G’s Evaluation or The Top 261 for Week 11

Welcome back after another great week of upsets, close calls, unexpected routs, and the general chaos that is College Football in November. There is an FCS game being played this afternoon between Alcorn St and Texas Southern of the SWAC which means that game is not included in these rankings but will merge into next week. As a reminder, next week is the last regular season weekend for FCS (with a few exceptions and the SWAC playoff), before the 24-team playoff begins. Look for a post later this week predicting the playoff teams.

…..

Speaking of such, I can give congratulations to the 8 new teams that have qualified (must have 7 wins): E Illinois (Big South/Ohio Valley), W Carolina (SoCon), Richmond (Colonial), Drake (Pioneer), North Dakota St (Missouri Valley), St Thomas (Pioneer), C Arkansas (United), and Sacramento St (Big Sky). This brings the total eligible to 26 so let the lobbying begin. 5 teams collected their 5th loss thus eliminating them from contention: Hampton (Colonial), Elon (Colonial), Samford (SoCon), Nicholls (Southland), and San Diego (Pioneer).

…..

For the FBS, 13 teams collected their 7th loss eliminating them (with some potential exceptions if there aren’t enough teams to fill the slots and the school has exceptional academic ratings) from the playoffs: Buffalo (MAC), North Texas (American), Tulsa (American), Temple (American), Charlotte (American), Baylor (Big 12), UAB (American), Arkansas (SEC), Indiana (Big TEN), Stanford (Pac 12), San Diego St (Mountain West), Michigan St (Big TEN), and New Mexico (Mountain West). That brings the total to 35. Newly bowl eligible teams this week are Bowling Green (MAC), Maryland (Big TEN), Clemson (ACC), App St (Sun Belt), Auburn (SEC), Texas A&M (SEC), and Iowa St (Big 12). That brings the total to 59 of the 82 required. Included in this total is 10-0/9 James Madison who is year 2 of the FCS to FBS transition. By rule, they are not eligible to play for their conference championship or compete in a bowl (unless there are not enough qualifiers) until next year. They are appealing the rule and I hope they at least get a bowl. Undefeated is difficult.

…..

The top spots are starting to solidify with Michigan (10-0/1) and Ohio St (10-0/2) holding on to their spots. However, their game in 2 weeks will probably eliminate the loser. That means Georgia (10-0/3) who moved up one spot could continue their rise while Florida St (10-0/4) rounds out the top 4. When the loser of The Game drops out, the winner of what is likely to be the Pac 12 championship between Washington (10-0/5) and Oregon (9-1/6) has a great chance to get in. There are a ton of scenarios and I’m planning to have a post later in the week dedicated to them including the SEC championship opponents already decided with Alabama (9-1/7) joining Georgia.

…..

But, without further ado, here are all of the teams for this week. See you soon and thank you for reading, G
