  • Week 12 Elo Rankings

    A lot of cancellations and postponements plus several blowouts led to a somewhat forgettable Week 11 in College Football. However, we still saw some movement as Indiana went to 4-0 in the Big Ten, moving up to 19th in the Elo Rankings (they are up to 10th in the AP Poll, which has proven to be unwieldy in 2020).

    Penn State have fallen out of the Top 25 and will be lucky to win two games this season. Clemson remain at #1, although barely, and with their remaining strength of schedule, expect Alabama or Ohio State to surpass them in the final weeks of the season heading into the College Football Playoff.

  • Week 11 Elo Rankings

    Clemson fall back down to Earth after a 2OT loss to Notre Dame, putting them almost even with Alabama. It’s looking like ND, Ohio State, and Alabama could finish undefeated, with Clemson winning their remaining games and earning a rematch against the Irish in the ACC Championship. Florida and Oregon will likely have to win their way in, or hope for a collapse from one of the top four. View the full rankings below.
