The Week that Was – Recap of Week 1 2014

Posted: September 2, 2014 1. The first Quest trip of the year got off to a lovely start (picture as much sarcasm as possible and then multiply by 100). Eleven of us sat in the Swamp for 5 hours and saw 10 seconds of football. Thank you mother nature. I can’t fault the...

Week 1 2014 Preview – Pondering the Future

Posted: August 27, 2014 1. The Quest begins Week 1 with the annual Gainesville trip, family in tow. Here’s to hoping it does not cost as much as last years trip to Syracuse….too late! But on the plus side, the kids first Gator game. Let’s hope it’s not another Georgia...

Al’s 2014 College Football Predictions

August 27, 2014 Everyone has their predictions, so why not me as well? I’m going to take a different spin on things, adding a little CollegeFootballQuest flavoring to my mix on some of them, and of course, not pick this years champion: Charlie Weis has to go. I am not...

My Preseason Top 25 Poll – 2014

Posted: August 25, 2014 I now present the definitive Top 25 preseason poll. I polled all one of me, tabulated the results, and now present my top 25 poll. This poll is based on who I think are the better teams. In my opinion, a higher ranked team would beat a lower...

Week 12 Preview

Posted: November 13, 2013 Ball State at Northern Illinois – The 9-1 Cardinals take on the 9-0 Huskies. 15th ranked offense versus 8th ranked offense, by points scored. Both teams are undefeated in the MAC. The MAC is certainly giving us a game to watch this week. Can...

Week 10 Recap

Posted: November 6, 2013 USC at Oregon State – The Trojans continue to impress since the firing of Lane Kiffin winning three of four games. USC is playing like I expected them to when I predicted an 8-1 conference record and winning the Pac12 South. I guess I did not...

Week 10 Preview

Posted: October 31, 2013 USC at Oregon State – A rare Friday night match up of not horrible teams. This game should be entertaining and fun to watch. There is nothing of immediate importance in this game but neither team is out of the race in their respective...

Week 8 Recap

Posted: October 22, 2013 Wow what a week. Six of the top 12 teams go down, with three losing to unranked teams. Things in the SEC looked upside down with Tennessee, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Auburn, and Ole Miss winning while Florida, Texas A&M, Georgia, South...

Week 7 Recap

Posted: October 16, 2013 Oregon at Washington – As expected, the Huskies did not get blown out, but the Ducks win comfortably. Washington is a program headed in the right direction, but they just cannot compete with the elite of the Pac12….yet. Oregon just needs...

Week 7 Preview

Posted: October 10, 2013 Rutgers at Louisville – This is the first game of the back to back gauntlet that will define the Cardinals season. This week Rutgers, next week UCF. These are the toughest games on the Cards schedule. And they are 19 point favorites. Nice...

Week 6 Recap

Posted: October 8, 2013 I did not have the opportunity to watch any games prior to 8pm as CollegeFootballQuest was in Syracuse this weekend and I was accompanied by my wife and kids. So, some of this recap is based on heresay and highlights. Texas @ Iowa State –...

Week 6 Preview

Posted: October 2, 2013 UCLA at Utah – This game should have some points. These are two explosive offenses both scoring over 40 ppg and UCLA is over 50 ppg. UCLA looks to get off to a 4-0 start, while the Utes are 3-1 themselves. This could be whoever had the ball...

Week 5 Recap

Posted: October 1, 2013 Miami at South Florida – I only mention this game because South Florida may be the worst team in D1. This game was 49-7 at one point. I bet Coach Taggert misses WKU right about now. Oklahoma State at West Virginia – Huge bounce back win for WVU...
