Heavily Biased Top 10

In this week's episode, we look at the field as chosen by the selection committee and how they match up with the predictions in the Heavily Biased Top 10. We'll talk about the process and how we come to the final at-large selections. 

In this episode we go inside conference championship week and look at the choices remaining to us for the college football playoffs.I produced some slides and a YouTube version of the show which walks through the comparison. It can be found here: https://youtu.be/83Hk7IsELmY

In this episode we have a quick react to the week 13 rankings and some blind comparisons. I've put slides behind this as well to make the numbers a little easier to deal with. Check out our youtube channel for the video versions: https://www.youtube.com/@HeavilyBiasedT10

In this episode we take a look at week 13 of the college football season and where we are in the conference races headed into rivalry week. Get ready to pull out that hate for the team you hate so much... and prepare yourself for the ire required to deal with the selection committee.

This week on the Heavily Biased Top 10 we take a look at the first week of November of the 2025 season as we put a bow on the tenure of Hugh Freeze at Auburn (the 11th FBS coach to go this year)We'll also look at where the conference races stand, talk terms of engagement, look at the how bids to the playoff are shaping up by conference, and react to the first CFP rankings of the year. 

In the final episode before the first CFP rankings, we take a look at where we are through October and 9 weeks of the college football season. 

Winning a conference championship (and getting a playoff spot) takes 13 games to do, so at game 7 we're looking at the halfway point. It's only fitting that we win the middle eight minutes as we look at the week 8 wrap.

We're at that point already...? Most teams in CFB have finished 3 games and are one quarter of the way done with the 2025 season. In this episode we'll recap the week that was week 3 of 2025 CFBIn this episode: - A playoff spot opens- A new best team in Texas?- The ACC identity crisis- Wild finishes in Knoxville and South Bend- Anybody know these teams? P4 teams without a non-conference P4 game- We hardly knew you (this season): a look at the coaches we've already lost- Week 3 conference rankings (by projected playoff spots)You can check out the podcast as a YouTube video, which will have slides and a better visual of the statistics when we talk those numbers late in the season. https://youtu.be/LYdJZ4fzXO4

We're in the early season and we've had some good games, but there's still a lot to learn about where the 2025 season is headed. In this episode, we'll take a look at the first two weeks of the season and give some context for why the sky isn't falling for a couple of the big names that we're not used to seeing at x-1 this early. 

2025 College Football season is only a few days away and it's time for the Undefeated Edition of the show.For those of you new here, accompanied by written primers mid-week, each Sunday of the college football season I'll go through the action of the previous Saturday, discussing top plays and teams, how conferences are stacking up against one another, and give data and analytics behind my picks for who are the best teams in college football.  The podcast is available each week on youtube, apple, or wherever you get your podcasts. The companion slides will be on the same youtube channel as the podcast each week that I produce them, more heavily weighted on the back part of the season where the rankings begin.

The finale of the 2024 season for CFB and the Heavily Biased Top 10 features a recap of how we got here and an evaluation of how the (written) version did in preseason. Look for more episodes about monthly through the offseason as we get special topics and deep dives. Enjoy the championship. 

This episode covers a rundown of the 2024 CFB bowl season by conferences as well as the first two rounds of the playoffs. We also take a quick look at the matchups for the Semifinals coming up this week. 

In this episode, we talk a little bit of bowl history, some of the merits to playing them, and discuss the first round matchups for the 2024 playoff. 

With Army set to take on Navy in the solo spot this week we take a glimpse into the history of the two oldest service academies and examine the rivalry that almost wasn't. Music for this show comes from the impressive archives of the Navy band at navyband.navy.milIf you're a current or former military and here for a listen, thank you so much for your service.
