The Athletic - CFB Rankings (2024)

[BRS24]

Unlike the NYT, there's no way to gift articles from The Athletic. Boo.

Ranking 134 college football teams entering 2024, from Ohio State to Kennesaw State

We ended at #120 last year and that's where we'll start. I was on the road when GT beat FSU, so I'm thinking we'll see a lot of "upsets" this year. If there are any "friends" we should track, just let me know.

Here's hoping you are right... but, one thing GTech had going for them was that they played FSU on a neutral site...

Sad that Maryland moved down 3 after stomping our guts out.

I think we can take UAB if we play well.

 

[ZOOCONN]

I think we can take UAB if we play well.

I think the same for wake Forrest, I watched their game against UVA last night, their RB is really good but the QB is a bit of a wild card

ESPN PREDICTOR has UConn -80.4 against Duke on schedule for Duke. Has them as the easiest game left on Dukes schedule. "Old Guy" thinks bulletin board material...Go Huskies!

 

[goalline]

Long range forecast for next Saturday at Duke......60% chance of rain..

Week 3 - Results of our opponents:

 

[BRS24]

Post week-3 opponents rankings from The Athletic. Also showing biggest movers +/-. Wherefore art thou FSU ...
Georgia State moves up a whopping 74 places. UConn moves up 1 and Duke down 4. So there.

(I'll be out of the country for the next two Mondays, so I'll try to capture the lists and post when I'm back.)

Hey gang - a different look for today, as I'm slogging thru emails, etc, after being away for a few weeks. If there are any errors, bear with me while I get back into the swing of things. Also, the cut/paste creates some funky things with teams that are undefeated, so if any are wrong, I'll try to catch it next week (for you data geeks, it pastes as a date, so undefeateds show one loss).

First, here's a look at movement of our opponents. For week 5 & 6, green is up, red is down. Clearly, our Huskies are trending in a good direction.

Here's a look at some of the biggest movers:

See y'all on Monday with opponent score updates and new rankings.

One game skews the perception. No way Maryland is only 16 teams better than UConn and no way UConn is only 4 teams better than Buffalo. But per this rating method that's what it is.

 

[temery]

Those are last year's rankings.

Here are yesterday's results, along with the AP top 25 losses (ranking here is still The Athletic) -

Nice. We have 4 teams ranked behind us (WF, UAB, UMass & Rice) and we only need 2 more wins to make a bowl game. Chances are looking very good that we're going bowling and probably with more than the 6 wins necessary!

1 at a time. 1 at a time. If we learned anything yesterday, it’s focus on team you’re playing next and win that game.

Heading into week 7 - our opponents and biggest movers +/-

Honestly, fair to drop us a spot. We had no business needing a goal line stand to eek out a win vs Temple (despite them probably being better than their 1-5 record indicates). W against Wake in 2 weeks would be huge! Hope everyone heals up during the bye week.
