Clemson Football: Ranking College Football resumes after Week 3
By John Chancey
AP Teams #6 – #25
Here is the balance of the Top 25 and their resume scores.
Oklahoma: 10 – road win at Nebraska
USC: 10 – road win at Stanford
Kentucky: 11 – road win at Florida
Oklahoma State: 6
Arkansas: 6
Tennessee: 12 – road win at Top 25 Pittsburgh
NC State: 8
Utah: 2 – they haven’t played anyone of significance to offset the road loss to Florida.
Penn State: 14 – the best resume score out there. The only team with two true road wins against Power Five opponents.
Oregon: 3.5 – loss to Georgia
Ole Miss: 9 – road win at Georgia Tech
Baylor: 2 – loss to BYU
Washington: 6
BYU: 7 – big win against Baylor, road loss to Oregon
Florida: 5
Wake Forest: 9
Texas: 3
Texas A&M: -1 – you are officially allowed to make fun of the Aggies. The only AP Top 25 team with a negative score.
Pittsburgh: 3
Miami: 2
Wins against the Top 25 count big time to the resume – the CFP committee will look favorably on those resumes. Same with road wins. Road wins against the Top 25? Let’s just say Tennessee’s win at #24 Pitt will go a long way…..if Pitt stays in the Top 25.
What about the rest of the pack? Do any of the upstarts of 2022 have better resume scores than the Top 25 teams?
