Showing Which Teams Have Accomplished the Most to Date

Alabama Remains #1; Texas Edges Oklahoma

  • Alabama, Utah, Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech are the most accomplished teams so far this season
  • Alabama and Utah, each undefeated with a win versus the current top-12 and with 3 (Alabama) or 4 (Utah) wins versus the current top-40, have the most sparkling resumes to date
  • #3 Texas has amassed its 11-1 record against a slightly harder schedule than #4 Oklahoma has, making the Longhorns the most-accomplished 1-loss team
  • The Big 12 South is the top division by far, but the ACC, with 9 current top-40 teams, has been the top conference as a whole
  • The BCS is a major reason why college football has by far the most meaningful regular season in all of sports, and this weekend features 3 more matchups of top-flight teams: #1 Alabama vs. #6 Florida, #4 Oklahoma vs. #18 Missouri, and #17 Boston College vs. #26 Virginia Tech

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.
