We are now down to seven Power 5 teams with unblemished records following Oklahoma's upset loss in the Little Apple. It took longer than usual to begin shaking up the top of the rankings but it's happening as we tumble towards another edition of the College Football Playoffs. But first, a recap of this past [...]

The ranks of the undefeated shrank once again over the weekend. Wisconsin faltered on the road as major favorites against Illinois, providing a fresh shake up to the Big Ten if not the national picture as a whole. As we wait for a couple titanic matchups (Alabama vs. LSU and Ohio State vs. Penn State) [...]

It finally happened. One of the top teams in the country went down in a major upset this past weekend and shook up the polls at least a little bit. The Georgia Bulldogs inexplicably tripped up against South Carolina and now are forced to run the table and hope a playoff spot still awaits. The [...]

This past weekend saw the first big ball to drop in the SEC and for the national picture. As per the usual breakdown, a few teams in the back half of the rankings fell as the top half continues to be remarkably consistent. However, we did shuffle a few teams around even with several byes [...]

Mack Brown was so close to bringing utter chaos to the college football world on Saturday. Instead of kicking the extra point late against Clemson, the Tar Heels attempted a 2-point conversion for the win that sadly did not work. Alas, back to the drawing board for the big upsets that mark each season in [...]

Most of us missed it as Pac-12 After Dark provided an absolutely bonkers 67-63 comeback win for UCLA over Washington State. The Cougs' quarterback Anthony Gordon famously throwing 9 touchdowns in a loss. Chip Kelly is back, baby! That's a tough, tough loss for Mike Leach who led by 32(!!) and blew a precious league [...]

It was a quiet week atop the rankings and a tough week for Notre Dame's friends in the Atlantic Coast Conference. That league may still have the defending champs and the odds-on favorite to repeat in their title quest but the rest of the conference is looking awfully rough right now. The Week's Biggest Loser: [...]

While Notre Dame enjoyed some cheeseburgers most of the rest of the country battled it out on the gridiron. Last week we learned the bottom of the SEC had a rough start, however, week two brought us the return quite possibly of a dominant LSU program that hasn't really been an elite team since 2011. [...]

Welcome to the recap of the first full week of college football. It wasn't exactly a wild ride of a week for some of the stronger team and yet there were plenty of fun and entertaining games littered through Monday's action. While the top teams in the SEC fared well others in the lower regions [...]

College Football kicked off this past Saturday night with a highly viewed Week 0 matchup between Florida and Miami that was as sloppy as it was entertaining. Another Power 5 conference team also got their season started way off in the island of Hawaii and didn't fare so well. As we head into the first [...]

We are mere hours away from the start of the 2019 college football season as week 0 kicks off on Saturday with a matchup between a pair of Florida programs. Therefore, it's time to unveil the pre-season 18 Stripes Top 20 poll. But first, let's take a look back at my pre-season rankings from a [...]

Hello, and welcome to another season of college football. This is my 11th campaign covering the Fighting Irish where does the time go? I'm continuing to tweak my weekly picks and poll. Last season, I tried out the Top 11+2+3 type of a ranking system that listed the top 11 Power 5 teams, the next [...]
