Bowl Championship Splendor

  • Ohio State cracks the top-5 for the first time this season
  • Baylor cracks the top-10 for the first time since the Bears’ loss at current-#34 West Virginia on October 18
  • More than half of the top 25 teams (13 of 25) are from the SEC or Pac-12
  • All 7 teams in the SEC West (from #2 Alabama to #32 Arkansas) would be in the top half of the Big Ten, Big 12, or ACC

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 sixth 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.
