W.A.S. Power Rankings ~ Week 12

[foolinc]

In comparison to the AP25, my poll finally had a losing week. Guess it was a good run while it lasted. I decided to post the FOOL2 poll for the rest of the season, but will be posting both the W.A.S and FOOL2 excel sheets at the bottom for those who wish to compare the two. - I am pissed off that LSU was actually able to come back and beat Troy with a 30 point 4th quarter. In my personal opinion LSU is overrated, and as been all year. If they would have lost to Troy, they surely would have been bounced from the AP poll. Instead they won, moved up six spots into the 22nd spot in the poll. On the bright side, I was able to win my $5 bet because Troy was getting 19 points. - If anyone is wondering why Alabama is so low on the polls, all you have to do is look at their out of conference opponents. Which included 5-5 Clemson (I can't believe they were ranked, much less ranked in the top 10 at the start of the season), 2-8 Tulane, 2-9 Western Kentucky, and 4-5 Arkansas State. - Did anyone see the Big East best teams being Cincinnati and Pittsburgh? Anyone? No. Me neither. - Even after losing to BYU, Air Force remains in the polls thanks in a large part to a stellar Control ranking. It doesn't hurt to add BYU's stellar record to their SOS either. [b]FOOL2 Poll Top 25[/b] 1. (1) Texas Tech 2. (2) Texas 3. (4) Florida 4. (3) Oklahoma 5. (7) Ohio St. 6. (10) Georgia 7.
