0 comments by on 11/23/2016

Now that the regular season has concluded, and the draws are set, our staff decided to rank the top 10 teams heading into the FCS Playoff. Unlike the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, we’ll let the teams settle the issue on the gridiron, and release the final rankings when all of the games are in […]

Notre Dame the latest recipient of toothless, cosmetic NCAA penalty in lieu of meaningful action

0 comments by

Ah, yes, the Groundhog Day of collegiate athletics … NCAA penalties. This time, Notre Dame was in the crosshairs for academic misconduct and the providing of extra benefits by an athletic trainer. In all, eight players were involved with this trainer, two for the academic misconduct and six for the extra benefits. The trainer was […]

What the CFP selection committee taught us: Week 12

0 comments by on 11/22/2016

The committee has been pretty inconsistent this season in how it adjusts its rankings from week to week. Two weeks ago, in its second rankings of the year, the committee went with chalk. Teams that lost dropped a few (inconsistent) places, while other teams just slid up to take those places. Last week, we saw […]

Week 12 CFP Implications: We’re Almost Out of Contenders

0 comments by

I have been saying for a month now that the leading contenders in the College Football Playoff race had a huge lead on the field. With losses by Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, and Washington in the last month, that lead has shrunk. However, the fact remains that that gap is still there. And it could […]

Week 12 Big 12 Power Rankings

0 comments by on 11/21/2016

After 12 weeks, we finally have some serious upheaval in the Big 12. The state of Texas went 0-4, and gets an honorary last-place spot in this week’s rankings. Also, Kansas moves out of the basement because the Jayhawks finally won a game. (And, because honestly, they didn’t look like the worst team in the […]

Charlie Strong needed more time at Texas

0 comments by

If Texas has decided to fire Charlie Strong – as CBS has reported – it’s making the wrong choice. He deserved another season to turn things around. Make no mistake about it: Strong walked into a very bad situation at Texas. After playing for the national championship in 2009, the team struggled with mediocrity, losing […]

Buff, Buff Pass: Liufau, Colorado clip WSU, move closer to Pac 12 South title

As elation and field-rushing cascaded over Folsom Field, a smiling Mike MacIntyre said it all about his mission as the Colorado head coach in an on-field interview. “We just want to make CU great again.” Well, after dispensing of Washington State behind a 24-7 second half, they’re one win (or one Southern Cal loss) away […]

Florida Gators defeat LSU Tigers, earn appearance in SEC title game and possibly more

0 comments by

The Florida Gators defeated the LSU Tigers 16-10 to earn an appearance in the SEC title game. Make no mistake about it: this was a huge win for Jim McElwain’s squad. Sure, LSU had three losses coming into this contest, but the Tigers have played like a completely different team under the leadership of Ed […]

College Football Rooting Interests: Week 12

0 comments by on 11/18/2016

This week got off with a bang, with Louisville crashing out of the Playoff race and Troy falling out of the Group of 5 auto-bid race. In short, Thursday night was a bad night for ranked teams that lost to Clemson by six points. (I don’t think this means that Auburn should be on upset […]

The Houston Cougars throttled Louisville 36-10, proving that they can beat any team in the country. Make no mistake about it: this is an impressive victory for Tom Herman’s squad. Louisville has been one of the most dominant teams in the country this fall, ranking in the top 10 in both total offense (1st) and […]

What the CFP Selection Committee Taught Us: Week 11

0 comments by on 11/15/2016

Last week was actually the most bland set of rankings the College Football Playoff selection committee gave us in its short history. The committee spent its first two years trying to drive home the point that every team is re-evaluated every week, so we often saw teams shift when they picked up quality wins or […]

Week 11 CFP Implications: Chaos Leaves Troubling Scenarios

0 comments by

After a chaotic week of college football, including losses by half of the College Football Playoff selection committee’s Top 10, we’re kind of in the same place we started. Clemson still controls its own Playoff destiny. Michigan still controls its own Playoff destiny. Washington is in a stickier situation, but also probably still controls its […]

TSS Power 16 Poll After Week 11

0 comments by on 11/14/2016

Wow, what a weekend! With very few matchups between top 25 teams, many expected week 11 to be a relatively uneventful one. However, thanks to upsets by Pittsburgh, Iowa, and Georgia, the College Football Playoff standings will look much differently this week than it did last week. So how will these shockers impact our rankings? […]
