College Football News 2020 college football rankings after Week 10
And now Liberty screws everything up.
At this point in the season, there has to be a healthy mix of opinion to go along with what has to be done based on what happened on the field.
BYU and Cincinnati appear to be very good teams that just so happen to have mediocre schedules, while Liberty seems to be a good team that has two Power Five wins – Syracuse and now Virginia Tech – for the better resumé.
Liberty also screws up the ACC pecking order. Coming up with one big win over a team isn’t the same as dealing with the weekly grind of a Power Five schedule, but as the line continues to go, non-conference games have consequences.
Virginia Tech lost at home to an unbeaten Liberty. That’s going to stick with the Hokies and the ACC for the rest of the season, just like the Big 12’s 0-3 home record against the Sun Belt won’t be shaken.
Louisiana still has just one loss to an unbeaten Coastal Carolina, and the 34-13 road win over Iowa State is by far the worst thing to happen to the Cyclones this year.
Up top … whatever. The top four teams are the top four teams. Alabama has been more dominant overall, Notre Dame gets credit for pulling off a win over Clemson, Ohio State is amazing but hasn’t beaten anyone – if you go by Penn State’s 0-3 record – and Clemson is fine but beaten up.
Credit is given overall for wins over Power Five programs in big situations. Michigan and Penn State might be struggling, but they’re still Michigan and Penn State, and Indiana beat them both.
As always, if you have a major issue with these, check the schedules – your team probably lost to someone it shouldn’t have.
