College football shockingly predictable at halfway mark

It seems like yesterday that the humidity was thick and college football was kicking off in August. Now that the temperatures have dropped and the days have become shorter, it is time to recap and assess all that has occurred in college football thus far as most teams have played six games out of their scheduled 12.

The headline this year in college football is to expect the expected. A sport typically pigeonholed as being unpredictable and upset-filled has been incredibly predictable this year. The top-10 national rankings have been virtually unchanged since Aug. 24. Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State have emerged as the favorites to make the College Football Playoff in December.
