Rankings

The conference championship games are over. Clemson edges SMU to win the ACC. This knocks Alabama out of the playoff as Clemson gets the automatic bid and SMU still remains. Georgia beats Texas for the second time in the season to claim the SEC Championship. Both teams will go into the playoffs. Arizona State continues their surprising season by winning the Big 12 Championship in their first year in the conference. And Oregon takes down Penn State to finish the regular season 13-0 and claim their first Big 10 championship.

Detroit stays on top in my rankings although they did seem to sleep walk through the second half of their Thanksgiving Day game against Chicago. Buffalo still looks like the most dominant team in the AFC. Kansas City found a way to win another close game. Will their luck run out at some point? And Philadelphia took down Baltimore rather easily. They are now a Super Bowl contender.

Top 5 offenses in my adjusted scoring rankings:

The FBS regular season is a wrap. FCS, D2 and D3 have started their playoffs. Oregon finishes the season as the only undefeated FBS school.

The ACC started the final weekend with a chance to put 3 teams in the playoff. Instead, they went 1-3 against the SEC. They’ll probably wind up with only a single team now.

Who would have thought Ohio State wouldn’t be playing for a Big 10 championship? Ryan Day keeps his job for now because of the playoff. Before the new playoff, he’d probably already be fired.

Last week I said Detroit, Buffalo and Kansas City were the consensus best teams. This week, I’m adding Philadelphia and Baltimore to the mix. I’m still hesitant on Philadelphia though. In their 7 game winning streak, the Rams might have been the best team they played.
