Unlike our regular BlogPoll voting, this is more a measure of “who would beat who”. I don’t presume to know that information myself, and if the polls this year have been any indication, neither does anyone else.

This Power Rankings uses mostly unbiased methodology that compares team total offense and total defense weighted by strength of schedule per NCAA, and overall record.

I have been working on a “Predictor Model” based on my Power Rankings, and last week I gave predictions on several games. Straight up the model correctly called wins for 21 of 24 of the Top 25 ranked teams (the UConn – Cincy game was a push per the model). It badly missed the Illinois and Maryland wins, and more narrowly missed the USC and Mississippi State wins. Still, it correctly called the wins by Kansas, Georgia, Virginia Tech, Wisconsin (made some $$ on that one), Virginia, Clemson, Tennessee and Kentucky.

I’ll release some predictions later in the week.
