Syracuse, Clemson will play SMU in Charlotte, NC, with the Mustangs being the designated hoe team. They will play at 8:00 pm on Saturday.


Big XII

All of the top 4 teams won, so Arizona State will be the designated home team against Iowa State in Arlington, Texas on Saturday at noon.


Big Ten

With Ohio State's loss to Michigan, Penn State slides in to take on Oregon in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Ducks will be the home team. This game will take place at 8 pm on Saturday.


CUSA

WKU and Jacksonville will have a rematch of their game from Saturday, with the game being in Jacksonville, Alabama this time. This game will kick off the conference championship games by kicking off at 7 pm on Friday.

MAC

Miami will be the designated home team against Ohio in a rematch from earlier this season (played in Oxford). This will take place on Saturday at noon.


Mountain West

UNLV will travel to Boise State and play on the blue turf. Their game earlier this season was in Las Vegas. The rematch will occur at 8 pm on Friday.


Pac 12

Oregon State is the Pac 12 champion due to its 41-38 win over Washington State on Saturday. There is no championship game.


SEC

Texas will be the designated home team because they have the better record, and they will take on Georgia in Atlanta in a rematch of a game played in Austin earlier this year. This is scheduled to kick off on Saturday at 4 pm, but don't be surprised if it doesnt start until almost 4:30.


Sun Belt

Louisiana will host Marshall in Lafayette, Louisiana on Saturday at 7:30 pm.



Come back tomorrow for my updated Power Rankings! And there are some major changes!


Until next time, may you and your loved ones be blessed!

  Welcome Back! College Football is only 9 weeks away- just 64 days until the 1st games on Aug 24! That means the college football preview magazines are all out, and I've been hard at work assembling data and researching the upcoming season for my previews. Here is what you can expect from me, and when you can expect it. Beginning on Monday, July 15, I will do my individual team previews. I will basically do 10 teams a day (after doing 12 a day for the 1st 2 days- 134 doesn't divide by 10 evenly...) for 2+ weeks, and then 5 a day for the last 4 days (my Top 20). These will take you through August 2. These will be presented in reverse order (from #134 to #1) according to my own preseason Power Rankings.  On August 5, I'll start my conference previews, which will take 2 weeks. 9 1/2 conferences plus Independents equals 10 days.  That takes us all the way to Game Week! Well, sort of. There are only a handful of games on Aug 24, which has the incredibly dumb name of Week Zero...

It's Almost Time!

Welcome back!  It's been about 6 months since my last post, and I'm sure my loyal readers (all 3 of them!) have been wondering when I would be back. Football season will be here before you know it! Do you know how I can tell? The preseason magazines have begun to hit the shelves (and my mailbox)! The various conferences will be holding their media days next month, and then the teams will be holding their preseason camps, with the first games being played on August 27, the stupidly named Week Zero.  But I haven't just been sitting around doing nothing for the last few months. Oh, no! I've just completed my preseason Power Rankings, and so will now begin writing my previews of all 131 teams and the 10 conferences, which will take me up until the first games. I will publish my previews according to the following schedule: 7/18     Part I           Teams 131-121 7/19     Part II         Teams 120-111 7/20 ...

More Struggles

By
Growing up, my family attended the Presbyterian Church.  My mom had been a Baptist, and my dad grew up Methodist, so I guess this was a compromise.  I did all the normal kid-at-church things: nursery, VBS, Sunday School, Wednesday Night Suppers,  acolyte, confirmation class, youth group.  I really enjoyed my time, and grew to really appreciate the time spent there. When I went to college, I intended to continue going to church, and even went a few times, but just stopped going.  A big part may have been that Sundays was the only time I could sleep past 7 am, especially in the fall (football games on Saturdays).  And once you stop going, it's easy for things to stay that way. My senior year, I met Jackie in my Educational Psychology class.  After 6 weeks of dating, I proposed, and she accepted.  We were married at her home church in Snellville, St. Matthew's Episcopal Church.  It was my first exposure to the Episcopal Church. We lived in...
