3 teams fall out so 3 new teams slide in. Top 3 stay the same & Robert Wuhl's Houston Cougars move up two & my Wisconsin Badgers take a big tumble. Here's how this weeks standing shape up.....
1) Alabama 8-0 55 points against last week #1
2) LSU 8-0 92pa lw #2
3) Clemson 8-0 200pa lw #3
4) Stanford 7-0 88pa lw #5
5) Boise St 7-0 113pa lw #6
6) Kansas St 7-0 148pa lw #8
7) Houston 7-0 164pa lw #9
8) Oklahoma St 7-0 188pa lw#10
9) Penn St 7-1 105pa lw #11
10) Virginia Tech 7-1 129pa lw #13--biggest gainer
11) Wisconsin 6-1 95pa lw #4--biggest drop
12) Michigan St 6-1 96pa lw not ranked
13) Michigan 6-1 103pa lw #12
14) Cincinnati 6-1 132pa lw NR
15) South Carolina 6-1 134pa lw #15
16) Southern Miss 6-1 135pa lw NR
Fell out--Oklahoma #7, Illinois #14 & Georgia Tech #16
Lurking below--Oklahoma 6-1 136pa, Oregon 6-1 142pa, Arkansas 6-1 152pa, & Nebraska 6-1 177pa.
Playoffs are a four week format with all games on Saturdays starting in mid-December & ending the first Saturday in Jan with the title game somewhere warm like Miami or Tampa. All games before the championship at neutral sites halfway between the two teams preferably. #1 vs #16, #2 vs #15 and so on. Teams that don't make it can play in the bowl games so they aren't shut out.
My system is based on wins & points against. I don't care how many points you score, defense wins championships & that's what I reward. Is my system perfect? Probably not but it's better than what we have now & comedian/actor/radio sports talk show host Robert Wuhl approves, so what more do you need.
Thanks for taking time out to read & we'll see you back here next week!

College Football 16 team playoff standings week #1...
Welcome back to another year of my college football playoff standings in which 16 teams based on wins and points allowed would be competing over 4 Saturdays as to who is really the #1 team in the nation. This years playoffs would start Saturday Dec 17th & end with the title game Sat Jan 7th someplace warm like Tampa or Miami. So without any further delay, here are the standings in week #1....
1) Alabama 7-0 49 points against
2) LSU 7-0 82pa
3) Clemson 7-0 162pa
4) Wisconsin 6-0 58pa
5) Stanford 6-0 67pa
6) Boise St 6-0 87pa
7) Oklahoma 6-0 95pa
8) Kansas St 6-0 117pa
9) Houston 6-0 136pa
10) Oklahoma St 6-0 164pa
11) Penn State 6-1 81pa
12) Michigan 6-1 103pa
13) Virginia Tech 6-1 115pa
14) Illinois 6-1 124pa
15) South Carolina 6-1 134pa
16) Georgia Tech 6-1 169pa
Just missed at 6-1 was Louisiana-Lafayette with 186pa. Also on the outside looking in right now at 5-1 are Cincinnati, Michigan St, Nebraska, Oregon, Rutgers, SMU, Southern Miss, USC, Washington & West Virginia.
#1 vs #16, #2 vs #15 & so on. Games played at neutral sites somewhere between the two schools if at all possible. If you're new to my blog, first let me say welcome, and if you're wondering how I came up with this system I simply used the old saying that defense wins championships. So I take wins and points allowed as my two variables & come up with my 16 teams. I didn't want offense because if you run up the score on cream puffs it proves nothing. So technically you could still schedule a cream puff for the victory, but you'd better keep them off the scoreboard. The real rubber hits the road come conference time anyway, one loss won't hurt you too badly, but a second one probably will.
The teams that don't make the playoffs can play in the bowl games so it's not like they are shut out. All playoff games are played on Saturdays so in four weeks you'd have your title game and champion once and for all settled on the field. I realize it's not a perfect system, but it's better than the nothing we have now I figure.
Your comments are welcome, and again thanks for taking time out to read this! I'll see you next week with the updated standings!
