Showing Which Teams Have the Best Win-Loss Records Considering Their Schedules—to Date

TCU Closes In on Georgia

  • The undefeated Horned Frogs have accomplished almost as much on the season as the undefeated Bulldogs, as they are separated by just .003
  • The order of the top-10 stays exactly the same as last week except for Tennessee’s falling 3 spots to #8 (after losing at South Carolina), while Alabama, Clemson, and USC each moved up a spot as a result
  • #3 Ohio State hosts #4 Michigan this week, which will leave at most 3 undefeated teams heading into the conference championship games
  • #5 Alabama has played the nation’s 3rd-toughest schedule to date
  • The SEC, Big 12, and Pac-12 are dominating the top-25, with 16 of the 25 teams coming from those conferences
  • The Sun Belt lands 2 teams in the top-25
  • Every Big 12 team has a rating over .500 (while all but one SEC team does—Texas A&M)

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.  Posting large margins 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 ninth week, and each team’s ranking reflects its actual accomplishments — on the field, to date — 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.
