NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 17

There were 8 bowl games since last Saturday, so let's re-run the rankings. Unsurprisingly, the top 6 stayed in place, including the 4 real playoff teams. Just behind them is Western Kentucky, up from #18 to #7 with a win in the Popcorn Bowl or something equally silly.

With nothing else really to talk about, I'll mention the tie down at #67. The interesting part of that is that the teams have different records. That means South Carolina's 6-6 was against an easier schedule than Mississippi's 5-7. A decent portion of that strength of schedule comes from Alabama, although South Carolina did play #2 Clemson. Obviously there are plenty of cases where teams with a worse record have a higher rank than a team with a better record - just look at #2 and #3 - but it really highlights it to see the tie, and between two teams in same conference.
