G’s Exploration or the 2023 Final Regular Season Top 261

Welcome back, sports fans. There’s a lot to unpack this week so expect some additional posts later on. Today is simply about the rankings. Rivalry week did not disappoint with closer than expected games, last-minute victories, huge upsets, and just plain old good football.

…..

If the playoffs started today, and the GCR had the decision, we would see Michigan (12-0/1) vs Ohio St (11-1/4) in a rematch and Georgia (12-0/2) vs Florida St (12-0/3). Washington (12-0/5) and Oregon (11-1/6) show just how important the championship games are next week. I’ll go in depth in the next G’s Expectation.

…..

For now, here are the top 261 with just a single regular season game left: Army/Navy in two weeks.
