Yellow Number 4 Brett Favre T-Shirt

Part of the BCS Throughout Its Entire 16-Year Run...

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

Only Three Undefeated Teams Remain

  • (10-0) LSU, with 3 wins versus the current top-25, continues to have done the most of any team to date
  • The biggest gaps in the top-25 are between #2 Ohio State and #3 Clemson (.021) and between #4 Penn State and #5 Georgia (.021)
  • #23 Navy and #24 Air Force hold back-to-back spots in the top-25
  • There are 13 1-loss teams but just 9 2-loss teams
  • The Pac-12, which is only .005 behind the SEC for the third spot in the conference rankings, is the only conference whose teams are all in the top two-thirds of the rankings (no teams in the bottom 43 spots)

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 sixth 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.
