2015 Ratings, Week 12

Pretty thrilled.  The five teams I think have the best shot to make the playoff, Clemson, MSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma and Alabama, are all in the top 20.  Even Alabama's bye week didn't hurt them like it usually does every year.

And for all the bellyaching done all year about Baylor's schedule, look at Iowa's.  You'll have to scroll down a bit.  Sagarin "agrees" with me, having the teams at 65 and 62 respectively.  I saw a writer point out today that Iowa played Pitt, and even more humorously, Iowa State out of conference.  I guess it counts less if you play Iowa State in-conference.

If MSU had not lost to Nebraska, their coefficient would be a full .0700 ahead of Toledo.  They would be as far ahead of second as second is ahead of 35th.  Road wins and a SOS that improves leaps and bounds every week will do that.  I do hope that they don't suffer the fate of Central Florida:  finished first in 2013, currently 124th.
