  • Week 9 College Football Picks

    Season record: 13-16-1 Last week: 4-2 (Pittsburgh -3.5, Iowa State/Texas Tech over 55.5, LSU -18.5, Navy -14, Ole Miss +6.5, Penn State -9) Week 8 was my best week so far. Pittsburgh got it started off Friday night, and I was undefeated through the Navy game. Ole Miss fell just short of the number, losing 24-17 in a very competitive…

  • Week 8 College Football Picks

    Season record: 9-14-1 Last week: 2-3 (Michigan -21.5, Oklahoma -10.5, Clemson -27, Michigan State/Wisconsin under 40.5, Missouri -11.5) It was another less than stellar week for me. All the teams I picked won, but did not cover their respective spreads. That is the tricky part of picking favorites. Onward we go…   Pittsburgh Panthers (4-2) @ Syracuse Orange (3-3)…

  • Week 7 College Football Picks

    Season record: 7-11-1 Last week: 1-4 (Oklahoma State/Texas Tech over 63.5, Louisville -6.5, Auburn -3, West Virginia +10.5, SMU -13) Well, an Oklahoma State game finally went over, but that was the extent of my success last week. Hopefully I can bounce back this week.   Michigan Wolverines (4-1) @ Illinois Fighting Illini (2-3) | October 12 |…

  • Week 6 College Football Picks

    Season record: 6-7-1 Last week: 4-1 (Michigan -27.5, Arkansas +23.5, SMU +7.5, Florida State -5.5, Kansas State/Oklahoma State over 60) Now that is more like it. The 4-1 week has me moving in the right direction, but another Oklahoma State game did not go over. I usually give recaps, but I will get right into it. I want winners,…

  • Week 5 College Football Picks

    Season record: 2-6-1 Last week: 2-3 (Tulane -5, Wisconsin -3.5, Texas A&M -3.5, Central Florida -12.5, Texas/Oklahoma State over 73) I was able to get into the win column, but it was not easy. I am still below .500 on the year, so there is plenty of work to be done. It was a wild…

  • Week 4 College Football Picks

    Season record: 0-3-1 Last week: 0-3-1 (Boston College -21, Arkansas State +33, Alabama -24.5, Kentucky +8) Well, I certainly did not get off to a good start. It all started when Kansas putting a whooping on 21-point favorite Boston College. The Kansas offense took flight for the first time this year as they put up…

  • SEC Hot Seats Week 3

    Week 2 was an opportunity for SEC Hot Seats coaches to stymie their critics and get a victory. While some did, others did not. As for one who did not… After an ugly week one loss to Georgia State, more disappointment was in the cards for the Volunteers. Jeremy Pruitt and Tennessee are off to an 0-2…

    Week 3 College Football Picks

    Welcome back to Nado’s Notions! I wanted to spend the first two weeks actually watching football before I put my name on anything. Of course this week’s slate is mostly crap, but I will try my best to make the most of it. Kansas Jayhawks (1-1) @ Boston College Eagles (2-0) | September 13 |…

  • SEC Hot Seats Week 2

    One week into the season and things are already heating up across the SEC. Let’s get right to it! Gus Malzahn and Auburn were fortunate to pull out a victory over Oregon in Arlington on Saturday night. Freshman quarterback Bo Nix threw two interceptions in the first half as the offense struggled throughout the first half.…

  • SEC Hot Seats Preseason

    College football is back, which means we need to take a look at who is on the hot seat in the SEC. The 2018 season was quite unusual since no coaches were fired (credit to me for punting on SEC Hot Seats 2018 early on). However, this season should be different and here are the…
