Showing Which Teams Have Accomplished the Most — to Date

Oklahoma Beats Texas, Claims #1 Spot

  • Through the first 6 weeks of the season, Oklahoma has accomplished the most of any team in the nation
  • Aside from the Sooners, Alabama has accomplished the most through the first 6 weeks, followed by LSU, Oklahoma St., Boise St., Michigan, Clemson, Illinois, Kansas St., and Georgia Tech
  • Texas has played the nation's toughest schedule so far
  • The Big 12, with a 90% winning percentage in non-conference play, versus a respectable schedule, has been the top conference so far — and half of its teams are currently in the top-20

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.
