NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 19

Week 19 this year is really just the New Year's Day bowls and the FCS title game, but I'm rolling with it.

As I expected, Wisconsin didn't hold their #1 ranking for long. Georgia beat #6 Oklahoma to take back #1, which they had early in the season. Alabama also had a quality win against #3 Clemson, but starting from #7 they could only reach #5. If they beat Georgia, I may have a different #1 than the playoff for once.

For some strength of schedule reason, Florida went from #94 to #91, and Western Kentucky went from #92 to #91, meaning we have a tie. Interestingly, Florida is 4-7 and Western Kentucky is 6-7. That probably won't hold, though, because Florida played Georgia earlier this year.

Of course, I've got to mention UCF. They're undefeated, and all the way up to #2 in my rankings after beating a pretty good Auburn team, and more importantly, after everyone's played their bowl game. To me, this means they should be in a position to have a shot at the title game. Everyone seems to be saying that sure, maybe they should have been let into the playoffs, but who could you have reasonably left out? I think Alabama is the obvious answer to that, but not everyone does.
