NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 15

There were no changes in the traditionally tracked top 25 with only the Army-Navy game being played in the FBS this week, but it did shift a few teams around due to their changed strengths of schdedule, hurting Army opponents and helping Navy opponents.  The changes at a glance:

Air Force jumps over Pittsburgh to 56.
Western Kentucky jumps over Miami to 60.
Tennessee jumps over Northwestern to 75.
Navy jumps from 89 to 81, over Connecticut, Kent State, Bowling Green, Hawaii, East Carolina, UTEP, and San Jose State.
Louisiana Monroe jumps 2 slots to 94, over Washington State and Fresno.
Army drops below Ole Miss, to 108.

I'm going to run the rankings again each week that has bowl games, but it will very much be a rich-get-richer situation, as the top teams will be playing each other and confirming their places at the top.  To me the most interesting scenarios are the ones in which LSU loses, as I suspect someone other than Alabama may take my #1 slot.
