NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 16

Alabama has taken over the #1 spot in a week featuring some conference title games, some makeup games, and not much else. I've complained in the past about the playoff teams being chosen before the Army-Navy game, so at least there's the bright side that the committee waited until all games were played this year. Of course, I didn't exactly want it to happen this way.

My playoff 4 would be #1 Alabama vs #4 BYU, playing the winner of #2 Coastal Carolina and #3 Clemson. Now, this would probably result in an Alabama vs Clemson final once the games were played, so there's a possibility I could half-get my wish, because the committee has already chosen the teams, and Alabama and Clemson got the top 2 seeds. The committee chose to skip over BYU and Coastal Carolina, and put in my #5 Notre Dame in the 4th seed. Leapfrogging them is #29 Ohio State at the third seed.

#52 Missouri lost just 3 spots due to their loss to #83 Mississippi State, which I predicted would seriously lower their ranking.

#127 Vanderbilt didn't play, but neither did anyone else below about #111, so they keep their perfectly imperfect season and ranking. #125 UL-Monroe did drop one spot, but even at 0-10 couldn't outdo Vanderbilt. Or rather, they couldn't help but to outdo Vanderbilt.
