It's Almost Time!

 Welcome Back!


We are 91 days away from the 1st college football games. The season begins with the ridiculously named Week Zero, which this year is August 23. I have been hard at work (off and on) over the last few months compiling stats, doing research, and crunching numbers, an I am just about ready to start writing my team and conference previews.

For those of you who don't know, I will preview all 136 teams beginning on Monday, July 14. And yes, there are 136 teams this year, as the Delaware Blue Hens and the Missouri State Bears have moved into CUSA from the FCS ranks, swelling the conference to 12 members. 

For the 1st 3 days, I will preview 12 teams each day, as I count down my Power Rankings from #136 to #1. Once I get to #100, I will do 10 teams per day for the next 8 days, before I do 5 teams per day for the last 4 days (Top 20). This will take 3 weeks as I only post on weekdays.

After that is completed, I will do one conference per day for the next 2 weeks, as there are 10 conferences. I will do these from the weakest conference to the strongest, but I will combine the Independents- now down to just Notre Dame and UConn- and the PAC 12- still just OSU and WSU- into one day. 

After those 5 weeks, it will be GAME WEEK! That week, I will detail the changes I will be making to my weekly blog schedule, present my Power Rankings all in one place (and compare them with the AP Top 25), and reveal my CFP picks and my Coach Hot Seat Rankings. Finally, I will give my picks for the 1st weekend of games. 

It will be here before we know it!

In the meantime, feel free to comment with any ideas, suggestions, or thoughts you may have concerning my coverage. What would you like to see more of? Less of?
