Just a few more weeks hang in the balance, with most teams wrapping up their 10th games of the season over this weekend. We are seeing the field settle itself out as the weeks keep churning along, with the top of the standings becoming increasingly solidified and the field below the top handful of teams becoming increasingly...
With a couple of upsets and a wild comeback keeping things interesting within the Group of Five over Week 11, there is a lot more clarity in some divisions and a lot more confusion as to what might happen in others. This week we winnow down the rankings by one team to 14, as we focus exclusively on those teams that still have a...
This is coming at you late this week for personal reasons, but while we've already seen some weekday Week 11 games take place there is still no logical answer as to why we should not look back at last week's shakedown of the mid-major standings.
Because, in the end, there was a ton of chaos among the Access Bowl hopefuls. By the time...
Even after a wild Week 10 of college football, under the BCS system nothing would have substantively changed in the standings. While teams below them lost on Saturday, Clemson and Ohio State kept churning along. The Tigers and Buckeyes flipped order, but they remain in the top two spots and would square off for the national championship...
Even as chaos overtook the college football landscape in a wild Week 10, the five teams at the top of the Pigskin Rating System team rankings remained exactly the same. Among that crew is three of the five remaining undefeated Power Five teams, with only Oklahoma State (10th) and Iowa (21st) remaining outliers according to the...
Mid-major football teams no longer have to sit and hope that they can overcome the vagaries of the BCS calculations to see whether or not they will merit consideration for a big-time bowl bid. A guaranteed slot now exists for the top Group of Five champion to play in one of the New Year's Six bowl games. But perhaps there will be reason...
Less than 48 hours stand between now and the release of the first College Football Playoff selection committee top 25 rankings for the 2015 season. In less than two days we will find out how the dozen selectors rate the contenders (and who they envision as pretenders) after the first nine weeks of play. What we will never have, though,...
A new team reigns supreme at the top of this week's Pigskin Rating System team rankings here at Sports Unbiased. Despite losing in the Red River Shootout to a Texas team that continues to fall down the standings, Oklahoma has rebounded to win three straight by lopsided scores and vault up the PRS rankings. The Sooners are in a conference...
We are rapidly approaching the first College Football Playoff rankings for the sophomore season for the new world order in the sport. The new system feels like a familiar old friend already, probably because it resembles more closely the bygone era of polls determining everything in the sport.
The 16 years that came in between the...
The order shuffled at the top, but while three of the four find themselves in different positions the names in the the first four slots remain the same. Below the nominal bracket contenders, though, the shakeup in spots five and below continues apace.
We are a little over a week away from getting to see how these rankings compare to...
