G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 after Week 2

Welcome back sports fans and a shout out to Scott H who corrected my miss about Sam Hartman being back for Wake Forest. We had a full slate of games these past few days with Upsets galore. In weeks 0 and 1, there were just 3. First, when I capitalize Upset, I am not referring to Vegas or GCR prediction upsets, but rather league upsets. There are 3 that I track: FCS team beating either a Power 5 or Group of 5 team, and a G5 beating a P5. I am not tracking Others (non-NCAA, Division II, etc.) beating an FCS team. In the first set of games, FCS schools William & Mary and Delaware beat G5 teams, respectively, Charlotte and Navy. G5 Old Dominion beat P5 Virginia Tech. This week, there were 9! First FCS over G5: E Kentucky 59-57 in 7 OT over Bowling Green, Incarnate Word over Nevada 55-41, Holy Cross over Buffalo 37-31, and Weber St over Utah St 35-7. G5 over P5: Marshall over Notre Dame 26-21, App St over Texas A&M 17-14, Air Force over Colorado 41-10, Ga Southern over Nebraska 45-42, and BYU over Baylor 26-20 in double OT. I’ll talk more about all of this and what it means in the next G’s Explanation.

…..

The full list of all 261 teams is listed below (in a new and improved easier to read format – cheers for progress!), but if the season ended today, the GCR would put Georgia as the top seed playing Syracuse as the fourth spot. In the other semifinal, Alabama (2) would take on Michigan St (3). If the new playoff structure was in place, here’s what that would look like:

Team/SeedConference/RankTeam/SeedConference/Rank
Georgia (1)SEC/2-0/1BYE
Michigan St (2)B1G/2-0/3BYE
Syracuse (3)ACC/2-0/4BYE
Southern Cal (4)P12/2-0/6BYE

Wake Forest (7)ACC /2-0/7Kentucky (10)SEC/2-0/10
Mississippi St (8)SEC/2-0/8Oklahoma (9)B12/2-0/9

…..

Enjoy the rankings below. It’s still early, so I suspect a lot of movement in the coming weeks. Thanks for reading and watch for G’s Explanation which will be focused on a powerhouse division. Here they are from Georgia to Marist:
