College Football News 2022 college football rankings after Week 6 for all 131 teams with results and who’s up next week.
The whole belief system of respecting the results when it comes to ranking teams doesn’t go out the window almost midway through the season, but it gets a major overhaul.
Yes, with no other variables, if Team A beat Team B, and Team B beat Team C, it’s only fair to rank the three A-B-C. But that’s much, much harder to do now.
The outlier upsets like Appalachian State over Texas A&M and Marshall over Notre Dame – along with the big hits teams might take for losing to an FCS program – aren’t ignored, but they’re lessened a bit. Teams change, some start to improve with interim head coaches – hello, Nebraska and Arizona State – and at this point, rankings become more of a snapshot of the moment.
This week there’s one huge factor that had to be taken into consideration: injured quarterbacks.
It’s part of the deal, but we’re not going to punish Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma that much for losing without the No. 1 QB – okay, so the Sooners take a giant dip.
With that said, would Alabama have won easily over Texas A&M with Bryce Young under center? Maybe, but the team has now played three okay teams – Texas, Arkansas, and Texas A&M – and struggled against them all. For now, the rankings need to reflect that.
