Showing Which Teams Have Accomplished the Most — to Date

Auburn and TCU Are #1-2

  • Auburn remains #1, while TCU vaults from #6 to #2 after beating Utah on the road
  • LSU — 8-1 versus the nation's 4th-toughest schedule, having lost only at #1 Auburn — is #3
  • Undefeated (#4) Oregon and (#5) Boise St. round out the top-5 — these two are well above the rest of the field but trail the top-3 because, between them, they've beaten just 1 current top-25 team (and none on the road)
  • Two-loss Alabama remains in the top-10, as only Washington has played a tougher schedule
  • Seven Big-12 teams (more than half the conference) are in the top-25
  • The BCS is a major reason why college football has the best regular season in all of sports, and this coming week will feature several more top-25 matchups: #18 Mississippi St. at #10 Alabama; #21 Kansas St. at #12 Missouri; #22 South Carolina at #20 Florida; and #24 Texas A&M at #25 Baylor

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.
