Adam and Eve were the first to ignore Apple's terms and conditions. We all know what happened to them. FBS coaches who similarly overlook their FCS opponents are facing similar woes, especially in these days of rising success of FCS teams. Consider: In just the first week of last season, no fewer than FIVE FCS … Continue reading Perils and pratfalls of FBS vs FCS
Meet Bo Nix, Auburn’s freshman quarterback
Much has been made of the quarterback battle at Auburn between redshirt freshman Joey Gatewood and pure freshman Bo Nix. Gatewood fans will tell you that Joey's arrival on campus a year ago came with a parade of praise that he was the second coming of Cam Newton, what with his canon arm and rugged … Continue reading Meet Bo Nix, Auburn’s freshman quarterback
Coach Gary Anderson: boom or bust at Utah State?
Gary Anderson has had one of the more interesting histories among the 130 FBS head coaches. He’s been from Southern Utah to Utah State to Wisconsin to Oregon State to Utah (assistant) and now back to Utah State.

A quick look at the 2019 FBS coaches
As we grind our way toward preseason rankings for all FBS teams, we have come to the important review of coaches.

Well, Savvy got it right --- just --- not right-right. Savvy predicted that Clemson would topple mighty Alabama. What it didn't forsee was the 28-point margin nor the paltry 60 total points. The system had expected 75 but Alabama fell all over itself and we came up short. Indeed, Alabama is better than it showed … Continue reading 2018 final top-25
2018 national championship prediction
The postseason is like a rodeo. Lots of action, unpredictable disorder, teams bucking every trend that they so arduously set during the season, and never knowing if the good guy or the bronco is going to win---or in modern times, if the good guy is even going to show up. The Savvy Index rounded off … Continue reading 2018 national championship prediction
Who is the best of the FCS?
Now that we're nearing the midway point of the college football season, we thought it might be helpful to post our top-25 for FCS teams. It isn't a surprise that North Dakota State tops our list, but it's five-point margin for more than two weeks is unprecedented on Savvy. Rhode Island has made the biggest … Continue reading Who is the best of the FCS?
Some will dance to remember
from the archive of 2018 There are always plenty of five-stars living it up in Hotel Southern California, but deciding on a new quarterback at USC seems akin to premier night in Hollywood. Like, spotlights and hoopla and national attention. Or like the peculiar and shallow hand-wringing that precedes announcement of the prom king. It … Continue reading Some will dance to remember
