DISCLAIMER: I work for a major media affiliate but do not have a vote in the Associated Press poll so my opinion means virtually nothing. These rankings have nothing to do with preseason polls or last season’s results; they’re based on games that have been played this year only. The rankings will be volatile, especially…

PASADENA, CA – Utah wasted no time reminding the college football world of their identity, opening their non-conference slate with a decisive win over a familiar foe in UCLA.

Mitch Linsley Salt Lake City – Each year, it becomes increasingly difficult to call Utah a hidden gem.

The Vikings front office doesn’t want to win. I’m in my 20s and have never (and probably will never) experience a true championship from a team I care about (no offense, Minnesota Lynx or Gopher Men’s Hockey). Despite what you hear on the Vikings’ social media, their radio affiliate KFAN 100.3 or vikings.com’s talking head…
