NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 13

Alabama and Clemson stayed at the top after Rivalry weekend, which leads us to Conference Championship weekend. With a defeat of a very highly ranked Michigan team, Ohio State overtook undefeated Western Michigan for the #3 spot. I feel like this year really helps justify my ranking system, because it boosts an undefeated non-power-conference team up high, but not automatically #1 just for being 12-0, because the ranking of a team's opponents comes into play. I'd really like to see them beat Ohio next week to see how the committee justifies keeping an undefeated team out of the playoff. I realize they probably aren't the top team, but if winning every game isn't enough to get a shot at the title, then plenty of teams have no chance at the beginning of the season, which is simply dumb. I realize I may have to eat some crow on that statement, since they could fall out of my top 5, since Alabama, Clemson, and Washington will all face tougher teams than Western Michigan, and could push them to #5 or below.

Missouri beat Arkansas to raise themselves up to #90, and finish the season 4-8, certainly left out of the bowl season. Arkansas should still make a lowest-tier bowl at 7-5.

Fresno State stayed #128, and will likely stay there through the playoff as no teams down that low have any more games. It might be possible for the wins and losses of FCS opponents to shift teams a bit, but most likely we've crowned our anti-champion already.
