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.

[iggymcfly]

1. Ohio State
2. USF
3. LSU
4. Oklahoma
5. Oregon
6. Kentucky
7. Boston College
8. South Carolina
9. West Virginia
10. California
11. Arizona State
12. Florida
13. Kansas
14. Missouri
15. USC
16. Auburn
17. Virginia Tech
18. Tennessee
19. Cincinnatti
20. Kansas State
21. Texas
22. Georgia
23. Penn State
24. Michigan
25. Texas Tech

Close: Virginia, Boise State, Illinois, Rutgers, Alabama, Hawaii, UCLA

You can see how desperate I got at the bottom by looking at my close rankings. Yes, Hawaii cracked my Top 32.

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.

I just posted this on the other thread. Don't have time to sort the mess at 10 and beyond.

1.OSU
2.LSU
3.USF
4.Oklahoma
5.Kentucky
6.BC
7.Oregon
8.SCarolina
9. Cal

10...USC, VTech, Arizona St.

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.

[iggymcfly]

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.

[MyTurn2Raise]

Based purely on what the teams have achieved on the field thus far


1. South Florida
2. Boston College
3. Ohio State
4. Arizona State
5. LSU
6. Oklahoma
7. Kansas
8. Cal
9. Oregon
10. South Carolina
