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?

Patriots' Day 2025

By
Today, I attended just my second protest. I've been on this Earth for more than 61 years, and had seen protests, but had only participated once- after George Floyd was murdered. But this was my first political protest. I had some idea of what to expect, but was unsure about how I would feel. I also had no idea what reactions I would get as cars crawled (and sometimes sped) past us.  First, a little background. I am very new to political activism. For many years, I have kept to the admonition of not discussing religion or politics in public. As a public school teacher, I have rarely discussed either subject, except in the context of educating students. For example, when discussing western music history, you cannot leave out the role of the Catholic Church (though I am not Catholic). And when discussing music from the 60s and 70s, protest songs (anti-Vietnam War, for example) cannot be ignored. But this was always in the context of history. I would venture to guess that the students ...

Paul's Picks Week 2

By
Welcome Back! Last week was a very good week as I finished with an 84-12 record, a winning percentage of 87.5%. It would have been much better if I hadn't missed 3 of the last 4!  I expected to do well last week because of all the FBS vs FCS games, and there are plenty more this week, though not as many. There are 78 games in total this week, so I'm sure my percentage will be coming down. Overall, I am 87-13, a percentage I can figure out in my head as 87%. There is absolutely no way I can maintain that, so I am still keeping my "pie-in-the-sky" goal at 80%, and my "realistic" goal at 75%. So... on with the picks! Friday, September 6 Western Illinois @ Indiana - The Hoosiers defeated the Leathernecks 27-17 back in 2012. The margin of victory in this one will be higher. IU wins. BYU @ SMU - The Cougars lead the Mustangs 4-0 in this series, including wins in the 1980 Holiday Bowl (46-45 in one of the greatest comebacks in bowl history) and in the 2022 New Mexi...

Conference Previews Part XXI

By
Welcome Back! Today I continue my conference previews. These previews will attempt to predict how each conference finishes, but realize that doing so is extremely difficult, especially since no conference has a balanced schedule. Also, whatever the conferences come up with in the form of tiebreakers will make a huge difference, as all but the Sun Belt have done away with divisions. In addition, these predictions aren't my personal opinion; they are the result of the formula/model/statistical analysis/whatever. I will sometimes mention my thoughts in the narratives below the predictions. The list of records for 3-years, 6-years, and 10 years are conference records only, and do not include any results for the conference championship games. You will notice that the teams haven't all played the same number of games, especially when considering they should have. This is because that teams played a varied number of games in 2020, and that sometimes games get cancelled (see Virginia i...
