Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football, where Dan Lanning is contemplating cashing out his entire 401k to invest in crypto:
First Quarter: Ranking the unbeatens | Second Quarter: One-loss Playoff path | Third Quarter: Programs stuck in mediocrity

After several eligibility waivers were denied, costing him the first half of North Carolina’s season, Walker broke out with three touchdowns against Miami.
Hello there, and welcome to the Week 6 Power Rankings.
There is a freedom and a lightness to the idea that no more undefeated teams remain. We can drop all the mythos and agree on the one abiding truth that gets us through this universe together: no one is immune to dropping a game against PJ Walker.
In all seriousness, it was refreshing to see the 49ers look human. It was refreshing to see Jalen Hurts’s humanity cost the Eagles. It was refreshing to see some clubs like the Brows and the Jets log what we’d consider signature wins of this particular era.
