It’s become a yearly tradition here on the blog. We get a good laugh at how inaccurate ESPN’s FPI is as predictor and actual rankings system. We laughed in 2015 and we laughed in 2016. Let’s laugh again in 2017, as Ohio State who I’d personally ranked around 12 or 13, are the number 1 team …

While the playoff committee doesn’t rank the power 5 conference, there is no way conference strength – which means OOC results doesnt figure in to a committee members thought process.

Winners Clemson – They look like they could reach the playoffs again. The defense looks like the country’s best and they totally stuffed Auburn Saturday night. The front 4 is scary good. Duke – This is a team to watch. Duke routed a pretty decent Northwestern team 41-17. Daniel Jones continues to get better and …

I was wondering where to go with this post-game article on Virginia Tech vs West Virginia. Do I praise Justin Fuente for reviving the Virginia Tech program? He deserves it, but I think we know Virginia Tech is in good hands with Fuente. What about asking if Virginia Tech is the ACC Coastal Division favorite …

Dotted across twitter by some FSU fans after a 24-7 loss to Alabama was why play Alabama in game 1? QB Deondre Francois may have suffered a serious knee injury too. We hope it’s not so bad. Was it worth it for Florida State to play Alabama? I think this question is bigger than just …

Everything was there for NC State… They had an experienced QB, some playmakers on offense, and a defensive line many thought was one of the 10 best in college football.
