Showing Which Teams Have the Best Win-Loss Records Considering Their Schedules — to Date

Alabama Finishes #1

  • Alabama, the only team this season that posted a winning record versus the final top-10 and a perfect record otherwise, finishes in the top spot
  • Ohio State, the nation's only undefeated team, finishes #2
  • #3 Notre Dame went 12-1 and lost only to #1 Alabama
  • Fiesta Bowl champion (12-1) Oregon finishes #4
  • Florida, which went 11-2 versus the nation's 2nd-toughest schedule (beating #7 South Carolina, #9 Texas A&M, #12 LSU, and #14 Florida State), rounds out the top-5
  • Rose Bowl champion (12-2) Stanford, whose only losses were to Notre Dame and Washington, finishes #6
  • Collectively, the final top-10 went 23-3 versus the teams that finished #11-25
  • San Jose State, which went 11-2 (with one of its loses at Stanford), finishes an impressive #16 — sandwiched between Nebraska and Texas
  • The SEC, with 5 teams in the top-10 and an .831 winning percentage in non-conference play, finishes as by far the top conference
  • The WAC goes out in style, finishing as the #7 conference in its final season — trailing only the 6 conferences with automatic BCS bids

The Anderson & Hester Rankings are distinct in four ways: 

1. Unlike the polls, these rankings do not reward teams for running up scores.  Teams are rewarded for beating quality opponents, which is the object of the game.  Posting large margins of victory, which is not the object of the game, is not considered. 

2. Unlike the polls, these rankings do not prejudge teams.  These rankings first appear after the season's fifth week, and each team's ranking reflects its actual accomplishments — on the field, to date — not its perceived potential. 

3. These rankings compute the most accurate strength of schedule ratings.  Each team's opponents and opponents' opponents are judged not only by their won-lost records but also, uniquely, by their conferences' strength (see #4). 

4. These rankings provide the most accurate conference ratings.  Each conference is rated according to its non-conference won-lost record and the difficulty of its non-conference schedule.
