OFFICIAL NCAAF Rank\'em thread: October 14, 2007
OK, the Arizona State game's final now, so we can start a rank'em thread in earnest without doing anything crazy like giving the top spot to Cal. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I'll post my rankings shortly. |

Michigan beat Penn State.
Thoughts? If Michigan beats Illinois (who also beat Penn State) next week do they get to jump them in the rankings? |

Edit: You edited your post, so I'm editing mine. Anyway, the reason Penn State's above Michigan despite the H2H has a lot to do with the edit. Basically, Penn State's played much much better at Happy Valley than they have on the road. Sagarin had PSU 4 points better on a neutral field going into today and that was before they waxed Wisconsin. I just think that their overall resume's better at this point of the season.

Sorry yeah, I'm drunk so I'm editing my post like crazy. So why is Ohio State over 25 spots off from Hawaii? What is different about their resumes?
Neither has played a top 25 team. I mean I'm not arguing OSU is better, I just don't see why they get so much credit just for being in a BSC conference. |

Hawaii not only hasn't played a Top 25 team, they haven't played a Top 100 team. The best team they've played so far is San Jose State who was ranked #111 by Sagarin predictor going into this week. Ohio State's beaten Purdue and Washington who are both decent. (Top 50 at least.)
Also, they've had to go to overtime twice while Ohio State's won every game they've played this season by at least 16 points. |

I'll get back to you with the rest. [/ QUOTE ] Like OSU, Boston College, and Hawaii, Arizona State has not faced a top 32 opponent this season. USF would be far more deserving of the number one ranking IMO, since they have beaten both Auburn and West Virginia. * Using iggy's list. |
