NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 9

Despite their bye week, Alabama held on to the #1 spot. That was certainly helped by having a very late bye, so there are very few teams that have even played 9 games, and none that are 9-0. 3 more teams suffered their first loss this week, leaving us just 5 undefeated. Nebraska lost to also-undefeated Washington in overtime. West Virginia lost to Oklahoma State, who has already lost 2 games. Boise State lost to Wyoming, who almost cracks my top 25, but will almost certainly be enough to keep them out of the playoff.

After a rough loss to Middle Tennessee last week, local Mizzou honks figured maybe they could win the last 3 of their string of 4 winnable games. They did not. They fall to 2-6 and #112.

At the bottom, Florida Atlantic lost again to hold on tight to #128. They may have a stranglehold on that position, because I have them about 1000 points behind #127, but just 23,000 separates the from #1 Alabama.
