Showing Which Teams Have Accomplished the Most to Date

Arizona St. Takes Over as #1

  • Only 5 undefeated teams (and only 11 1-loss teams) remain, and none has played a team currently ranked higher than #28 Purdue
  • But that is about to change:  this week the top 4 teams, respectively, play #24 Cal, at #25 Penn St., at #10 Virginia Tech, and at #27 Texas A&M
  • With 4 wins over above-average teams (Oregon St., Colorado, Stanford, and Washington), unbeaten Arizona St. has had the most success of any team to date
  • How easy has #31 Hawaii's 119th-ranked schedule been?  Incredibly, 5 of the Warriors' 7 opponents are in the bottom-6 (#114 or worse) or are I-AA, and their toughest foe has been #90 San Jose St.
  • There is a logjam between #11-23, as 13 teams are within .030 of each other (the same gap as between #23 and #26)

Unaltered Rankings: These rankings have benefited from some minor improvements from year-to-year, but their basic formula has remained unaltered throughout the duration of their involvement with the BCS.
 
The Anderson & Hester Rankings are distinct in four ways: 

1. 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 A.P. and coaches' 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.
