5 Boise St. 1.7545
6 Cincinnati 1.7171
7 Ohio St. 1.6928
8 Oregon 1.6760
9 Penn St. 1.6693
10 Virginia Tech 1.5800
11 Iowa 1.5362
12 Oklahoma 1.4827
13 Pittsburgh 1.4336

16 Nebraska 1.3336
17 Houston 1.3197
18 Oklahoma St. 1.3105
19 Wisconsin 1.3024
20 Oregon St. 1.2888
21 BYU 1.2784
22 Arkansas 1.2767
23 Clemson 1.2712
24 LSU 1.2700
25 Texas Tech 1.2312

For the most part, I like it. Sure Oklahoma has 5 losses, but they looked like a pretty decent team this past Saturday. We know they would beat number 18 here in Oklahoma State.

I also urge people viewing this not to get too caught up in the ranking numbers (1 through 25), but instead focus on the ranking score. Florida is very close to Alabama, but nearly twice as “good” as Texas Tech by these rankings. What you should take away from this is that Florida should play a very close game to, say ‘Bama or Texas, but likely beat Oklahoma very handily (52% better score than Oklahoma). Likewise Arkansas and LSU are nearly equals, and we saw that this past weekend.
