College Football Rankings: 1 To 130: Week 1
College Football News 2021 college football rankings after Week 1 for all 130 teams with results and who’s up next week.
The CFN rankings are always based on results as much as possible, with the belief that if you don’t go by what happened, then what’s the point of playing the games?
For example, until there’s another variable involved, at the moment, UTSA has to be ranked higher than Illinois after with win in Champaign. UTSA also has to be ranked higher than Nebraska, who lost to Illinois.
Also, our rankings fluctuate wildly depending on the moment. If you really are a great team that just so happened to completely crash against an FCS team – hey, Washington, what’s up? – then that’s reflected here. However, we don’t want to overreact too much, especially after a full Week 1.
The Louisville-Ole Miss and Notre Dame-Florida State rankings might change depending on what happens in those two games.
