Week 12 Solid Verbal Top 12 + 18 More
November 15, 2026
Rankings will be a little late this week. I usually try to get them by around 2:30 ET on Sundays, but this week will be delayed due to the rescheduled Ole Miss @ Oklahoma game. Neither team will make the top 12, so I may get that out on time. But Ole Miss is currently in the top 30 and would likely remain so even with a loss. So I can't completely fill out my rankings until that game has finished.
And Then There Were...Still Three
November 15, 2026
All three of our undefeated CFB teams continued their winning streaks this week. Utah was pretty close, but they escaped Tucson with the win.
Chance of finishing the regular season undefeated:
- #43 Tarleton State Texans (11-0) 67.9%
- #2 Utah Utes (10-0) 67.7%
- #3 UCLA Bruins (10-0) 55%
Chance all three make it is up to 25.3%.

- Louisville Cardinals (6-3)
- Liberty Flames (8-1)
- North Texas Mean Green (7-2)
I really wanted to put Utah at #1. I just couldn't. Maybe next week if they beat Arizona.
The Buckeyes are in free fall. They could lose all three of their remaining games. It's time for them to start thinking about next year.
And Then There Were Three
November 8, 2026
The Hurricanes fell to the Irish and the Lumberjacks dropped one to the Lamar Cardinals. That leaves three undefeated D-I teams in the CFB.
- #46 Tarleton State Texans (10-0) 49.9%
- #4 UCLA Bruins (9-0) 39.7%
- #1 Utah Utes (9-0) 39.3%
Tarleton State is basically 50/50 to finish the regular season undefeated. And the Bruins and Utes are essentially 2 in 5.
UCLA was picked by the Big Ten beat writers to finish 13th in the Big Ten this year. They are three games away from an undefeated season.
Chance that all three finish 12-0: 7.7%
