The Holmes Computer Rankings

This past weekend of college football brought us some exciting match ups like Florida vs Florida International and Alabama vs Chattanooga. It is a disgrace that elite powers are playing such inferior competition in November. You know what makes me smile....my computer agrees with me. Florida and Alabama fall out of the Top 2 spots. Lets see what my computer thinks.

1. Texas - 56.187
2. TCU - 53.182
3. Florida - 52.943
4. Alabama - 52.833
5. Boise State - 50.629
6. Ohio State - 48.511
7. Oregon - 48.282
8. Georgia Tech - 45.020
9. Cincinnati - 44.652
10. Penn State - 44.409
11. BYU - 43.283
12. Iowa - 42.743
13. Utah - 41.699
14. Virginia Tech - 41.430
15. Pittsburgh - 40.847
16. Nebraska - 40.435
17. Oklahoma St. - 39.782
18. Nevada - 39.451
19. Oregon State - 39.401
20. LSU - 39.321
21. USC - 39.224
22. Houston - 38.962
23. Wisconsin - 37.966
24. Stanford - 37.834
25. Clemson - 37.799

It's important to keep in mind that my system is an aggregate of points so now that the Big Ten is basically done with their season, those teams will slowly drop into place over the next two weeks. The SEC winner will still finish ahead of TCU if they are undefeated most likely. Also, the Mountain West Conference is cleaning up with 3 of the top 13 teams. I guess it may be time to re-visit their automatic bid application.

3 top 13 teams and they are supposed to be a "weak" conference. Who do they have to pay off to get some validity?

Anonymous, feel free to make up a name when posting...JK! The problem isnt with the top 3 of the MWC, its the perception of the bottom 6. The good thing is that there is a review of Non-AQ conferences every 4 years and if TCU goes undefeated and beats a big boy in a BCS game, the big wigs will have no choice but to grant them an automatic bid.
