Former Michigan QB Brandon Peters (1,884 Yds, 18 Tds, 8 Int) is one of them. Most of the offensive line, several sill position players and a handful of defensive contributors do as well. Wisconsin just…

The Coastal Carolina….umm….Chanticleers? Whatever that is, they field a real QB in Grayson McCall (728 Yds, 9 Tds, 1 Int, 66.7%) a real running game with a collection of backs and McCall (139 Rush/Yds, 2 Tds) contributes. The offensive line has only given up…

-Originally published 10/7/20- The best week of college football yet. Four Top-25 matchups with at least a couple that should be really competitive. The Red River Rivalry game will be a shootout and we have potential for several upsets with the matchups provided. There will be several good games between non-ranked teams too. Louisville/Georgia Tech on Friday night should be good between the young Yellow Jackets and the Cards that have had a rough start to the season. Pittsburgh/Boston College…

BYU QB Zack Wilson isn’t throwing a large volume with the run game averaging almost 250 yards-per-game, but he’s efficient completing over 78% of his attempts. The defense has 9 sacks. Louisiana Tech hung 66 points on…

-Originally published 9/27/20- The SEC has started play and now the BIG 10, Pac 12, MAC, and Mountain West all have plans in place to join the party. The new top-25 AP and coaches poll dropped with controversy. Some voters chose to add the Big 10 and Pac 12 to the rankings despite the face they won’t play for over a month yet and some didn’t, really discombobulating the polls. Now let’s back it up a moment, we’ve seen a…

-Originally published 9/25/20- Week 2 Picks: 7-1Week 3 Picks: 7-2 (North Carolina/Charlotte post-phoned)Cumulative: 14-3The SEC joins the party this week and we have match-ups that could be interesting. Florida/Ole Miss, Kentucky/Auburn, and Mississippi State/LSU could all be games on upset watch. We’ll get some competitive games in Louisville/Pittsburg, Army/Cincinnati, West Virginia/Oklahoma State, Florida State/Miami, and Troy/BYU. D’Eriq Kin of Miami is must-watch television, but keep an eye on QB Jarret Doege in the West Virginia game. He could be an…

-Originally published 9/18/20- Week 2 Picks: 7-1 (First week with Power 5 teams) This week is largely void of major games with a handful of ranked teams playing weaker non-conference opponents. If you have fall house chores to get done or want to hit the cider mill early, this is the week. Just check out Miami @ Louisville Saturday night. The Cards will probably host College Game Day as the most competitive game on the slate. The SEC joins the football…

-Originally published 9/12/20- UAB @ Miami Star quarterback transfer D’Eriq King makes his Miami debut against a decent non-power 5 opponent. The offense was one of the worst in college football last season, but should immediately turn the corner with the former Houston Cougar at the helm as a true duel threat. Stud DE Gregory Rousseau (19.5 Sacks) opted out for the season, but Temple transfer Quincy Roche will provide an adequate replacement. UAB has gone 28-13 in the three…

-Originally published 8/7/20- The SEC West was already home to coaching stars Nick Saban at Alabama, Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M and newly certified superstar Ed Orgeron at LSU after his 2019 championship season. A trio that embodies winning and personality, but when Mississippi and Mississippi State cleaned out their coaching staffs after 2019 arguably the two biggest personalities in college football rolled into the division. Mississippi brought in Lane Kiffin who has spent the past few years of his…

-Originally published 8/7/20- Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) and Justin Fields (Ohio State) have already received exhausting coverage as the top college quarterbacks going into 2020. Both juniors will leave early and be top-5 NFL draft picks next season. What I find more exciting, is the freshmen quarterbacks that were trusted to perform last season and will be in the college game for at least two more seasons. Bo Nix – Auburn Auburn coach Gus Malzahn entrusted Box Nix against #11 Oregon…
