  • Florida, which has gone 5-1 versus the current top-30 — with only 2 of those 6 games at home — and has posted wins over #12 Texas A&M, #10 South Carolina, and #9 LSU, is #3 — having accomplished more than any other 1-loss team to date
  • #4 Kansas State, whose only loss was at #25 Baylor, has beaten 6 teams in the current top-35 — half of them, including #8 Oklahoma, on the road — and edges Alabama by .001
  • #5 Alabama, whose only loss was at home to #12 Texas A&M, has beaten 4 teams in the current top-40, including #9 LSU and #11 Georgia
  • Rose Bowl-bound (11-2) Stanford has 5 wins versus the current top-25, compared to 1 for (11-1) Oregon, and edges the Ducks for the #6 spot

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.
