College Football Week 14 Ratings and Rankings - LSU a solid #1, Alabama stays #2

This week's ratings and rankings are now posted.  All of the regular season games are complete except for Army vs Navy, so this is pretty much it until the bowl games.

At the top, LSU and Alabama remain a clear #1 and #2, LSU extending their lead after their convincing win over Georgia.  Oklahoma State does move back ahead of Oregon and has a little separation after their statement game in beating Oklahoma.

My computer never fell in love with Houston like the polls did, and their loss drops them from #11 to #21.  My computer thought Boise State was better all year, and now the polls will agree.  Similarly, it never liked Virginia Tech, they were only #24 and with their schedule them being in the BCS top-10 let alone the top-5 was a farse, and now they are down to #29.

So that leaves us with my computer agreeing with the likely BCS result of saying LSU and Alabama are the two best teams and they'll play in the BCS title game.  However, my BCS algorithm says different, having Oklahoma State #2.  Even my regular algorithm says they played a tougher schedule than LSU or Alabama but their loss to Iowa State hurts them.

The regular algorithm top-25 is below, the full rankings on the web-site.
