2009 Week 11 College Football Ratings/Rankings and Summary

Ratings through week 11 (games played thru 14-Nov).  These are also at http://sites.google.com/site/computerratings/ncaa-football/ncaa-ratings.  Note that the East Carolina at Tulsa game played this evening will be included in week 11 and the ratings at the link above updated at its conclusion.

Alabama stays #1 as they have been nearly every week since week 3 and there is a bit of a shakeup behind them as Texas and TCU move up a spot each at the expense of Florida which drops to #4.  Florida drops in part due to only winning by 10 against a #51 South Carolina (while Alabama walloped a #49 Mississippi St. and Texas did the same to a #59 Baylor), but also due to prior opponent Tennessee losing badly to Ole Miss whom Florida has not played.  In any case, right now the computer would pick Alabama by 2.2 over Florida in the SEC championship game so it will be interesting to see what Vegas ultimately puts it at.

The surprise is probably TCU making the move into the top-3.  They came in to the week #4 and easily handled an 8-2 Utah team whose only other loss was on the road to Oregon, and couple that with TCU's win at 7-3 Clemson and 31 point win at 8-2 BYU says they move to #3.  Some may be surprise that Cincinnati drops a spot but a 3 point win at home over #36 West Virginia did not impress the computer.

We still have 6 undefeated teams and all are projected to stay that way with only Cincinnati projected in being in danger with a 45% chance of losing one game.
The computer had a good week against the spread after 2 fantastic ones going 32-27 and had about a push with Vegas going 48-11 picking winners against Vegas' 47-10.  Full prediction performance here and if you are interested in a newsletter with additional details on picks against the spread, best picks, and locks, see this.
