Uh, oh. We have entered Week 10, and this marker means we have entered the realm of the College Football Playoff Committee’s rankings. On November 1, the committee revealed its first iteration of rankings to the public. So, it’s about to get confusing. While the Associated Press holds the monopoly on rankings through the first ten weeks, the introduction of the College Football Playoffs muddies that water.

Flash forward to now, and the AFC South expectations have completely upended. What to Make…

Additionally, if things only get worse, there is no question as to who will take the fall. After two consecutive losses to begin the season, the Bengals sit at 0-2 and are at the bottom of the complicated AFC North. Yes, the AFC champions from a season ago are now at the bottom of the barrel in their division. It might be hard to swallow for critics and fans alike, as the hype the Bengals got in…
