Week 15 - 2012 College Football Rankings

Only one game was played last weekend, so this week's rankings will be a lot like last week's rankings. Our analysis says that the national championship game ought to be between Oregon and Alabama. Sorry, Notre Dame. Too many close games against inferior competition.

We took our rankings and substituted them for the BCS rankings. Then, we went ahead and assigned each of the BCS bowls as they would have happened under the assumption that the selection rules would have been followed and each bowl, when it chose, would prefer the highest ranked team that it could choose. It changes things a bit (the biggest change is that our analysis gives Utah State an automatic bid instead of Northern Illinois). Here are the BCS bowls as they came out for us:

National Championship Game	#1 Oregon	#2 Alabama
Orange Bowl	#14 Florida State	#49 Louisville
Rose Bowl	#20 Wisconsin	#10 Stanford
Fiesta Bowl	#8 Kansas State	#5 Notre Dame
Sugar Bowl	#3 Florida	#15 Utah State

Week 14 - 2012 College Football Rankings

It's all about timing, and about scheduling. Imagine if Oregon's loss to Stanford had come in the first game of the season. Imagine if Alabama's loss to Texas A&M had come in the last game of the season. Imagine if Oregon would have played Stanford at home instead of on the road (which is what Notre Dame did this year). Imagine if Texas A&M had beaten either Florida or LSU (games Alabama had no control over), and therefore had ended up in the SEC Championship game instead of Alabama. The timing of Alabama, Kansas State and Oregon's losses had as much to do with who is playing in the National Championship game as who they lost to, where they lost and how they lost - in fact, even more so. If you stop to think about it, Oregon's loss should probably have been the least damaging, given that it was on the road, in overtime to a Top Ten quality team (and the only team that of the teams lost to that was a contender in their league for a conference championship). Yet, of these three one-loss teams, Oregon's loss ends up being the most devastating, costing the Ducks both a shot at the national championship and a shot at the PAC-12 championship.

Our analysis removes the issue of timing. All games are equal, regardless of when they are played. It also removes the issue of conference championships. It is hard to put Oregon in the National Championship game when they didn't even play in their Conference Championship game, but when it comes to analyzing the seasons, the fact that Oregon lost to the wrong team (the one that had a good enough record in-conference to tie them for the division title) and as a result, lost the PAC-12 championship essentially on a tie-breaker rule, is just one game against a really good team. If you think about it, though, Oregon's loss of the division and therefore conference championship on a tie breaker seems somehow fitting, or at least ironically consistent, since even the game itself was a tie at the end of regulation. But in any case, when you remove the peripheral stuff and compare games to games, our analysis shows Oregon has the "best" loss of any of these teams, and in fact, their wins are still enough to put them in the #1 spot, even over undefeated teams like Notre Dame and Ohio State. We're eager to find out if that will continue to be the case after the bowl games, even though Oregon won't be competing in the official national championship.

While we're at it, we're also wondering how Northern Illinois ended up being able to jump six spots in the final BCS poll and become the first non-AQ team selected for a BCS bowl without going undefeated. Is this East Coast bias at work again? True, the MAC is better than it has been most years, but our analysis shows that it still just isn't that good, still coming in behind such powerhouse conferences as the WAC, Sun Belt and the MWC in terms of top-to-bottom league performance. In fact, if there is a league that should have been getting more attention, it is the WAC.

The results of our analysis show that this year, the top third of the WAC was fourth strongest when compared to the best teams in the other conferences - meaning the best teams in the WAC were better than the best teams in any other conference except the SEC, PAC 12 and Big 12. While the MAC was getting lots of attention for beating some bottom to middle-of-the-road AQ conference teams in individual games, teams like Utah State and San Jose State were actually outperforming any of the MAC teams, but nobody noticed, mostly because it was somehow assumed those teams would lose to Louisiana Tech when the finally played - the only team from the WAC anyone bothered to rank for most of the season. Then, when both of those teams beat Louisiana Tech in impressive fashion, it was too late for either team to make up the kind of ground they needed to be considered for a BCS game both teams probably deserved more than Northern Illinois.

How can we make such a statement? Our analysis proves it. In fact, our analysis shows that no less than five non-AQ teams had better seasons this year than Northern Illinois, including three teams from the WAC: Utah State, San Jose State and Louisiana Tech. That none of these teams had the almost blemish-free record that Northern Illinois did is just a testament to the level of competition they were willing to face and compete favorably with. Utah State lost its two games by a total of five points on the road to Wisconsin, who will be playing in the Rose Bowl this year, and in-state rival BYU, a team who very nearly beat potential national champion Notre Dame on the road and our analysis puts at #29, right behind Northern Illinois.

We'll be writing more about this and will be posting our BCS bowl matchups - how the bowls would have turned out if our rankings were used to make the bowl matchup decisions. We'll also be releasing the results of our analysis of 100 years of football history program rankings in the next couple of weeks. Watch for it. 1912 was the first year in which a touchdown was worth six points and a field goal was worth three. With the finish of the 2011 season, one hundred years of football had been played under this scoring system. Which programs have had the most success during that hundred years? You probably won't be surprised at which programs are found near the top, but you'll want to see exactly where your favorite program falls and how it compares to other programs in its class.

In the meantime, here is the complete list of rankings after 14 weeks. There is only one regular season game to go - the annual Army-Navy game next week. Then, it's bowl time. We'll be participating with our rankings in some of the online prediction games, as we have in previous years, and as usual, expect to perform very well (although our rankings were never intended to be good predictors of future games). Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted on how we do.

Week 13 - 2012 College Football Rankings

Notre Dame is almost assuredly in the National Championship Game after going through the entire season undefeated. Yet, our analysis still only has the Fighting Irish with the fifth best season this year, behind Oregon, Alabama, Florida and Texas A&M. We think a question still remains whether the Notre Dame offense is good enough to put them at the top of the list. They had several games this season that should not have been as close as they ended up being.

Of course, the Ohio State Buckeyes also finished the season undefeated. They won't be going to any bowl and are ineligible for the National Championship because they are on probation, but even without that, the Buckeyes didn't even show up in our Top Ten, finishing their season ranked #11. (Losses by other teams during the conference championship games and the bowls might be enough to move them up. We'll just have to wait and see.)

Here is our complete list of rankings after the thirteenth week, with only some conference championship games and a couple of other assorted games remaining in the regular season:

Week 12 - 2012 College Football Rankings

Last week, we made the statement that Oregon had separated themselves so much from everyone that even with a loss, it was doubtful that anyone would take away their #1 spot in our rankings. At the time we had no idea that a week later we'd have a chance to show how true that statement was ... and it did prove to be true. Oregon lost in overtime to Stanford, but still retain their #1 ranking for the best season among FBS schools. Alabama is still #2, after beating an FCS team soundly. Undefeated Notre Dame, who we guess will probably take over the #1 spot in the polls is still only #5 in our rankings. Closer-than-they-should-have-been wins such as against BYU (who is barely a .500 team, although they are still #30 in our rankings) and Pittsburgh (currently ranked #81) are still holding the Fighting Irish back from a higher ranking in our analysis.

Week 11 - 2012 College Football Rankings

Alabama lost. But the Crimson Tide and the Oregon Ducks had separated themselves so much from the pack, that a close loss to another Top 10 team wasn't enough to drop Alabama from the #2 spot in our rankings. Of course, now anyone would be hard pressed to catch up with Oregon - even if the Ducks were to lose. Probably the bigger consequence of that game is that with the victory, Texas A&M moves up to the number five spot ahead of undefeated Notre Dame, even though the Aggies have two losses. Here's the whole list:

1. Oregon Ducks (10-0) - 1.0
2. Alabama Crimson Tide (9-1) - 2.5

Week 9 - 2012 College Football Rankings

With losses for Florida, Mississippi State, Oregon State, Rutgers, and Ohio, six undefeated teams remain after the ninth week of the season. Alabama and Kansas State's impressive blowout victories over previously undefeated Mississippi State and Top 25 team Texas Tech were not enough for either team to overtake the Oregon Ducks, despite the fact that the Ducks were facing the Colorado Buffaloes (currently ranked #120). Oregon's 70-14 victory was enough for the Ducks to retain first place in our rankings - at least for this week.
