In the process of reviewing the past week of absurd occurrences in college football — and there were many –the point should settle into our minds: Bringing up these images and instances is not done just to make you angry, to merely recall various outrages so that you can yell, “YEAH!

It’s Monday, which means it’s time for me to release this week’s top 25. As always, here are a couple of things to remember about my poll: This poll is a projection of where each team will finish the season. I always factor strength of schedule into my rankings.

We finally have games to review. It’s one of the best feelings any group of college football chroniclers can have. The editorial staff at The Student Section evaluates the two neutral-site games that turned out to be a lot closer than many expected.
