College Football Rankings: 1 To 131 After Week 4
College Football News 2022 college football rankings after Week 4 for all 131 teams with results and who’s up next week.
It’s our motto with the college football rankings that we try to never stray from: respect the results.
That’s a problem now.
Really, Tulane should be ranked ahead of Kansas State, who should be ranked ahead of Oklahoma, but Tulane just lost to Southern Miss, who lost to …
It doesn’t work.
Just trust us when we say we get it. There are a lot of insane inconsistencies and wild moves, especially for some teams that were great this weekend and should’ve moved up.
All of the bizarre upsets and twists in a fun start to the college football season changed up everything.
For example, do we think Texas A&M and Oklahoma would beat James Madison? Almost certainly. Would we pick the Aggies and Sooners over the Dukes? Yeah.
Is James Madison unbeaten after beating the Appalachian State team that beat Texas A&M a few weeks ago in College Station? Yeah. Did it destroy the Middle Tennessee team that just trucked Miami? Yeah.
To get this ultra-pretentious ramble there faster, it’s simple. Some – not all – of the unbeatens get a ton of respect in the Week 4 college football rankings.
This will all get cleared up over the next few weeks as more results come in, so PLEASE don’t get into too much of a twist if your team was impressive on Saturday but dropped; that meant other parts of the overall puzzle changed.
With all of that in mind, here are the wacky and wild Week 4 college football rankings.
