Welcome to the Sickos Committee’s Weather, Travel & Football Master Almanac Notebook aka the SCWTFMAN.

Here in our SCWTFMAN we will attempt to forecast the upcoming 2023 college football season by using our Sickos Committee alert system. We’re going to do this in the Farmer’s Almanac style. If you don’t know what a Farmers' Almanac is, basically it provides long-range weather predictions for both the U.S. and Canada. We will be applying our forecast to all of Division I in the United States. We’re trying to predict what the upcoming season holds for all Division I teams in college football using our Sickos Committee Weather Alert System.

Will these previews be long winded and incredibly in depth? No.

Will these previews be mostly based on “vibes” as assessed by the Sickos Committee weather forecasters? Yes. 

Here’s all of our FCS Previews below:

The SCWTFMAN for the Big Sky Conference, The SCWTFMAN for the Coastal Athletic Conference, The SCWTFMAN for the Big South - Ohio Valley Alliance and Ivy League, The SCWTFMAN for the Missouri Valley Football Conference, The SCWTFMAN for the MEAC and SWAC, The SCWTFMAN for the NEC and Patriot League, The SCWTFMAN for the Southland Conference, The SCWTFMAN for The FCS Independents... Just Kennesaw State , The SCWTFMAN for the Pioneer Football League , The SCWTFMAN for the Southern Conference aka the SoCon, The SCWTFMAN for the UAC.

You know we did some sort in depth previews for the entire FCS but for the FBS, let’s change it up a bit. The season is almost here and why not do a preview for every FBS team in seven words or less while we rate them as a Sickos Warning, Watch or Advisory on vibes alone. We hope you enjoy.
