I am an expert on all things college football. I have a college football weekly podcast and a weekly college football gambling podcast. Both of which are on the Iron Ostrich Network. I also write about sports and gambling one the gridiron heroics website.

I apologize for the tardiness of the power rankings for the best conference in college football. I already have the ACC, the Big 12, the Big 10 and the PAC 12 done. Now it is time for the heavy hitter of the power five conferences. Remember the slogan “It Just Means More”. Presenting: This week’s SEC power rankings: Tier 1 Power Rankings: Playoff Contenders  #1 Tennessee The Vols don’t move from the number one spot in the power rankings this week. They have the best quality win and the most wins versus the top 25 schools in the country. Hendon…

So now this is my third time writing this power rankings blog tonight. For some reason, I would write it and it would never save. So you know I am in a good mood while writing this one. I am also at twitter war with Oklahoma State fans for some reason. At least I got the worst conference, the Big 10, out already. I would have jumped right off the Skyway Bridge if I had re-write that one. Tier 1 Power Rankings: Playoff Contenders #1 TCU Look I can’t fight this team anymore. Sonny Dykes and the Horned Frogs are…

This is now the fourth time I am writing this blog for the ACC Power Rankings. Freaking word press was not saving my work and if it doesn’t save this time, I am jumping off the SkyWay Bridge. I already have the worst conference, the Big 10, and the most electric, the Big 12, done. I really hope I get through this one because most of these teams suck. Tier 1 Power Rankings: Playoff Contenders #1 Clemson This team did not look great last week versus a very overrated Syracuse team. They have questions at QB, but their defense did…

I think it is fair to say that if the conferences were in the power rankings the PAC 12 would be top three. Most of the schools in this conference are either going to make a bowl or right on the cusp of making a bowl. It is clear to say that the PAC 12 top to bottom is better than the Big 10 and ACC, right there with the SEC and Big 12. Tier 1 Power Rankings: Playoff Contenders #1 Oregon This is not a shocking reveal at number one in the power rankings. I am honestly shocked that…

Yeah, that time of the week again y’all. Time for SpikedJohnnyB’s power rankings. Credit to me for saying I have been wrong on individual games, but the power rankings have been pretty damn spot on. This week I am starting with the worst power 5 conference to get it out of the way to be honest. Tier 1 Power Rankings: Playoff Contenders #1 Ohio State Alright, Buckeye fans, while I do have you on top of the power rankings again, there are issues. The offense didn’t really look that great versus Iowa.  I know they scored a lot of points,…

Every week the AP comes out and teams feel like they are undervalued and under ranked. I’m talking to you Clemson football fans. You have been complaining about their rankings saying they deserve to be in the top 4. Well, this game vs Syracuse just proved you don’t. Not only for the play on the field but this. https://twitter.com/CFBONFOX/status/1583906243222962177?s=20&t=9QImcc-VGox9GXEf4qRa5A Clemson Football Fans First off I understand this is your tradition. This is the equivalent of everyone gets a trophy. Why storm the field? Really? Now the rest of the piece will be bashing Clemson football fans as if I didn’t…

Yeah, yeah, I know everyone on every sports site or gambling site has “best bets”.  How original, Johnny, you are just like the rest of them. What makes you think your picks are the best? You are probably just biased and don’t know what you are talking about. HAHA. Just check out the Spiked College Football Show. I am college football. https://open.spotify.com/show/3F1SiZu9WqNzqpytNO10Bg?si=6ebcc0a486cc429c You see, unlike most of my internet gambling cohorts, I don’t talk out of my ass. I watch all the games, and actually bet on them. Not fake money, real picks. I have the receipts. I am documented…

The Hollywood-style ending of the huge SEC game between Tennessee and Alabama game had a shocking incident. Video rolls as Crimson Tide WR Jermaine Burton assaults a woman while she was storming the field. Now, these are serious allegations against the transfer from Georgia, but the tape doesn’t lie. https://twitter.com/VolCreatures/status/1582491287047254016?s=20&t=KmpNLIU8bc8tQ6LITUUh6Q As you can see from the tweet above, he clearly assaults the woman while she was storming the field. I really do not know how to address this issue. I mean, “Burton assaults woman” is a huge headline, but is that the whole story? Does he bear all the blame?…

So, the huge question I have for the perennial SEC power. Are you allowed to play Tennessee Dixieland Delight in Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium ever again? Did Tennessee and Hendon Hooker stop you from ever playing that song ever again? We can all agree it was an absolutely awesome scene in Knoxville after the win for the Vols. The game on the fields is over, and the debate for who owns the song is so on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4kbjRm22SY Facts of the Case: Dixieland Delight Whose song is it? Well, the song is written by a band named Alabama. The song is clearly…

Alright, the last of the Power 5 Conferences to receive power rankings. Did I save the best for last? Hell no, the SEC, PAC 12, Big 12, and ACC are all better than this poor conference this year. From top to bottom this is by far the worst conference in the Power 5. The weakness of the conference this year has led to different teams moving up in the power rankings that are usually not there. Tier 1 Power Rankings: Actual Contenders #1 Ohio State By far and away the best team in this conference. The offense has countless draft picks…
