Week 8 didn’t have quite the degree of thrilling last-minute victories that Week 7 had, but it was a slate full of surprises and fun nonetheless. The suspense started on Friday night, as BYU stayed undefeated with a go-ahead 35-yard touchdown with just ten seconds on the clock to topple Oklahoma State. Saturday’s early slate […]

After a two-week dry spell, my Week 8 bold predictions finally started to hit again. I was way off on Nebraska over Indiana, but Tennessee over Alabama and Illinois over Michigan both held true. Week 9’s slate again has the potential for some wild results. After hours of mulling through the slate, I have crafted […]

The Week 7 college football slate was complete chaos and amidst the chaos, last week’s bold predictions were missed again. Ohio State fell at Oregon, BYU steamrolled Arizona, and USC sputtered late to lose to Penn State in overtime. Another 0-3 record on bold predictions marks back-to-back down weeks. Meaning we’ve got to be due […]

Week 7 of the college football season did not disappoint and honestly from this point on, every weekend ahead of us gets more and more exciting. More games have championship implications with the 12-team playoff on the horizon, and a few teams’ playoff hopes are on life support following some shocking Week 7 losses. Although […]

Despite the chaos of Week 6, last week’s bold predictions just were not bold enough. Missouri was blown out rather than securing a road win as predicted. Miami surely did not blow California out as it needed a final-minute touchdown to win by one point. Will Rogers did turn the ball over for the first […]

Week 6 was one of the most insane weekends of college football in recent memory. From a bird’s eye view, the slate looked boring. Only one ranked matchup, College Gameday in California for an after-dark kickoff, and top teams playing what appeared to be cupcakes. That could not be more wrong. Expect the unexpected in […]

Week 5’s bold predictions were all close but no cigar. Last week, I had Notre Dame over Louisville by double digits. The Irish led all game but ended up winning by seven. I also predicted that Michael Hawkins Jr. would ignite the Oklahoma Sooners and get them rolling.  Hawkins had an impressive 48-yard touchdown run, […]

Week 5 brought us what will go down as one of the most memorable college football games of all time between second-ranked Georgia and fourth-ranked Alabama. The Crimson Tide led 30-7 going into halftime, and 33-15 heading into the fourth quarter. This game was over until it wasn’t, as the rest is now fresh history. […]

It’s been a good last two weeks in the bold predictions column. After sweeping the board in Week 3, one-and-a-half of my three predictions for Week 4 hit.  Tennessee did not run the score up in Norman as I had predicted, but it still won comfortably through stifling Oklahoma’s offensive efforts. We’ll count that as […]

What a Week 4 we had in the world of college football. Friday night’s games were a sign of the fiasco that would come the following day, as Stanford beat Syracuse on the road at the last second and Illinois beat Nebraska at the last second, both as multiple-score underdogs. Saturday started off slow in […]

I’m here to provide bold predictions for Week 4, but I’m also here to victory lap my Week 3 bold predictions going 3-for-3. The Jayhawks fell on their home turf to UNLV on Friday night, Florida State started the season 0-3, and Colorado fired on all cylinders against its in-state rival on Saturday night. Week […]

Week 3’s slate may have been the worst we will see all season, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t love every second of it.  The noon slate started with an Alabama thrashing of Wisconsin in Madison, a nail-biting LSU win in Columbia, yet another Florida State loss, and a boa-constrictor-style win in Missouri. The middle […]

After an exhilarating Week 2 of college football, the Week 3 slate does not look very promising on paper. That does not mean we won’t see some exciting games -- who thought Northern Illinois-Notre Dame would be as fun as it was? Not me, that’s for sure. None of my Week 2 bold predictions came […]
