NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 8

It was another week of chaos, which could be the new normal in college football. Mega conferences have churned up some good regular season games, even if they are cheapened a bit by the expanded playoff. These rankings will vary from the AP ones because I don't go off speculation. I go by what happened […]

Bold Predictions for Week 8 - 2024 College Football

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 […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 6

Week 5 had a couple of big upsets. One of the slumming FBS teams lost to an FCS foe. We had the misfortune of terrible officiating affecting the outcome of not one but two games.

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 5

We had several entertaining games in Week 4. Some teams set themselves apart. Some teams struggled when they shouldn't have *ahem...Missouri* Others got embarrassed by Group of Five teams. This caused a bit of a shakeup in the rankings. These rankings will vary greatly from the AP ones early in the season because I don't […]

College Football Pick'em Pool Picks (Week 5 2024) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for ESPN Pick'em Contests

It was another rough week in the RotoBaller Readers Group. Cjmclean17 is the only one who broke 40 points with 41. Only two more entries hit 35 points. I had an absolute disaster of a week with just 19 points. Ouch! Adding insult to injury is the fact that I got the 10-point pick right. […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 4

Most of the Week 3 fireworks happened on Friday night. There was a redemption of sorts for Kentucky and SEC teams establishing dominance outside of the conference. That will affect the rankings some and will cause mine to get closer to the AP Poll that everyone seems to love. These rankings will vary greatly from […]

DraftKings Main CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (9/14/24)

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 3

Whereas the first week of the 2024 season was mostly devoid of upsets, we had a couple of big ones in Week 2. Sure, they're less important with the expanded playoff, but it's still fun to root for the little guys (especially if you bet them outright). These rankings will vary greatly from the AP […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 1

There were only two FBS vs. FBS games in "Week 0," so this article is going to be as ridiculous as the week. Don't blame me. Blame the NCAA for making Week 0 a thing to begin with. I'm never one to complain about more college football, but we have a staggering 96 games in […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Preseason

The AP's preseason polls are out, so I figure it's time to release mine as well. Not much has changed since the summer rankings went up at the end of spring practices. A few more players entered the portal with many that were in there choosing new homes. 64% of the more than 3,311 players […]

The Heisman field feels pretty wide open heading into the 2024 season, with several quarterbacks looking to break through the rest of the names and take the trophy.

Top College Football Games You Must Watch In 2024 - NCAA College Football Season Preview

As of July 1, the Pac-12, or "Conference of Champions" as Bill Walton liked to call it, was no more. College football will never be the same. The Power-5 is a Power-4 now with the Big 12 (14) tentatively hanging on to power conference status. Also, 10 teams were thrown into already existing conferences with […]

NCAA College Football Top 25 Power Rankings - End Of Spring 2024 Rankings

We are entering a new era of college football. If you have read what I have written over any of the last two years, you know my feelings on playoff expansion. It cheapens the only great regular season in any sport. Sure, conference realignment is annoying and greedy morons in suits doomed the Pac-12, but […]

2024 NFL Draft - Which College Football Programs Will Have The Most Players Selected?

After a long wait, draft day is finally here.

It is now finally time for the 2024 NFL Draft. With a plethora of offensive talent available, this feels like one of the more loaded draft classes in recent memory from an offensive point of view.

NCAA March Madness Final Four Preview: Purdue vs. North Carolina State

What did I say in my first weekend article about Final Four and championship teams? Something along the lines of, "Anyone can win four games, only a select few can win six." And, I believe, this is going to hold true once more. North Carolina State is on one of the most improbable runs in […]

Final Four Power Rankings and Preview

The Final Four is set to commence in Phoenix, Arizona this coming Saturday, with these four spectacular teams fighting to reach the pinnacle of college basketball: UConn, Alabama, Purdue, and NC State.
