NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 13

My top 3 all stayed the same this week, but Oregon fell from #4 to #5, and Ohio State rose to #4. Even though it wasn't an impressive win, Marshall won again to go 11-0, and is all the way up to #6 in my rankings. If the polls give them a similar jump, I think we'll be in for a controversial playoff selection, whether they are in or out.

Missouri beat Tennessee in a game that was a little tense, then felt well in-hand, then got tense again when Mizzou missed a PAT which caused their lead to be only 16 points, Tennessee scored a TD and 2 point conversion, and seemed to recover the first onside kick. An offsides by Mizzou forced a re-kick - which seems odd to me, Tennessee should have had the option to get the result of the play - and Missouri recovered and ultimately finished out the victory. With more win they'll win the SEC East, and promptly lose to Alabama.

Apparently I was too eager to get my FBS list for 2014. I saw a mention of "all 128" FBS teams this week, and since I like to note the bottom of my rankings, I knew I had only 127 in my list. After a bit of digging, I saw that I was missing Old Dominion. This hasn't made the rankings wrong to any extreme, since their games still counted. It just meant Old Dominion was filtered out when I listed the top to bottom rankings. So everyone worse than them should have been one lower, but the relative rankings were correct, and anyone above them was exactly correct. I believe their highest rank would have been #40 in week 4, so nothing of true consequence was affected.

So, today, SMU falls to a new low: #128! Hang in there, Mustangs; even the Rams won a Superbowl in 2000 after a terrible late 90s.

  1. That Tennessee/Mizzou game: FYI, the offside was on Tennessee on the first kick, even though screenshots I've seen don't seem to indicate that anyone was offside.

    Also, if you watched the game, "Third Down for WHAT!!!" UGH.

    1. Ah, that makes more sense then. I was only half-paying attention to the officials talking it over, and I just assumed due to what I thought was a Mizzou guy leaning over the 10-yard mark in a replay.

      Also due to my lack of attention, I had no idea why that song was being played so often. Thanks for clarifying both points!
