NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 3

Auburn sits atop my power rankings this week.

North Carolina State plummeted to #38 from #1 because of their bye week, combined with the performance of their past opponents.

#1 in the real world Alabama is down at #20 in these rankings, also due largely to having one less win than the 3-0 teams at the top.

I don't think the poll voters are going to be as impressed with the Michigan win as my score-agnostic algorithm is, so I doubt they'll rise up anywhere near #3 this week.

And somehow Mizzou jumped up to #28 from #34 by not playing a game. Confirming what many know about SEC football.


Or maybe that was Global Thermonuclear War, I can never keep the two straight in my mind.
