NCAAF 2018 Rankings after Week 13

NCAA Football Top 25 Rankings
Updated: Week 13, 26 NOV 2018
(Delta Calc'd from Week 12, 19 NOV 2018)
Some of these rankings my surprise you, but keep in mind that there is no bias towards any team or preconceived notions, and the only thing considered is what each team has accomplished so far.





(For those viewing from a phone, tap the rankings and rotate to enlarge)


Notes:
  • Ohio State jumps 6 spots to #5 after devastating #6 michigan. 
  • Oklahoma moves up to #7 after defeating #25 West Virginia. (OU will jump #6 michigan with a win over #19 Texas in the Big 12 championship).
  • Notice that #4 Georgia has a significant rating margin over Ohio State and OU. It will be interesting to see if Georgia loses, OSU wins, and/or OU wins, whether either of those teams will have a high enough rating to pass Georgia.
  • ND remains at #2 after squeaking by #71 USC. ND has a high enough rating that it is fairly safe to say they will retain a top 4 spot in my rankings despite not playing in a championship game. This is largely due to ND running the table with a very high strength of schedule (#17)
  • Clemson jumps Georgia to get to the #3 spot after defeating #20 South Carolina.
  • SEC dominance. The SEC continues to hold 5 of the top 10 spots... And 9 of the top 25. It looks like the SEC is actually earning their hype this year... So far, anyway... Also, take a look at my conference ratings below. The SEC has pulled away from the other conferences by a larger margin than I've seen since tracking the conferences.
  • Conference championship week! Here are the Power Five conference championship matchups:
    • #23 Northwestern vs #5 The Ohio State University
    • #4 Georgia vs #1 Alabama
    • #21 Utah vs #18 Washington
    • #19 Texas vs #7 Oklahoma
    • #28 Pittsburgh vs #3 Clemson
  • Top 10 // Top 25  Teams for each conference:
    • ACC: 1 // 2 
    • Big Ten: 2 // 4
    • Big 12: 1 // 3
    • Pac 12: 0 // 3
    • SEC: 5 // 9

Notes:
  • Alabama's lead at the #1 shrinks substantially after winning its bye week (I mean... the game against The Citadel) and #2 Notre Dame defeating #23 Syracuse.
  • ND's win over Syracuse is its 4th best win this season, according to my rankings.
  • #3 Georgia and #4 Clemson make up the rest of the Top 4.
  • Ohio State falls 2 spots to #11 after an unimpressive win against #66 Maryland.
  • UCF climbs 4 spots to #8 after defeating #30 Cincinnati.
  • Oklahoma also dropped after an unimpressive win. They are now ranked #10.
  • SEC dominance. The SEC continues to hold 5 of the top 10 spots... And 10 of the top 25. It looks like the SEC is actually earning their hype this year... So far, anyway... Also, take a look at my conference ratings below. The SEC has pulled away from the other conferences by a larger margin than I've seen since tracking the conferences.
  • It's the best week of the year in college football: Rivalry Week! Here are the rivalry matchups of every team in my Top 10 (note, not one Top 10 matchup this year):
    • #24 Auburn v #1 Alabama
    • #2 Notre Dame v #65 USC
    • #47 Georgia Tech v #3 Georgia
    • #17 South Carolina v #4 Clemson
    • #5 michigan v #11 The Ohio State University

Notes:
  • Alabama's lead at the #1 spot increases after defeating #15 Miss St
  • ND, Georgia, Clemson, and michigan round out the Top 5.
  • Ohio State jumps 6 spots to #9 after defeating #18 Michigan St.
  • UCF is at #12 despite being undefeated. This year, their opponents have not been as impressive as last year, which earns them less gains in the ratings after each win. They are ranked #11 in both the AP and Coaches polls.
  • My ratings are (unfortunately) favoring SEC teams more than the human polls for the first time... ever. Usually, according to my rankings, the SEC teams are always overrated. The opposite is true this year. Compared to the human polls, I have Kentucky and Miss St 10 spots higher, and Florida 7 spots higher. Speaking of the SEC...
  • SEC dominance. The SEC holds 5 of the top 10 spots... And 9 of the top 25. It looks like the SEC is actually earning their hype this year... So far, anyway... Also, take a look at my conference ratings below. The SEC has pulled away from the other conferences by a larger margin than I've seen since tracking the conferences.

    • Big Ten: 2 // 5
    • Big 12: 1 // 3
    • Pac 12: 0 // 2

(Delta Calc'd from Week 9, 29 OCT 2018)

Notes:
  • Alabama's big win over LSU vaulted themselves to #1 in my ratings. LSU drops 4 spots to #6 after the loss.
  • Georgia takes the #2 spot after defeating #7 Kentucky
  • Kentucky is #7? What in the world in college football is going on? Kentucky is ranked #12 in the AP and coaches poll. My ratings are giving them more credit than the human polls (possibly because of stigma?). The Wildcats have the 7th best Strength of Record and 15th toughest schedule, according to my ratings.
  • A couple of teams are now climbing in my rating after the past couple of weeks. #10 West Virginia and #12 UCF both had solid gains after winning in Week 10. The AP/Coaches have them at 7th/8th (WVU), and 11th/11th (UCF).
  • SEC dominance. The SEC holds 5 of the top 10 spots... And 10 of the top 25. It looks like the SEC is actually earning their hype this year... So far, anyway... Also, take a look at my conference ratings below. The SEC has pulled away from the other conferences by a larger margin than I've seen since tracking the conferences.

    • Big 12: 2 // 3
    • Pac 12: 0 // 2
