NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 16

Obviously there was no movement at the top, with the only FBS game pitting my #56 against #109 in the Army-Navy game. This is one of the least active weeks in NCAA football, with only 10 total games all the way down to Division III. So, just for fun, here are all of the changes this week, from top to bottom.

The top 41 remained in position, with scoring differences too small to place any team ahead or behind its adjacent teams.
Navy moved up from #56 to #42, because of their win.
Utah State moved from #49 to #51, behind Toledo, because Toledo played Navy.
South Alabama jumped ahead of Utah, to #74, again because South Alabama played Navy.
Troy swapped with Tennessee, at #78.
Indiana swapped with Rutgers, at #81.

The last 2 swaps didn't have immediately clear reasons. There were some common opponents, and opponents of opponents, etc., as that's how the algorithm works.

Army, interestingly, stayed right at #109.

As the bowls happen, we'll see teams slightly more toward the top start to shuffle around, possibly culminating in a 1-2 swap after the BCS Championship.
