NCAA Power Ratings/Picks

Power rating picks for every game involving 1-A teams will be available right here every week during the regular season. Ken has been using his own power rating formula since the early 70s. Follow the game picks regularly, and you’ll usually see an accuracy over 70% sometimes approaching 75% picking outright winners.

NCAA Conference Predictions:   

NOTE: Researching when each college football team played it's first game is challenging to say the least. Information available at College Football Data Warehouse (www.collegefootballdatawarehouse.com) has been a real blessing. The theory employed here is that when a team plays its first regular game, that is the actual "birth" of the team. There are questions that do arise and those will be talked about in another section of this site at another time.  When making season predictions, the two major consideration are a progressed (one day for each year of existence-Florida State played its first game in 1947. To see a progressed chart for 2011 we would see where the planets and major points are 64 days after October 18, 1947 in comparison to the positions at birth) declination chart and a transiting declinations for the season. The declinations are where the planets were north or south of the celestial equator at the birth of an event or individual. 

The primary research challenge is to isolate a date when a nickname began. As an example, Florida played several years of football before the name Gators became accepted as the nickname. There has been discussion as to exactly when Gators became official, but in reviewing several charts for football dates in 1908 and the next year or two, October 10, 1908 vibrates very well considering the timing of championship seasons and coaching changes. It seems that one storekeeper was visiting a manufacturer of pennants in 1907 and liked the alligator as a nickname and ordered a bunch and sold them in his store in 1908.  In astrology there is a method for determining the time of birth of an individual called rectification. The best comparison of this procedure would be "back-engineering" (when we hear about all those alien spacecraft that have been recovered and taken to Area 51).  Astrologers will take major events such as marriage, birth of children, divorce, deaths of family members, relocation and major job changes, etc to give us an idea of a rising sign and ultimately a birth time. I like to use the progressed Moon and a graphic declination chart for a rectification. I find it a timesaver.
