--- Week 11 Preview ---
* MACtion! Get your MAC football going on Election Day with the Bowling Green State Falcons at the Central Michigan Chippewas, and the Miami (OH) Redhawks at the Ball State Cardinals.

* More MACtion! On Wednesday, the Ohio Bobcats are at the Kent State Golden Flashes, and the Northern Illinois Huskies will be at the Western Michigan Broncos.

* Omnis' Florida Atlantic Owls head up the Atlantic Coast to meet the East Carolina Pirates on Thursday night.

* Friday Night football on FOX has the Iowa Hawkeyes going out west to take on the UCLA Bruins.

* Dolph Drago's Purdue Boilermakers face a huge test at Keef's Ohio State Buckeyes.

* Georgia Tech upset one Florida team this season (Florida State). Can the Yellow Jackets do it again when the Miami Hurricanes visit Atlanta?

* The Florida Gators will try to stun the No. 5 Texas Longhorns on the road.

* The Minnesota Golden Gophers will head out to Rutgers to take on the Scarlet Knights.

* Navy will try to get back to winning when they play at South Florida this Saturday at noon (Eastern Time).

* After the Ole Miss Rebels overpowered the Arkansas Razorbacks, the Rebels host a more complete team- the Georgia Bulldogs.

* Indiana may be having their best-ever season of football. The visiting Michigan Wolverines, however, look to end Indiana's undefeated ways.

* Birds of different feathers collide in Kansas City, MO. It's the Iowa State Cyclones meeting the Kansas Jayhawks.

* The Army Black Knights try to stay undefeated when they visit Denton, TX and the North Texas Mean Green.

* Texas Tech got themselves a big win last week. The Red Raiders look to pick up another big win when the Colorado Buffaloes visit Lubbock, Texas.

* Turtles and ducks clash in the state of Oregon. It's the Maryland Terrapins looking to take down the top-ranked Oregon Ducks in Eugene, OR.

* Florida State's fall from grace continues. The Seminoles look for any sort of big win to boost their confidence, even including trying to the upset No. 10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish on the road.

* The Alabama Crimson Tide will head into Baton Rouge, LA to take on those feisty LSU Tigers.

* Penn State WAS undefeated. The Nittany Lions will try to start a new win streak when the Washington Huskies visit Happy Valley.

* The Boise State Broncos have a solid player getting Heisman love. What can the Broncos do on Saturday night when the Nevada Wolfpack visit Boise State on the Blue Turf?

* After getting embarrassed last week, the Pittsburgh Panthers will try to get back to winning when they host the Virginia Cavaliers.

* The Utah Utes will try to ute-ilize their offense to knock the visiting BYU Cougars from the unbeaten ranks.

* The Washington State Cougars look to retain their great form when the Utah State Aggies go up to Wazzou.


I tried to look up North Dakota State for my good mate TB, but they don't play this week, unfortunately. Anyhow... this is your Week 11 of college football.


Enjoy this week's games!

Yep, bye week this week and some rest for Cam Miller's ankle.

At least I should still be able to catch the Bulldogs game. :D
 
Tonight will be the first reveal of the College Football Playoff rankings. We'll have to see who will make up this first-ever 12-team playoff after years of the four team CFP. These playoff rankings will change over time until we get to the end of the regular season. Now begins asking the question... Who's In?

I'll give the first reveal of the CFP rankings once I make a proper post about it.
 
Welcome to the first College Football Playoff rankings of 2024! Remember that we have an expanded playoff. We go from a four team playoff with two teams out... to now 12 teams getting in. So let me ask you for the first time... Who's In? Well, let's see who is in right now...

I have to see how ESPN will reveal the format, so this will be a learning experience for me.
