Here’s my take. The rankings have been shite. Top teams are falling out like crazy. The polls are crap. It’s sports writers who all have favorite teams at this point.

This is a product of the NIL era.

1) The transfer portal is resulting in less programs, less development and less depth.

2) Talent is more widely distributed, but it’s still concentrated in big conferences and leads to less depth.

3) Players are less developed and there is no/less team chemistry and teams are not as cohesive. I think that’s why you have all the ups and downs.

4) With all the playoff spots, a loss is not as big a deal as it used to be.

The AP is still picking teams based on helmet stickers and history. None of them know how good these teams really are.

The Big10 has won the last 3 National Championships. The SEC hasn't even made it to the title game

This year the SEC is head and shoulders better than the big 10

There’s 12 spots. Texas is a good example, they are one loss from being done. You can just assume everybody is going to lose at least one game now, so there’s really only 1 error game, same as there has always been.

SEC is marginally better because the bottom of the Big 10 sucks arse. The tops and middles are pretty even
