The college football season’s regular schedule is 2/3 over. With everyone having concluded at least 8 scheduled games, let’s put a ranking ribbon on it. Let’s get my takes on it before the NCAA Committee posts their official first rankings list on Tuesday night. GEORGIA 8-0 They have broken in their new starters and still look… Read More »
I have been a bit wary of selecting the top teams for this list, primarily because of my concerns regarding transfer portal, NIL and team conference jumping. No doubt these factors will all come into play this football season, but chances are it will be even more of a concern in 2024. So let’s go with the old… Read More »
Yes, it is way too early to get a big snapshot of the FBS rankings for 2022. But then again when the editor (read the boss) requests such a piece, then the time is right. We pretty much know which guys are headed for the pros, but are still a bit away from the secondary deadline day for… Read More »
Here we go folks. I did these rankings late Saturday night as the Michigan game was wrapping up. I have witnesses who will verify that timing. ALABAMA 12-1 Seen this before haven’t we?! Guess I will also add that I have to vote for BRYCE YOUNG/QB as the Heisman Winner. MICHIGAN 12-1 JIM… Read More »
LSU 12-0 And only Georgia left to beat and cement their spot. Ohio State 12-0 It was close for a while, but the Fighting Harbaughs get trounced yet again. Clemson 12-0 ‘We Don’t Get No Respect’, says DABO. We’ve heard that before. Georgia 11-1 If they win this last game with LSU… Read More »
It has been two weeks and as expected some things have changed with upsets and some big showdown games in the books. LSU 10-0 After beating Alabama in the big showdown game the top spot is theirs to keep unless they lose in a serious upset. OHIO STATE 10-0 They just keep rolling along but… Read More »

Here are my Top 15 following Week 10 games last weekend. 1) L.S.U. 8-0 This could cement a Final Four spot for LSU if the take care of business in Tuscaloosa this Saturday, and then don’t stumble… Read More »
As we head all too quickly into the 2018 season Bowl Games, I want to say that I think the Selection Committee pretty much hit the nail on the head this time around. The only thing they might have done better was shock everyone and announce an 8 team field. But in their defense they do not have… Read More »
Time to be a bit more critical of team performances as we head down to the final week of the regular season in D1/FBS football. 1) ALABAMA (11-0) The Citadel surprised ‘Bama by showing up and matching their scores to be tied at 17-17. Then the Crimson Tide woke up and ran away with it. This won’t work… Read More »
Week 11 was pretty quiet at the top of the rankings, but to me once out of the Top 10 there was significant upheaval. With only two full weeks left for most teams in FBS action, everyone should be on the alert for a few upsets, and watching your favorite players in the Heisman race. 1) ALABAMA 10-0… Read More »
I am going to confine my October and December rankings to a Top 15. Not enough key games in the record book yet to go for a full 25. Also please remember that I like to reward unbeaten teams in my first rankings or two, even though I may firmly believe some of them will not be worthy… Read More »
1) CLEMSON 12-1 One slip when their QB got hurt has been forgotten with dominant play in November. Best all-around team in the country, especially on the defensive side of the ball. 2) OKLAHOMA 12-1 One early slip and a Defense which has problems against teams that pass as well their own Offense. But their Offense is just… Read More »
