And then there was one, because I refuse to believe Iowa, much less Cincinnati, is in the same universe as Georgia (or still Alabama). But you can't deny even lying eyes forever. Or at least up to week 7. But the search is for who is really the second best team in the country right now. Is it...

Sorry for the delay in getting this up, but you would not believe the research necessary to compute my standings going into this weekend. This was honestly the toughest evaluation I've ever had to run in the 3-4 years I've been putting these together. Ladies, gentlemen, and Bud, may I present...

See, I told you guys I needed one more week, as many of the upsets confirmed a few hunches that I would have had to write about about and now I don't. Anyway, it's still a bit early to have garnered any deep insights, but first impressions do count for something. Here's what I've got for this...

Unlike Texas and Nebraska, this comeback is for real folks! After a hiatus last season, when there was no feasible way of truly determining what made a good representation of the college football landscape, this year we're gonna kick it back into gear and run a weekly* poll from now until the...

Merry Christmas everyone! Here it is, that last present that fell behind the tree that nobody found until the next day, the seeding and bracketing of our 16 team tournament! A lot of time and effort went into this one, and as far as I can recall there hasn't been a tighter field than there was...

So, some law schools have midterms and the one I just started at is one of those. I figure if football teams can take a bye week, than so can I. As I am sure you were all on the edge of your seats, fingers hovering over the left mouse button, constantly refreshing that page last week I am here...

Waaaaay late to the party this week. A big conference and some work commitments prevented me from giving this the time I normally spend on the project, so just a quick poll heading into week 5. Last week's is ---> Right Here The Top Sixteen Alabama--Doubled up a ranked A&M team at home...

Couple of top 5 teams go down from last week, quite a few ranked teams had games that were postponed or cancelled due to Hurricane Florence. Still only at 16 in the rankings after week 3, but most teams move into conference play starting week 4 so maybe there'll be more to write about. Get to...

The regular season has come to an end, Notre Dame's hopes for a decent bowl are dashed, the SEC is so extremely overrated its not even funny anymore, and I bet Stanford really really regrets not changing their QB sooner. That loss to SDSU in week 2 is the only thing keeping them from having a...

This is it boys and girls, the final regular season poll. It's been a tough slog from Sept 20 when I put up the first rankings after the first 3 games. Here's where we started and here's where we ended up last time I put this together: click I have a bit of a soapbox I'd like to step on, and I...

There's two ways to look at this past weekend of college football. Everything either became a little more solid as far as the post season looks, or the gates of chaos have been blown down and things have become as clear as mud. Suddenly the SEC East looks like garbage, and the SEC West looks...

All quiet this week. As far as I could tell, the closest call came with the Pokes going into OT in Austin, and the Texas QB just made the absolute dumbest decision you can make in that situation. I think I was also justified in dropping Michigan out of the poll a couple of weeks ago. The Pac-12...

If you thought there was movement last week, we went through the seemingly annual spate of huge upsets with the top teams. In fact Clemson went down just a few hours after I got the post up. Dabo Sweeney was on record saying that he was not at all a fan of Friday night games. After what...

There was a bit of moving and shaking going on last weekend at the top of college football. Some teams have shown that they are who I thought they were. Starting next week we can start talking playoffs, as a whole bunch of teams will become bowl eligible this weekend. Kidding, I'm not going to...

Blowout was the word of the day in College Football last weekend (with two upsets of varying degree). I don't have much of a lead in, except that any person, with or without a pulse, is welcome to provide input on any and all future polls, just get me your picks sometime before Wednesday and...

Sorry for the delay, busy work week. But it's ok! No contributions were made (even with the extra two days) so again, this poll reflects nothing but my opinions and research and arbitrary rules that I make up as I go along. Speaking of arbitrary rules, I have a standing one that says teams on...

Another season, another three months of me spending a couple hours each Wednesday evening putting together my College Football poll. Anybody who would want to is welcome to participate, and I don't care how many teams you rank. This week I only did 16, and didn't do a bottom group like I've...

Hello hello hello everyone! We are about one week away from the open of the 2016 college football season, and that means the return of my wondrous and highly acclaimed* poll: the WSTT20&BF. I would be very happy to have contributors this year. As much as I love doing the poll, it takes a...

I finished the first part! Presented below is how the conference champions will be seeded for my 16-team NCAA Football playoff. For my tournament, the first two rounds are played at the campus location of the higher seed. Last two rounds are done with the bowl set up we have now. Teams are...
