Showing Which Teams Have Accomplished the Most to Date

'Bama Is #1, but All Eyes Will Be on #2 at #6

  • Alabama, Texas Tech, Texas, Utah, and Florida are the most accomplished teams so far this season
  • Half of the Big 12 is in the top-25 (6 of 12 teams)
  • Two-thirds of the ACC is between #19 and #40 (8 of 12 teams)
  • #3 Texas has played the nation's toughest schedule
  • The BCS is a major reason why college football has by far the most meaningful regular season in all of sports, and this coming weekend features 3 more matchups of top-15 teams: #2 Texas Tech at #6 Oklahoma, #15 BYU at #4 Utah, and #13 Michigan St. at #9 Penn St.

The Anderson & Hester Rankings are distinct in four ways: 

1. Unlike the polls, these rankings do not reward teams for running up scores.  Teams are rewarded for beating quality opponents, which is the object of the game.  Margin of victory, which is not the object of the game, is not considered. 

2. Unlike the polls, these rankings do not prejudge teams.  These rankings first appear after the season's fifth week, and each team's ranking reflects its actual accomplishments on the field, not its perceived potential. 

3. These rankings compute the most accurate strength of schedule ratings.  Each team's opponents and opponents' opponents are judged not only by their won-lost records but also, uniquely, by their conferences' strength (see #4). 

4. These rankings provide the most accurate conference ratings.  Each conference is rated according to its non-conference won-lost record and the difficulty of its non-conference schedule.
