Why College Football Rankings Are Terrible
The only constant with the college football rankings is that someone always believe they are terrible. Every Sunday (and now Tuesday), there is some argument with the rankings. The rankings are useless in today’s game with the selection committee being the final source of truth, but are they. The initial rankings demonstrated that the public…

Today is the day. Over the last year, older well privileged have scouted and scoured the training of teenagers.
