Odds and Ends 9/23/26

Welcome Back! Today I'll talk mostly about the out of conference results so far. I'll also continue the lists of undefeated and winless teams, as well as those with a win, but no FBS wins. Interconference results This year, I am using a chart, which should more clearly highlight how each conference is doing. It will be organized by their overall OOC record. Unfortunately, you may need to scroll to see the last few columns. Conference Overall Pct Rank vs FBS Pct Rank vs P4 Pct Rank vs G6 Pct Rank SEC 34-2 .944 1 26-2 .929 1 10-2 .833 1 16-0 1.000 1 Independents 5-1 .833 2 4-1 .800 2 2-1 .667 2 2-0 1.000 3 Big Ten 39-8 .829 3 28-10 .734 3 4-9 .308 5 24-1 .960 4 Big 12 34-8 .809 4 18-8 .692 4 5-7 .417 3 13-1 .929 5 ACC 24-9 .727 5 13-9 .591 5 6-9 .400 4 7-0 1.000 2 Sun Belt 22-19 .537 6 10-18 .357 7 0-11 .000 10 10-7 .588 7 American 19-18 .514 7 11-17 .393 6 1-10 .091 6 10-7 .588 7 MWC 12-14 .462 8 6-13 .316 8 0-7 .000 9 6-6 .500 9 CUSA 13-18 .419 9 5-18 .217 10 0-6 .000 8 5-12 .2...

Power Rankings 9/22/26

Welcome Back! As you might expect, we had quite a bit of movement after the 3rd full week of games. Texas and Indiana remain numbers 1 and 2, but Notre Dame and Oregon swap spots. Ole Miss moves back into the top 10 at #9 while LSU drops to #12. Once again, the Top 25 has the same teams but with some rearrangement. ULM takes over the last spot due to their loss to an FCS team, supplanting Charlotte. After this weekend, I will drop the preseason points and add in some stats from this season. This means there will probably be some major changes, but perhaps not as much as in the past, since the preseason points have carried less weight than before. This also means that the rankings next week will reflect what has happened this season and will be devoid of preseason expectations. Here are the teams that moved 8 spots or more (biggest movers highlighted): West Virginia +16 to #51 North Texas -11 to #55 Wake Forest -9 to #61 Texas State +12 to #64 Kentucky +20 to #65 Tulane -9 to #71 San Di...

TWIF Notes 9/21/26

Welcome Back! What a fantastic weekend of games! We had a few routs, but there were quite a few close contests and even some upsets. Plus an unbelievable ending. Here are my thoughts from Week 3. 1. Texas Tech may very well repeat s Big 12 champions, but it won't be in as dominating a fashion as it was last year. Houston jumped out in front, fell behind, then nearly tied the game on a 2-point conversion, falling just short in a 28-26 loss. Unfortunately for us as viewers, the Cougars are likely the toughest team the Red Raiders will face all season, though they do face Arizona on Oct 31. Here are TT's remaining Big 12 games: at Colorado, Ariz State, at Cincinnati, Arizona, WVU, at Oklahoma State, at Baylor, and TCU. Do you see any major challenges there? It would take a huge upset (or 2) for the Red Raiders not to make the Big 12 CG. 2. Georgia won easily, 45-17, and was never really challenged against Arkansas, but it was sort of a weird game. The Dawgs had 254 yards rushing, ...
