NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 13

My top 3 all stayed the same this week, but Oregon fell from #4 to #5, and Ohio State rose to #4. Even though it wasn't an impressive win, Marshall won again to go 11-0, and is all the way up to #6 in my rankings. If the polls give them a similar jump, I think we'll be in for a controversial playoff selection, whether they are in or out.

Missouri beat Tennessee in a game that was a little tense, then felt well in-hand, then got tense again when Mizzou missed a PAT which caused their lead to be only 16 points, Tennessee scored a TD and 2 point conversion, and seemed to recover the first onside kick. An offsides by Mizzou forced a re-kick - which seems odd to me, Tennessee should have had the option to get the result of the play - and Missouri recovered and ultimately finished out the victory. With more win they'll win the SEC East, and promptly lose to Alabama.

Apparently I was too eager to get my FBS list for 2014. I saw a mention of "all 128" FBS teams this week, and since I like to note the bottom of my rankings, I knew I had only 127 in my list. After a bit of digging, I saw that I was missing Old Dominion. This hasn't made the rankings wrong to any extreme, since their games still counted. It just meant Old Dominion was filtered out when I listed the top to bottom rankings. So everyone worse than them should have been one lower, but the relative rankings were correct, and anyone above them was exactly correct. I believe their highest rank would have been #40 in week 4, so nothing of true consequence was affected.

So, today, SMU falls to a new low: #128! Hang in there, Mustangs; even the Rams won a Superbowl in 2000 after a terrible late 90s.
