Its the first weekend of October and I’ve published my first rankings of the year in college football.

The biggest surprise is that Alabama is not [...]
Thanks to all the upsets this weekend, my rankings have been shuffled a bit. LSU continues to be a dominant #1. Virginia Tech climbs to #13 which is pretty amazing since they still have no offense.
