College Football Bottom 25 Poll, Week 9, 2022
I waited quite a while this year to start the College Football Bottom 25 poll. There are several reasons for the delay. First of all, I believe that I am the originator of the Bottom 25 (sadly not copyrighted) but now there are other “bottom” polls. Mine is still differentiated in that it is the only one still based almost entirely on record and head to head matchups. The other Bottom 25 I have seen is an actual pundit style examination done by ‘experts’ with insider knowledge for whom college football talent assessment is a career. That poll is probably better for bettors, but what kind of addict is pitting his paycheck against the over/under of a New Mexico/USF game in mid-November? Those people need help, period, not help with a point spread. The other “bottom” poll is ESPN’s Bottom 10, which is largely made even less legitimate than mine because it is usually a snark showcase highlighting a good team that just suffered a bad beat or the preseason top 10 team that is now...
