This week was the strangest and wildest of the 2024 college football season. A funny thing happened on the way there.
It just got a lot easier to rank things.
All in all, none of the big upsets should have been that surprising. In the end, Clemson did not beat a very good team; instead, it lost to Louisville, which had already lost to some very good teams that were ranked higher.
Also, things are about to get crazy in the Big 12. The Big Ten had some clear moments, and we can pretty much tell the strong teams from the pretend-great ones—at least for now.
Check out the Week 11 CFN College Football Rankings, which go from 1 to 134.
