Showing Which Teams Have Accomplished the Most to Date

Oklahoma Finishes the Regular Season #1

  • Oklahoma, Utah, Texas, Florida, and Texas Tech are the most accomplished teams to date
  • #1 Oklahoma has beaten 6 current top-25 teams and lost only to #3 Texas
  • If you were to remove the name on the jersey, it would be very hard to deny the accomplishments of #2 Utah on the field: a 12-0 season in an above-average conference, with wins over #11 TCU, #18 BYU, and the only team that beat USC, #30 Oregon St.
  • #3 Texas is 11-1 versus the nation's 6th-toughest schedule, having played #1 Oklahoma, #19 Missouri, #17 Oklahoma St., and #5 Texas Tech all in a row
  • Like Texas, #4 Florida has 1 win versus the current top-10 and 3 wins versus the current top-25, but the Longhorns' loss was at #5 Texas Tech, while the Gators' loss was at home to #29 Mississippi
  • (11-1) Texas Tech rounds out the top-5, with (12-1) Alabama at #6
  • The BCS is a major reason why college football has by far the most meaningful regular season in all of sports — now on to the bowls!

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.  Margin 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, 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.
