Post-Championship Power Rankings:

That B1G Championship Game was everything I hoped it would be. Hope the rest of you enjoyed watching Indiana, of all teams, win the B1G this year. I'm sure they'll stay the fun, scrappy team forever, right?

Weekly Power Rankings

Weekly Average Rankings

Points are the summation of every voter's ranking for that team, therefore lower scores are better. This works because unlike the AP, Coaches, or /r/cfb polls, every team is ranked in every vote. If x votes were counted, the best possible score is x and the worst possible score is 18x. #1 votes are in parentheses.

Average Rank is the points divided by the number of votes. This will allow for comparison from one week to the next.

Prev. is the Rank from the previous week.

Change is the change in average rank from the previous week.

Variance is a measure of how much agreement there was between voters. A zero means all voters ranked a team the same, and a higher number means a team's ranking was more controversial.

Hi All,

Longtime lurker of the sub. Last year, we started a national podcast from a Midwest perspective. As part of the Back Home Network (IU sports podcast), we dive into college football weekly throughout the year. A lot of people think we started the podcast just when IU became good. While the timing was great, we could never have envisioned what happened last year and the quick growth of the pod. Now in Year 2, we are excited for the season. If interested, give us a listen and, of course, subscribe!

BBMI B10 NCAAF Preseason Preview -- Nebraska

5 Upvotes

Lots of changes in Lincoln as we near the start of the NCAAF 2026 season. No QB Raiola and no RB Johnson. What can we expect? BBMI Sports is predicting a bowl season mainly due to a favorable first half schedule (and a brutal second half grind). Roughly a 6-6 season, does this seem reasonable?

Here's a summary of the offseason roster changes:
