1/2/2011 College Football Ratings and Rankings

Most of the bowl games have been played, a few important ones still to go of course, so I've updated the computer's ratings and rankings.

There is no change in the top-3, each team having not played yet, although each team's rating improved a bit due to prior opponents.  Behind them though, Boise State does move ahead of TCU even though both won.  Why do you ask?

Simply put, the teams were very close previously, TCU ahead by less than 0.4 ratings points, and BSU's win was more impressive than TCU's.  How is that?  My computer wasn't impressed with Wisconsin as much as the pollsters coming in having them #12 leading to a predicted win by TCU by 4.8, so their win by 2 was a little below expectations so they drop a bit.  Couple that with BSU beating TCU prior opponent Utah by more than expected and Boise moved ahead of TCU.

The biggest movers up are Washington and Mississippi State (both up 7), NC State (up 6), and Kentucky, Florida State, and LSU (up 5).  The movers down are Nebraska (down 9) and Baylor (down 8).

Here is the top-30.
