NCAA Football Power Rankings, Final

The final week consisted of just 2 games. First Arkansas State beat Ball State, then Florida State won the final BCS Championship over Auburn.

The top 31 teams remained in place, including Florida State at #1 and Auburn at #3. Ball State dropped behind Miami from #32 to #33. Arkansas State, previously ranked #72, jumped to #57 with the win.

Based on my rankings, I'd say the BCS got it right this year, as Auburn was #2 at the end of the regular season and only fell to #3 after Michigan State's bowl win. Congratulations to Florida State for winning the title, having a player win the Heisman Trophy, and putting an end to the SEC streak of 7 titles and the state of Alabama's streak of 4.

Next year, of course, we'll have a 4-team elimination tournament for the title. Florida State, Auburn, Michigan State, and Ohio State were my top 4 before the bowls, with Stanford, Missouri, Alabama, and Baylor at #5 through #8. I only list those because next year we'll go from arguing about the #3 team being left out, to the #5 team.
