Not great: However, it was a crazy week in college football overall with all the underdogs: Just upset city. But no excuses. Gotta be better this week.

I’m about to fire off some hot takes, here goes: The AP Poll itself is on FRAUD WATCH™: You think Texas is better than Kentucky? I do. I think they’re better than Cincinnati, too.

We are now a third of the way through the season already. I’ve altered the formula just a bit by adding Net Tackles for Loss.

We’re through three weeks (for some teams, four) so I think I’ve got enough data to start compiling the power ratings. Now, granted, most teams have played just non-conference opponents thus far, so we still don’t really know just how “real” a lot of these teams are.
