The Daily blog will be undergoing some changes in the coming months now that the college football season is complete. Starting this week I will be going to a Monday, Wednesday and weekend blog format until magazine season is over in late spring/early summer. Today's blog will give you the teams with the longest winning/losing streaks overall, home and away in college football. This Saturday and Sunday I will give you my forecasts for the NFL divisional games played that day including my computer's projected box score of the games. Next week will feature my projection of what the Preseason AP top 10 will be for 2010 and that will be coming after January 15th when juniors have to declare or not declare for the NFL Draft.
