Description

The Stick2Sports Power 15 is BACK, and after a chaotic Week 7 of college football, the numbers are telling a VERY different story from the AP Poll. BYU takes the No. 1 spot after beating Notre Dame, UCLA jumps to No. 2, and Kentucky somehow finds itself at No. 3. Meanwhile, Georgia, Notre Dame, and Indiana tumble. But what exactly is the Power 15 measuring? We break down the analytics, strength of record, team quality, relative dominance, and why the model doesn't always agree with conventional wisdom. Then, it's time for a serious Big 12 conversation. Is the conference genuinely deep, or are we confusing parity with championship-level quality? We examine the contenders, uneven schedules, and whether the Big 12 deserves multiple College Football Playoff bids. Over in the NFL, things aren't looking much better for some preseason contenders. 🏈 Are the Rams actually bad, or just incredibly unlucky? 🏈 Has Bo Nix regressed, or is Denver's offense holding him back? 🏈 Can C.J. Stroud and the Texans overcome a 0-4 start and get back into playoff contention? Analytics, arguments, and a little bit of chaos. Just another episode of Stick2Sports.
