2026 CFB Season

[Rstewart]

CFB in 2026 is just the jr NFL.
Any team can beat any team any given Saturday.

I guess it's more interesting 🤷🏻🤷🏻

As a Bamer it kinda sucks 😄

USC BEFORE the game should have been at least in the top 25. Agreed, that was confusing to me.

[CNCAppsJames]

I KNOW my team isn't Top 10 material. Hasn't been for quite some time. Totally cool with that reasonable assessment. But when they went unranked... that... that was just pure spite. Nothing more. 

[Rstewart]

It'd be real cool if we could pay college kids wild money with almost no rules to play football and let them choose where to play.

If you make the argument that ND hasn't beat anybody good and therefore deserves to be ranked #11, how do you rank IU at #4?

How the fuck is Alabama #5 and Tennessee is #13?

I was just talking to someone today about this.  I said in what world can you lose two games and still be ranked #5 lol.  It's crazy and I'm an Alabama fan.  Most decent teams have two losses now, some that don't play anyone worth a shit have one loss.  Who are the REAL talented teams?  I can't tell you.  Miami is overrated and play no one, ND has a loss and play fuck-all. Ga has taken losses, Fuckeyes have taken losses, I mean KY may be a top three team.

Who do you rank in the top 10?  Strength of schedule has changed BIG time, CFB is WAY different than two years ago.

The AP Poll is dog shit. 

[Rstewart]

Well, I called most of it right this weekend.

Miami Blows

Fuckeyes Got beat on

Alabama proved their spot in the polls

Utah is a really good team

GA is still good

But KY, WTF???

The AP Poll is dog shit.

Might be a good time to jump ship. Utes looking good and they didn't change their name. Whats not to like, unless your a kommie at heart.

USC Trojans until I die.  

Great Grandpa played football there.

I guess I would challenge, what else should we go by?  This year is jacked for sure.


Won't make a hill of beans next year, no conference games and 10,000 bowl games $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I guess we could go by the popularity contest method. Oh wait, that's what we have now.

Get a concensus Top 25 ( no rankings) then pull school names from a hat at the end of the season.

Com' on James, do you really think we have a popularity contest?  Have you watched CFB this year?  Don't listen to me, ask someone with more experience to rank the teams, see what you get.

How would you rank them?  I'll go after you

I do think we have a popularity contest. How else do you explain how certain teams seem to drop in ranking even when they win?

Teams that never, or almost never drop when they win; Notre Shame, Ohio State, Alabama, Michigan and a few others that escape me at the moment. Certain teams ALWAYS drop more spots than others in a loss. Perfect example... USC lost to Oregon early on. They dropped 11 spots. Ohio State lost to USC by a wider margin and only dropped 9. It's been that way at least since the early 2000's.

I only watch CFB every Saturday...

The ranking is really only relevant because CFB Playoffs are on the line and they only take the top 12. I'm not saying USC should be in there necessarily... yet... I think they are somewhere between 15 and 20 ATM. I have a feeling even if they beat Indiana (unlikely) by a small margin, they'd only move up like 2 spots and Indiana would only drop 3 MAX... depending on what happened with the rest of the top 10 of course.

We'll see what happens against fUCLA and Indiana and I'll reassess.

Far be it from me to defend IU, but dropping 5 spots after a bye week when there are teams that lost who only dropped 4 does show a certain bias.
