THE 2026 TOP WHATEVER: WEEK FOUR

THE 2026 TOP WHATEVER: WEEK FOUR

Welcome to The Top Whatever, Channel 6’s ranking of all the teams we’d like to talk about after watching a weekend of college football. It's a superior system, in our considered professional opinions, to both the AP Poll (no inflation or contraction of teams included here to fit within some arbitrary number) and the Coaches Poll (actually is written by the people whose names are on it). If you don't see your team here, they probably didn't do anything interesting this week. Yes, we know that's Iowa at the top of the list there. "Interesting" is both correct and intentionally chosen.

ONE: IOWA. Eat shit, America; here’s Iowa football. (Proud owners of a 20-19 road win over Michigan.)
