The Holmes Computer Rankings

I have been crunching numbers and formulas to create my own college football rankings. Today I make them public (hold the applause...LOL). I wont get into the exact formulas, but these rankings show what a team has done on the FIELD to this point in the season. My rankings don't care how long your school has been around or who your QB is. A couple of points about the rankings:

1. 1AA games aren't used in W-L and stats are thrown out
2. Games are weighted with home, road, and ranked opponents
3. Point and yardage differentials separate the contenders from the pretenders
4. Strength of Schedule component uses ratings rather than pure W-L

Time to pull back the curtain....

1. Alabama - 39.644
2. Texas - 37.658
3. Florida - 34.920
4. Boise State - 34.362
5. TCU - 32.945
6. USC - 32.518
7. Iowa - 32.393
8. Oregon - 31.881
9. Penn State - 31.420
10. Cincinnati - 31.305
11. Ohio State - 30.160
12. LSU - 29.047
13. Utah - 28.570
14. Georgia Tech - 28.224
15. Pittsburgh - 27.390
16. BYU - 27.154
17. Navy - 26.417
18. South Carolina - 26.032
19. Virginia Tech - 25.936
20. Oklahoma St. - 25.644
21. West Virginia - 25.475
22. Oklahoma - 25.257
23. Central Michigan - 25.136
24. Notre Dame - 24.993
25. Stanford - 24.295

There you have it. These rankings don't necessarily predict who is better, but rather who has played the best this season to this date. Conference strength plays a major part as well (see Iowa and ACC teams rankings). If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will answer them all. I can't wait to see who my rankings pick as the best 2 teams at the end of the season.
