2025-2026 College Football Season

Duke upsets Virginia. We officially have chaos!

I don't think that one is all that chaotic unless not having an ACC champ makes the committee more strongly look at Miami.  James Madison will just be in as the 5th conference champ along with Tulane as the 4th conference champ as there is no way 8-5 Duke should jump ahead of those teams which were ranked last week and won their conference championships this week.

I do wonder what they will do with Ohio State. Do they just drop to 2 or does Georgia and maybe Texas Tech move ahead of them?  I know OSU won't drop past 4, but I can see arguments for 2, 3, or 4.  I think they will be 3 with Georgia at 2 and Tech at 4.  The only other real intrigue is 9 and 10.  What do they do with Bama, ND, and Miami (I'd have Tezas in that mix, but I don't think the committee will)?  That is the most interesting thing to me

No kidding. Duke, then Indiana the only undefeated team left ? Is it basketball season ?

I strongly agree with Moranis about the importance of those big non-conference matchups that the blue-bloods have been able to schedule without it ruining their season if they lost. The Vols have had great rivalry series with Notre Dame, UCLA and Penn State in the past that have gone by the wayside. Tennessee still plays an annual out-of-conference opponent, usually a good team, but with the SEC going to a 9-game conference schedule, the future of even those games is in some doubt. Greed for more money is destroying a once great sport.

Georgia should win it all
