2024 SEASON
SEASON NOTES: 08/04/24
MY 1ST TOP 25 RANKINGS FOR THE 2024 SEASON WILL BE AFTER WEEK SEVEN, 10/10/24 When they can be accurate!!
FINALLY!! I GET MY WISH!! AN expanded playoff is here!!
These rankings are how I see the end of the regular season playing out. YES, I KNOW, the four Conference champs get the 4 bye's, I see the reasons for that but the ACC is weak as hell, the BIG 12 was that Conference, I just want the TOP 4 teams to get bye's regardless of Conference standing. It won't happen but I'm ranking them this way still.
I SEE 0.0 REASON FOR PRE-SEASON POLLS!! I can't make that clear enough, every season several pre-seaon Top 10 teams fail miserably, it will happen again this season.
Therefore I will have no part of that MADE-FOR-TV BULLSHIT! YES that's all it is. I pick EVERY SINGLE GAME for ALL teams in ALL conferences to come up with my rankings, that is why you see a record behind each team. No other site goes to this level, NO other site will get it as right as I will!
Once the season begins I WILL RANK TEAMS by how they are playing RIGHT THAT WEEK, others base to much on records and season success, I'm right!! you want the best teams in playoffs! While this expansion is welcome and a wonderful start a full playoff at multiple levels is ALL that is acceptable AND TRASH THE REST OF THE ANTIQUATED BOWLS!!!
10/13/24 03:00PM
Well, there it is. I actually put thought into this and don't just look at records and over rate just winning some games against weak teams. Schedule matters for sure, but #1 is the eye test, that is the most important part of the process.
10/20/24 02:30PM
The top two stay the same then CHAOS!! Frankly, clearly the best two teams played last week and it was a one point game, I don't see another right that I feel can compete with those two. Spots three through ten are pretty much interchangeable. That mess will work itself out. I actually had a couple very rare big movers this week. Even more rare, Vandy and Indiana BOTH ranked, WTF???
10/28/24 04:00PM
All set for this week, not a lot of movement. Countless big games coming up weekly from here on out.
11/03/24 08:30AM
GREAT week of games, now you can see why I don't move teamsaround as much as others. Cream always rises to the top!
11/11/24 09:00AM
This group set for another week, better teams are rising to the top, still two against the field though.,
11/17/24 11:00AM
Not a lot of change this week, some teams I had little confidence in finally fell.
11/24/24 08:00AM
NFL like Parity is coming hard and fast people. I still only see TWO TEAMS that can win this thing.
12/01/24 08:00AM
PARITY!!! Get used to that word people, it's coming HARD AND FAST!!
The days of multiple teams running the table are OVER!!
12/08/24 08:00AM
OK, this is how I see it. Sorry to Boise St, and Notre Dame, YOU DON'T BELONG!! Play better teams.
Round 0ne in my world. Remember, I don't believe conference champs should get an automatic 1st round BYE!! THAT'S FUCKING STUPID!!! Body of work DOES MATTER!!!
ROUND ONE
#5 Tennessee vs #12 Clemson
#6 Alabama vs #11 SCarolina
#7 Ole Miss vs#10 Arizona St
#8 Penn St vs #9 SMU
That would not suck at all!
