Welcome to the 2018 BSL Deified Dozen rankings. Each week during the season our panel of experts will rank the Top 12 teams in college football. Members of our panel include: CT Schwink, Rob Shields, Mike Lowe, Zack Kiesel, Brian (Pedro Cerrano) McGuire, Chris (Ricker Says) Ricker, Steve Birrer, Mike Randall and Chris Garman.
Week 11 lacked much drama in college football. Our Deified Dozen saw just one notable change, as Kentucky dropped out and was replaced at #12 by Syracuse, the first ever appearance in the Dozen for the revitalized Orange. Washington State and West Virginia swapped spots, but other than that there was no movement in our rankings.
Week 12 features one head-to-head matchup in the Dozen, with newcomer Syracuse getting a chance to immediately show they belong with a trip to Yankee Stadium to face #3 Notre Dame. #11 UCF is the only other team that figures to face a legitimate challenge, with a visit from Cincinnati, who are ranked in both major polls as well as this week’s College Football Playoff rankings. With this being Cupcake Week in the SEC, there don’t even look to be too many potential upsets lurking, but you never know.
