Week 11 Ratings

You know, it's pretty cruel that Kentucky and Colorado have to play the first and third toughest schedule in the land, respectively.  Perhaps they should be relegated to the ACC, which if you took Florida State out of the conference, would be the worst performer this year.  Even behind C-USA.





Biggest gain from Week 10: Bowling Green 94 -> 62, 32 places

Biggest loss from Week 10: Tulane 86 -> 109, 23 places

Sorry, Tulane.

For Entertainment Purposes Only Lock Of The Week, Week 11

South Carolina -14 v. Arkansas

Spurrier gets a bye week to prepare for a home game against Arkansas, a team that quit long ago.  Seems fairly straight-forward to me.

Last week:  Alabama @ LSU, total points 40 Under (correct)

Narrow victory but I'll take it.  Thankful Yeldon shook that dude because overtime would have been a killer.

Season:  6-4

Week 10 Ratings

We have consensus at number 1.  The AP, BCS, PRI and F/+ all agree that Alabama is number 1.





Biggest gain from Week 9:  San Diego State 97 -> 58, 39 places
Biggest loss from Week 9:  New Mexico 59 -> 89, 30 places




Things diverge fairly quickly after the top 9 or so.

Lock of the Week, Week 10

I haven't predicted this game correctly the last two meetings.  But I'm going to give it another shot:

Alabama at LSU, total points 40, taking the Under.

With that pick made, look for a 38-35 shootout.

Last week:  Ohio -7 at Miami (OH).  Incorrect.  Thanks, Solich.

Season:  5-4

Week 9 Ratings

As expected, Florida could have won 10 cocktail parties this weekend, and their grip on #1 wouldn't have lasted.






Biggest gain from Week 8:  Indiana 82 -> 40, 42 places
Biggest drop from Week 8:  Temple 57 -> 94, 37 places

For Entertainment Purposes Lock Of The Week, Week 9

Let's keep the momentum going with a trip to the MAC:

Ohio -7 at Miami (OH)

Last week:  Oregon State -10 v. Utah.  Pac-12 Saturday night snoozers are not the easiest thing to watch, even with a rooting interest.

Season:  5-3

Week 8 Ratings

Internet connectivity, can't live without it.  Please check the previous weeks for some revised ratings, I noticed a couple of calculation errors.

Everything is included in this post, including the F/+ comparison.  Nice to see that a fellow math-based formula overrated my alma mater.





Biggest gain from Week 7:  Oregon, 96 -> 42, 54 places
Biggest loss from Week 7:  Rice 30 -> 73, 43 places

Road wins @ Weis mean a lot, apparently.
