Where Sports Are For Fans, Not Owners
For the second straight year, Georgia Southern knocked off a ranked App State team. Last year, it was an embarrassing 34-14 loss in Statesboro, Georgia. This time, no one saw another upset coming in Boone, but the Eagles didn't care, knocking off the Mountaineers by a final score of 24-21. Georgia Southern now controls their... Continue Reading →
It was a big weekend in college football, but for many of the top Group of 5 teams, it was kind of a snoozefest. The UCF-Temple and Utah State-Air Force matchups ended up being disappointing, and though the Tulane-Navy game ended up a thriller and Memphis got all they could handle from Tulsa, it wasn't...

It was a week full of upsets, blowouts, and disappointments in college football this weekend, and we're here to try to look past that mess and see where the Group of 5's top teams stand heading into week nine. To view last week's rankings, that are very different than the list we have now, click here.... Continue Reading →
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 great weekend of college football, and our Group of 5 Ranked Matchup of the Week (very unofficial) turned out to be a great game. That, for those of you who missed last week's rankings (which you can read here), was the Ohio at Marshall game. There was plenty of other exciting football this... Continue Reading →
It was another wild weekend of college football. We saw a few teams on this list get throttled, a few excelled, and a lot of teams turned in performances that were just good enough. There were also two teams on the bubble last week for beating a Power 5 opponent who then struggled with an... Continue Reading →
Last week saw a few major games between teams vying for places among the top of the group of 5 conferences, the biggest probably being the Friday night game between Fresno State and Boise State. Between that game, Troy winning at Georgia Southern, Cincinnati taking down USF, and some upsets, we have some adjustments to... Continue Reading →
In the week 11 rankings for the 2018 college football season, the AP Poll had UCF ranked #11, Utah State was #14, Fresno State was #16 and Cincinnati was #25. The AP Poll also had small conference teams UAB, San Diego State, Army, Buffalo, Boise State and Houston in others receiving votes. There is no... Continue Reading →
Everyone seems to think the future of college football will have 4 so-called superconferences with 16 teams each that will be essentially what the Power 5 are now. To which I say, why? If the playoff is expanding to 8 teams, why would we need to restrict how many major conferences there are? Everyone seems... Continue Reading →
