Ohio State took a huge tumble, Oklahoma survived a Bedlam shootout, and several other top teams maintained their position for the College Football Playoffs. We have a couple 2-loss teams lurking but really needing major help this weekend and beyond. Top 11 1 Georgia (E, 9-0, 24-10 W vs. South Carolina) The Dawgs stay perfect [...]
Except for the upset in Ames we saw a lot of favorites win this weekend which led to a lot of the same teams in the rankings just shuffled up in a different order. Things are getting a little clearer with plenty of football remaining. Top 11 1 Georgia (+1, 8-0, 42-7 W vs. Florida) [...]
It's time for Notre Dame fans to start caring a lot more about the order of this and other polls. Last week we found our first lively discussion about the slotting of teams with just another week to go until the first official College Football Playoff Poll is unveiled. Let's get to it. Top 11 [...]
Straight up massive carnage during Notre Dame's bye week finally brings our first week of true disagreement over the polls. Now the college football season has really begun! Oh, but hey Alabama is still atop the world. So not too much has changed. Top 11 1 Alabama (+1, 7-0, 41-9 W vs. Arkansas) Through 7 [...]
The bulk of our rankings remained stable through week six with the exception of a pair of delicious upsets in Ann Arbor and Norman. This has caused a little bit of shifting but the top of the polls are still intact. Top 11 1 Clemson (E, 6-0, 28-14 W vs. Wake Forest) Dinged up Kelly [...]
In my game recap of Notre Dame's win over Miami (OH) some discussions broke out about former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson. That got me thinking about Dat Boy Swinney and I noticed he has a very similar record to Lou Holtz at Notre Dame. The Clemson Tigers are so hot right now. Top 11 1 [...]
We were really close to having 3 teams drop hard down our rankings. As it happened, a Big Ten team made a furious late-drive comeback and survived in a tough road environment. A team from the SEC and Big 12 were far less fortunate. Top 11 1 Alabama (+2, 4-0, 59-0 W at Vanderbilt) Tide [...]
It's our third poll since the season began and each week a new No. 1 has ascended to the top spot of our rankings. We've seen two prospective title contenders (FSU & OSU) lose early and yet the top of the poll still feels fresh and fun as ever. Top 11 1 Clemson (+2, 3-0, [...]
We've had 2 full days to move on from the Notre Dame loss, it's time to take a look at the rest of the country and march towards another weekend of football. We now have a new No. 1 in the 18 Stripes weekly poll! Top 11 1 Oklahoma (+5, 2-0, 31-16 W at Ohio [...]
It feels so good to have college football back in our lives. This new weekly feature will offer an updated poll, the bad teams from last weekend, and a preview of week two. Let's get to the good stuff. Top 11 1 Alabama (+1, 1-0, 24-7 W vs. FSU) Offense didn't look great against a [...]
In the past we've run a weekly college football poll and for 2017 I wanted to try something different. This year I'm calling it our Top 11+2+3 poll and it's pretty simple so let me briefly explain. When you combine the playoff teams plus the NY6 bowl games for Power 5 programs there are 11 [...]
