13 losses in the first 2 weeks which is the most all time, and we contributed. So we got that going for us.

 

And

Maybe it's the rankings themselves that were way off.

It is. But it is also that no one is really any good anymore besides Alabama and occasionally Ohio state. No one else plays excellent football week in and week out. Frankly, this sport has gotten unbelievably boring which sucks. 2000-2009 was really fun not only because we were good but you had different teams each year. OU, Miami, Ohio State, LSU, USC, Texas, Florida twice, Alabama. The last decade has sucked and has become wholly uninteresting. It appears that Nick Saban and Tom Brady are the only two humans on the planet who understand this game.

All of this. College football has become monotonous. It’s not only that Alabama wins it all nearly every year. It’s also that the cast of post-season challengers is pretty much the same year in, year out. Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, OU, an occasional special non-Bama SEC guest appearance, sometimes Notre Dame. 

Boooooring.

Its almost as if money and the obsession with a "true" national champion has ruined what made college football special and not NFL-lite. 

In another 10 years there will be four 16 team superconferences with painful stadium experiences for everyone.

An expanded playoff would help fix this. But first we had to go to a 4 team playoff and completely kill off a ton of lower first tier and second tier programs in the process. The playoff really hasn't improved upon the BCS at all. All it's done is helped hand championships to Bama and tOSU.

Monotonous, regional, and homogeneous. Oregon and Nebraska--teams that I otherwise wouldn't give a shit about--were fun watches for playing a completely different brand of football. Not it's just a battle of who has the best spread option offense.

Those darn kids wanting theirs. How dare they?

13 is the most, but what is typical?

The big ten playing conference games week 1 added some losses that typically wouldn’t be there. Teams like Louisiana Lafayette being ranked added to it. 

Psu-wisc week 1, Indiana being ranked, Iowa and ISU both being ranked, La Lafayette being ranked are all out of the ordinary and added 4 ranked losses.

Why does it matter which teams are ranked? There are always 25 teams ranked. The matchups were the main driving force I think.
