NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 16

You get the power rankings a bit early this week, because the NFL added an extra day, so I'll update those projections tonight. As this isn't really a proper "week" of the college football season, but just a portion of the bowl season thus far, this is the one that got bumped.

Unsurprisingly, the top 10 stayed intact. Utah was the highest mover, from #23 to #11 with their win over BYU in the Las Vegas bowl. All the way near the bottom of the pack, Texas-San Antonio gained 4 places, moving from #117 to #113, due in part to their week 1 opponent, Arizona, winning their bowl and moving up to #57 from #66.

What if LSU had won their canceled week 1 game against McNeese State?
LSU would be #20, and Florida State would be tied at #14 instead of alone at #15. Texas A&M would jump 2 spots over Pittsburgh and Louisiana Tech to #36, and Marshall would be ahead of Arkansas at #43, but nothing of consequence would change.
