Week 13 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

I don’t blame Nick Saban. His team was up 35-7 with just three minutes to go before halftime and while they weren’t going to blow that lead against Mississippi State, there was really no need to remove his starting QB before halftime. Who benches their starters before halftime? Then again, Baylor blew a 28-3 lead against Oklahoma also on Saturday so the unpredictability of every game can’t be doubted.

Week 12 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

It’s really a marvel in this day and age for teams in a power conference to be undefeated two weeks into November. I don’t care if your schedule is soft (a la Clemson’s), no team is immune from a letdown here or there.

Week 11 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

Dare I say last Saturday was NOT a good one for me. UofA (no I will never refer to my alma mater as UArizona) got smoked by a lousy Oregon State team on Homecoming and I suffered probably the worst bad betting beat in years!

Week 10 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

I always feel badly calling for someone else to be fired from their job. But the truth is – no matter your profession, if you aren’t cutting it, it’s time for you to go. D-day finally happened for Arizona Wildcats’ defensive coordinator Marcel Yates, whose lackluster schemes were being torched by seemingly everyone in the Pac-12 for the last several years.

Week 9 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + Breaking Down the Heisman Race

Coming into the 2019 college football season, the Heisman Trophy race looked to be an easy choice among the last two National Championship winning QBs, Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama) and Trevor Lawrence (Clemson). But Lawrence has failed to impress and Tua’s high ankle sprain last Saturday figures to sideline / hamper him for weeks.

Week 8 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + Revising my Pac-12 Predictions

We’re halfway through the Pac-12 season and therefore it’s time to re-evaluate my preseason picks. I seem to have been fairly accurate thus far about most teams except for one notable exception: the ASU Sun Devils.

Week 7 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

I’ll admit it…I gave up on my Arizona Wildcats’ season after they lost the opener to Hawaii. The team played like garbage for most of the 60 minutes and honestly the score and end result was likely closer than the overall game itself.

Week 6 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks + October Contenders / Pretenders

October: The time to separate the contenders from the pretenders in college football. Which teams are undefeated solely due to a generous early season schedule? And which ones are the true College Football Playoff contenders?

Week 5 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

If there’s one thing I hate about college football year-in, year-out, it’s the preseason polls. Continually they reward subpar teams early in the season for having name recognition (Michigan and Texas A&M are examples this year) while penalizing teams (i.e. Kansas State) who weren’t expected to be as successful this season.

Week 4 CFB ‘Expert’ Picks

Hey college football…why did it take 4 weeks to have a truly compelling week of games, several of which are conference matchups? Michigan-Wisconsin. YES! Auburn-Texas A&M. YES! Utah-USC. YES! Even Florida-Tennessee and Oregon-Stanford are marquee matchups though the Vols and Cardinal are off to uncharacteristic rough starts this season.
