NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 19

The FBS bowls this week were all back on Monday, but the FCS title game was played yesterday, and factors into the rankings too, so I stuck with my traditional rankings update. Western Michigan didn't maintain their undefeated season, but remained #3. That make some sense, because #4 and #5 also suffered losses last week in the semifinals.

For the most part, the only rankings changes involved the winners and losers from those 4 bowl games gaining or losing ground, but due to my use of strength of schedule, there's always potential for a game to fan out to affect lots of teams. This week, all the way down at #110, Illinois overtook Ball State, two teams with 7 wins total between them. Both teams actually played Western Michigan, so that loss didn't really affect things. However, Illinois played Wisconsin and Iowa. Wisconsin won and moved up 7 places to #7, while Iowa loss and remained at #50. That gave Illinois just enough of a boost to place them ahead of Ball State.

Of course, the only game that really matters is the only one left, Alabama vs Clemson, tomorrow night.
