NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 6

2 more teams joined the ranks this week, Houston and Temple. One FCS team also started its season, Mercer. While poking around to figure that out, I also saw The Citadel has finished its season with this weekend's game against Army, at 0-4.

We've got another new #1 this week, BYU. With no cross-conference play, I think the top teams are going to be undefeated conference champs with a top-heavy distribution. We really can't rate BYU against Clemson or SMU like usual. But, I'm not changing horses midstream. BYU is #1 this week!

I just sort of assumed Missouri would lose to LSU, as most people did, and didn't make much of an effort to seek out the game. Then I got a score alert that they won. I figured that had to be wrong but sure enough, they made a goal line stand toward the end of the game to seal a narrow victory despite being 20 point underdogs at the start. That lifts them up to #52, and drops LSU down to #70.

Middle Tennessee only spent 1 week at the bottom, winning a game to climb to #72. Vanderbilt is now the worst team at 0-3, despite UL Monroe just above them being 0-5. Vanderbilt, of course, is hurt by being beat by the aforementioned low-ranked LSU team. And to come full circle, their next opponent is Missouri, next Saturday.
