The Sun Belt deserves a ton of credit for quietly building an impressive conference. While all the attention goes to the power conferences when it comes to realignment, the Sun Belt has position itself nicely to be among the best of the non-power conferences. They could have an amazing 11 of their 13 teams that can go to a bowl game, be bowl eligible. And that is all happening while James Madison is a ...

Washington picked up another huge win this week, running all over USC. The Huskies next face Utah and Oregon State, a couple more top 25 teams.

For the Sooners, they have dropped out of our projected New Year’s Six Bowl games.

Ohio State survived a tough test from Penn State. Marvin Harrison Jr. was the big difference for the Buckeyes in the 20-12 victory. That should have been OSU’s toughest test until their regular season finale at Michigan on November 25th.

Oklahoma’s thrilling victory over Texas has shaken up the playoff picture. The Sooners are eyeing a spot in the top four after knocking off the Longhorns 34-40. That was by far the toughest game on Oklahoma’s schedule. However, for now, it is Florida State who has moved up into the projected field of four.

Texas picked up a huge win over Alabama and has catapulted themselves into the projected playoffs. Florida State is right in the mix now too following their week 1 win over LSU, but for now they are on the outside looking in with Georgia, Michigan and Ohio State getting the nod. Even with just two weeks in the books, the Group of Five winner, who is projected to play in the Fiesta Bowl, is wide open. The ...

Even with some upsets in championship week, the playoffs are all but set. USC played their way out on Friday night and that moves in Ohio State to join Georgia, TCU and Michigan in the playoffs. TCU will have to sweat it out a little bit after losing to Kansas State, but a one-loss TCU squad should get in over a two-loss Alabama team.

Despite all of the drama at the top of the bowls, the bottom is quite interesting too. There are more bowls than bowl eligible teams and, by our count, we should head to the APR for one team with a 5-7 record. That is assuming Buffalo beats Akron on December 2nd to secure their sixth win of the season. New Mexico State is also 5-6 and has been declared bowl eligible by the NCAA. Rice would get into a bowl ...
