2021 College Football: All-Name Team

This is one of my favorite posts to do every year, but due to all the knowns about the college football season at this point last year, we didn’t compile a list. We are happy to bring this back this year and debut some new names.

What makes a great college football name?

A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.

We went through every team in the top two divisions in the NCAA. We went through ever single name and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.

My name is Bobby Roberts, so of all the people who can write a post poking fun at names, it’s me. I’m always asked if my real name is Robert Roberts (it’s not) or if my name is fake (it’s not).

Here is the 2021-22 college football All-Name team.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 16 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-11 against the spread last week.

I would normally title this week’s college football betting picks as ‘Conference Championship Week’, but due to COVID-19, there are a handful of other games that schools are making up due to them being postponed earlier this season.

Conference championship games can be tricky for teams that are in the driver’s seat for a spot in the College Football Playoff. Teams have been caught overlooking their conference opponents in the past.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 15 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-10 against the spread last week.

There have already been a handful of games cancelled due to COVID-19, and I expect many more will fall into that category before Saturday.

I was really looking forward to the now-cancelled Indiana/Purdue and Ohio State/Michigan games, but for very different reasons. I wanted to see more from IU’s backup quarterback and also see Ohio State blowout a bad Michigan team.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-11 against the spread last week.

I can’t remember the last time that all of my 25 weekly game picks were actually played. There have been so many cancellations every single week due to COVID-19. It could really mess with some of the Big Ten teams since they made a policy that the games wouldn’t be made up.

There aren’t a ton of top-tier marquee games this week, so I’m going to list Liberty vs Coastal Carolina as the best of the week. I want to give props to those small schools who challenged larger programs during this strange season. The Liberty/Coastal Carolina game was cancelled. It appears that BYU will now step in and play Coastal Carolina.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-13 against the spread last week.

There were well over a dozen games cancelled last week, but as of Wednesday night, there are only a few at this time, but that is most likely subject to change.

The first College Football Playoff rankings were released this week. Alabama tops the list with Notre Dame, Clemson, Ohio State and Texas A&M follow in that order.

Can Notre Dame stay among the top teams and win (and cover) against North Carolina?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-9 against the spread last week.

As of Thursday afternoon, there have been 14 college football games wither cancelled or postponed due to COVID-19. My guess is that there will be a couple more cancelled before Saturday.

The marquee game this week is Indiana at Ohio State. Can the Hoosiers shock the country and stay undefeated?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-10-1 against the spread last week.

If you’ve been going hard on underdog moneylines in the Big Ten this season, you probably have enough for a gold boat right now. I think the point spreads have corrected quite a bit since teams like Penn State and Michigan are seeing single-digit point spreads now.

I didn’t notice any glaring point spread miscues in the Pac 12 last week. I think bettors handicapped those teams pretty well. I think they are still a little light on Washington State, but we will see after this week’s game against Oregon.

The marquee game this week is Wisconsin at Michigan. Can the Wolverines avoid starting the year 1-3?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread last week.

The Big Ten has been weird so far. We’ve had teams like Indiana, Rutgers and Michigan State score victories over teams we expected to sail through those games. Maybe those teams have improved greatly since last season, but I doubt we will see Rutgers among the top-tier of teams in the conference at year’s end. Ohio State could be the best team in the conference by a large margin.

The marquee games this week are Florida vs Georgia (in Jacksonville) and Clemson at Notre Dame.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread last week.

I’ve been struggling the last three weeks with my college football picks. I thought the addition of Big Ten games to the schedule would fix my string of bad luck, but nope! Penn State, Michigan State and Iowa all shit the bed in their debuts.

I was impressed by a few Big Ten players last week. Michigan QB Joe Milton didn’t need to showcase much in their win over Minnesota, but he could do some damage with his size and athleticism. I was having Cam Newton flashbacks last weekend.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-12 against the spread last week.

I’m glad to see more potential college football games on the schedule. It was tough gathering 25 games to pick when there were barely 25 games on the schedule.

Big Ten and Mountain West teams are making their season debuts this week. This will add a dozen games to the schedule with a few other conferences due to start in the coming weeks.

Can Ohio State start to receive first-place votes in the polls with a big win against Nebraska?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-12 against the spread last week.

Colleges are still struggling with COVID-19 outbreaks and a few games have already been cancelled/postponed from this weekend’s slate. As of Friday, all of the games I’ve picked are still scheduled to be played, but with positive numbers shooting up, it could still change.

The biggest game this weekend is Georgia at Alabama. It’s a shame that the Tide should be without head coach due to a positive COVID-19 test since this game will play such a huge factor in the SEC landscape.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I didn’t have a good outcome against the spread last week.

I finished 11-14, by far the worst week I’ve had in a couple years. I want to chalk it up to having to pick 25 games from maybe 30 possible games. I usually pick the best 25 games out of maybe 50+ games on a full normal week. I can omit some games that are a bit too close to call. I don’t have that luxury this season, but that should change once some of the other conferences start to play later this Fall.

The marquee game of the week is Miami (FL) at Clemson. Can the Hurricanes upset the #1-ranked Tigers?
