BCS rankings for this week !

SEC, Big Ten dominate College Football Computer Composite



Five of the top six teams in college football call the SEC or Big Ten home, according to the former BCS computers.

The newest College Football Computer Composite, calculated after Week 8's results, have LSU at No. 1 for the second consecutive week, with Alabama at No. 3. Nos. 4, 5 and 6 belong to the Big Ten, with unbeatens Ohio State, Michigan State and Iowa occupying those respective spots.

Only Clemson, which jumped six spots this week after beating Miami 58-0, breaks the SEC and Big Ten lock on the top six.

The College Football Computer Composite combines five of the computer formulas used in the former Bowl Championship Series standings to remove the human element from college football rankings. It is compiled by taking the geometric mean of rankings formulated by Richard Billingsley, Wes Colley, Ken Massey, Jeff Sagarin and Peter Wolfe. Among the metrics feeding the CFCC are wins and losses, strength of schedule, home-field advantage, recency of game and, in Massey and Sagarin's case, margin of victory.

The largest leap among the top 25 teams this week belongs to Temple, which leaped eight spots to No. 18 in advance of hosting Notre Dame on Saturday. The largest leap overall was achieved by Georgia Tech when it sent Florida State to its first regular-season loss since Oct. 2012. Georgia Tech jumped from No. 70 to No. 51.

Meanwhile, the team that made the biggest jump after Week 7, Utah State, had the biggest fall this week. Utah State jumped 23 spots after beating Boise State on Oct. 16 yet gave up almost all of its gain this week after losing big at San Diego State.

It's very necessary for my purposes. Reasons.

The Big XII fireworks will start in a week or so...November is gonna be a m e a t g r i n d e r.

Bama at 3 is kind of a joke, but it's BCS lol

 

[TDs3nOut]

True. Baylor, OU, and TCU are all legitimate candidates for the playoff. Can't help but wonder, however, whether not having a championship game might cost that conference a spot, perhaps for the second time in two years.

And so is Iowa at 6...

If one of Baylor, OSU, or TCU come out of November unscathed...don't see how they won't be the #2 seed.

OU would be a solid 3/4.

I don't think Okie Light would pass Clemson. They'd be 3 though, I think.

I don't think Okie Light would pass Clemson. They'd be 3 though, I think.

Sure they would. They would have to beat TCU, Baylor, and OU in that time. That would skyrocket them up the rankings. I give them about a 0% chance of actually doing it, but they would certainly earn their spot if they did.

I guess it just all depends. That Texas loss on OU really hurts. I think they end up 8-4 in this scenario. One of TCU or Baylor will be 10-2 (at best) and the other 11-1 (at best).

Clemson would have a win over 11-1 ND (I think they win out), and they're already at 9 so they'll likely be top 5 (if not in the playoff). Then 10-2 FSU and probably 11-2 Duke/UNC. I think ND would be the highest ranked win for either team and OU would be the lowest.
