NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 3

3 games into the season, I'm willing to say Ohio State has earned the #1 spot they've held in the real polls so far this year. There are still 28 teams at 3-0, so it's possible even with a win next week they could drop back again, but as the season wears on that's less and less likely, as the overall strength of schedule becomes closer to finalized. Michigan State at #3 also approximately agrees with the polls, but Iowa and Texas A&M are interlopers here.

Missouri is now up to #11, with an ugly win against Connecticut. But in my system, a win is a win, and Connecticut was previously ranked ahead of Missouri by one slot.

I'll probably track this until they lose a game, but LSU would actually be #1 in my rankings if they had played and won against McNeese State in week 1, a game that was canceled for weather. The effects are starting to ripple out to the SEC, too. Mississippi State would jump from #58 to #53 and Auburn would rise from #41 to #36. All other teams stay in place, unless they were leapfrogged by one of those three.
