Between the Macbook biting the dust and travel by both me and my boss in consecutive weeks, it has been about a month since I was last able to update my power ratings for college football. The holiday week allowed me to finally get them updated this week.
This is my first update since the Tua injury, and Alabama slides down to number four in my rankings. That is probably a spot or two higher than most, as I’m giving credit to Nick Saban to be smart enough to negate some of the dropoff through game plan. I think his injury would mean a bigger drop off to Mac Jones with most other coaches. That being said, I still like Auburn this week at the +4 number from early in the week.
This is also my first update since the Illinois surge, and they check in at number 59, easily their best number of the year. Just in time for injuries to mount. I’d like to resist making some Peters jokes, but damn did he go limp after that hit last week.
