College Football Top 25 Week 6

I do have my computer ratings up. They’ve been edited within the last couple of hours, so you may want to check them out again if you were one of the early birds. However, I decided on one more transitional week to my top 25. The order of the teams is still too far off of the way I have it, and next week is a huge week in the SEC (LSU/Florida, Georgia/Missouri, Texas A&M/Ole Miss) in addition to other games such as Washington/Oregon, Oklahoma/Texas, Louisville/Rutgers, Wisconsin/Northwestern, and USC/Arizona. USC and Texas have had disappointing years so far, but they still have a chance to win their respective games.

I’m confident I will feel a lot more comfortable in standing by whatever comes out of the computer formula after these games than I am with the way it is now. This week seemed more about teams just confirming their status as top teams (barely, in a few cases) rather than sorting out the top teams relative to one another.

I also updated my LSU/Miss. St. Rivalry entry.

For September, I got my most views in a month since November 2011, when LSU beat Alabama. I got almost 70 views that day alone, so doing so without a similarly big event is encouraging. I’m nowhere near TSN days when I got as many views in a few days as I get in a month now, but I finally feel like this blog is going in the right direction again. Thanks for reading.

I want to thank intheneutralzone.com for posting my blogs. That may be giving me a boost here.
