College Football 2022

Let’s go Spartans. Easy to go 7-0 when Hawaii, CSU, UCONN, Iowa & Indiana have all looked suspect.

I’d hate to see UCF make another NY6 bowl. Boise has gotten a ton better since Dirk Koetter took over as OC.

I’m pulling for Tulane. Quality win @ K-State, still have to host UCF and then @ Cincy on Black Friday.

Boise started getting better once they benched their QB Bachmaier & had Koetter take over.

OT: Adam Alexander calling college football lol
 
UNC is a pretty quiet 7-1 and probably going to win the Coastal, they wouldn’t be a bad matchup for Clemson in the ACCCG.
 
Wyoming @ Hawaii to close out the night at 3 AM ET and then wake up and you get Denver/Jacksonville heh

PAC-10 has pretty good football besides Cal & Stanford for some reason dragging the league down the past couple season.

New playoff should be good if the league can keep Oregon and Washington.

Figures as soon as USC UCLA Oregon Washington Utah all have good football teams now, the conference would be shaping up nicely.

Liberty finding it’s way into the AP poll at #23. If they beat Virginia and go 11-1, do the polls prop them up to make it into a good bowl game OR even a BCS/NY6 game??

Oregon & Washington haven’t left yet.

Oregon State also just climbed into the top 25 with a 6-2 record.
 
Like we're literally supposed to just ignore that LSU lost to a very mediocre FSU team, barely beat a bad Auburn team, and got curbstomped by Tennessee? I might just become an FCS guy. The ridiculous amount of money and bias in FBS is ruining college football for me.

FCS has pretty good football in the Big Sky, HBCU SWAC, Missouri Valley are all good quality football.
 
Of course, Alabama plays LSU this weekend. Bama gets a Top 10 win and vaults to #3 or #4 next week.

I wish they’d at least try to be less blatant about it.

I find it nauseating how college football and even basketball is all about “P5”/“G5”.

Now it’s “P2” “M3” “G5”, just all stupid branding and elitism

You nailed it on the head sir and this answers why LSU is #10. I grew up in NW Ohio and distinctly recall #23 Bowling Green hosting #12 Northern Illinois in a huge MAC game that played host to College Gameday.

While what the Bearcats did last year was so damn awesome, we’ve eroded so much of the strength of mid major conferences through conference expansion. The end result is you get teams like LSU and Illinois in really good rankings all because who the hell else is there?

Illinois is a prime example of what is wrong with the sport. Sure they’re 7-1, but they haven’t played a single ranked team all year. They’ve beaten Wyoming, Chattanooga, Virginia, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska while losing the Indiana. That’s legit a mid major schedule, with remaining games of Purdue, Michigan State, Michigan and Northwestern.
 
At least Vandy and Rutgers will be getting $100M in annual conference revenue payouts before long.

As much as I hate to say it, Michigan has had a weak as hell schedule as well.

But then you got teams like Colorado who scheduled TCU, Minnesota AND Air Force, it’s hard to be a winning program when they play the toughest schedule in the country.

Colorado has played the 56th ranked schedule. Michigan has the 30th toughest. Colorado is just an awful awful awful team.
 
with all due respect to Alabama (they've had a stranglehold on college football and deserve all the recognition till the end of time) but COME ON MAN lol, do they have to be sitting in the catbird seat to jump ahead of the undefeateds each and every time?

they have 2 wins of ranked teams and likely would have lost to Texas if their starting QB didn't go down, a loss to a very good Tennessee team obviously, they're 7-1 and I'd take Oregon firing on all cylinders with Bo Nix against them right now. This is not a year they look particularly strong imo.

TCU is undefeated with 4 wins over ranked opponents sandwiched in between 2 not so easy road wins the last being @WVU. They're 8-0! For the love of everything that is football. Who is in charge? I'd rather have the members in this thread in charge.

the Top 5 should work itself out naturally, thankfully.
 
Solid win for Coastal Carolina over App State last night to hang onto first in the division, they look like the top choice for the G5 NY6 bid if the AAC cannibalizes itself over the final month.
