Week 7 - 2012 College Football Rankings

It has been a good couple of weeks for the Oklahoma Sooners. A very good couple of weeks. Two weeks ago, the Sooners were 2-1 and ranked 40th in our rankings, having lost by five points at home to Kansas State. Well, it has turned out that Kansas State is pretty good. They are undefeated and currently ranked #6 in our rankings. And in the meantime, Oklahoma turned around and beat two very good teams in games that were not even close, winning at Texas Tech (currently ranked #7) by 21 and blowing out rival Texas (who we still have ranked at #22 after the loss) by six touchdowns. Blowout victories over Top 25 teams will move you up the rankings quickly, and this week, our analysis shows Oklahoma in the #3 spot, even with the loss to the Wildcats. In the meantime, Oregon had the bye this week that Alabama had last week, and the Crimson Tide have resumed the top spot in our Week 7 rankings.

Here is the full rankings list. Note there are still 12 undefeated teams and three winless teams. Currently, the lowest ranked undefeated team is #34 Ohio. While remaining undefeated through seven games is no easy task, the close games they've had against bad teams (such as beating winless #121 ranked Massachusetts by only three points) has kept them out of our Top 25, even though they are beginning to show up in some of the human polls (#25 in the AP Poll).:
