Where Sports Are For Fans, Not Owners
The AAC is really trying to prove their point in calling themselves a "Power 6" conference as their top teams dominate these rankings. Though Boise State seems to control their own destiny to get to a New Years Six bowl game, if they went undefeated and SMU or Cincinnati won out you could make an... Continue Reading →
As it turns out, UCF really is vulnerable. They finally suffered a regular-season loss, and in their next tough game, they lost again. That allowed Boise State to stretch their lead atop the Group of 5, though perhaps Cincinnati off that win over the Knights is their next challenger. For the foreseeable future, the AAC...

It was another fun weekend of college football, even if things were a bit more tame this week than last. We saw some standout performances in conference openers, with teams trying to announce early that they're here for the conference title. To view last week's rankings that followed the commotion of week four, click here. To... Continue Reading →
Wow. What a week of college football.

Week one saw a mix of nothing-to-prove games and some Group of 5 teams knocking off Power 5 opponents. There were also some embarrassing losses and concerningly close wins in games that should have been easy wins for some teams, but through one week, not much has changed as far as our perception of most...

Here we go. It's time for another season of college football, and while a lot of people focus on the teams vying for a National Championship, it's important to remember the smaller conferences and think about their division races and conference championship hunts and watch out for teams to take down a Power 5 conference...

If the playoff is expanding to 8 teams, why would we need to restrict how many major conferences there are? Everyone seems... Continue Reading →
