    arkansasbob's final rankings

    for the 2010 regular season. yes, i know there is one more game to play, so these rankings are based on the assumption that navy will beat army. if that does not happen, then i will have to revise my rankings next week. i did not count the conference championship games, because they give the winners an unfair advantage over teams in conferences that don't have one, and likewise give the losers an unfair disadvantage.

    disclaimer: this ranking system is not designed to determine which team is best. the purpose is to determine which team has had the best season, and is therefore deserving of bcs bowl games, other bowls, and potential playoff spots.

    all 120 teams:

    I'm surprised at the conference rankings. Never would have imagined the Big 10 would be at the top, and would have thought the WAC would have been ahead of the BE, and possibly also the ACC.

    sjsu and nmsu kinda drag the wac down when you average the rankings.

    when you drop the top and bottom teams of each conference, the big east is ranked below both wac and mwc.

    also, if you look closely at the conference rankings, the big 10, big 12 and sec are all in a very tight grouping. then you've got pac10 and acc. big east, wac, and mwc make up group number 3. then the bottom three are more spread out (poor sun belt).

    Southern Miss = #52
    LA Tech = #71


    Considering our game against USM could have gone either way --and ended 13-12-- this makes no sense.

    Nice rankings. However, I would put Arkansas ahead of lsu. And I would do this because arkansas beat lsu and "just because".

    Nevada should be at least 7th - they beat Boise. Hawaii should be at least 6th - they beat Nevada. :icon_wink:

    see disclaimer above. this is a completely objective computer ranking. it is not meant to determine the best team; only the team with the best season. in fact, if two highly-ranked teams play each other and both end with the same record, it is highly likely that the team that lost the head-to head matchup will wind up ranked ahead of the other team.

    for example, teams A and B both have a very good season, losing only one game each. A loses to B, but B loses to a much lower-ranked team. A's loss to B doesn't deduct nearly as many points as B's loss to the really bad team. thus the computer sees A's season as better than B's.
