The pigskin has flown, the pads have cracked, and the upsets have already started! It's that time again: time to dive headfirst into the messy, glorious world of college football rankings. Forget the polls for a minute. We're unveiling our own, meticulously crafted, and (dare we say) controversial Top 100 teams.
Why 100? Because the top 25 is just too limiting! We want to acknowledge the programs on the rise, the sleepers ready to shock the nation, and the teams clawing their way back to dominance.
From the usual suspects battling for playoff spots to the hidden gems in the Group of Five conferences, our rankings take into account everything: strength of schedule, returning talent, coaching prowess, and that intangible 'it' factor.
So, who cracked the Top 10? Which underdogs are primed for a Cinderella run? And which blue bloods are facing an uphill battle? Stay tuned! Over the next few weeks, we'll be releasing our rankings in segments, analyzing key matchups, and debating the merits of each team. Get ready to agree, disagree, and passionately defend your favorite team. The chaos has begun!
