The Arena's College Football Rankings [Week 11 Posted]

No first place votes for Oregon? That's tight...

 

no first place, but all save one had Oregon ahead of either LSU or Kansas and thus in the title game.

 

That'd be me. I had it KU-LSU-Oregon. I give KU the overall edge for being undefeated, and LSU the edge over Oregon based on the difference in their losses. Triple OT loss on the road > last second loss when going in to possibly force OT at home, IMO.

Who put Boise St. at 15 after losing to Hawaii?

 

Oops, my bad on that one - definitely unintentional. Should have been in the 20-24 range, not that high.

I only received two polls, so again I will post the rankings separately.

First Poll

1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Oregon
4. Oklahoma
5. Kansas
6. Georgia
7. Missouri
8. West Virginia
9. Hawaii
10. Virginia Tech
11. Florida
12. Arizona State
13. USC
14. Tennessee
15. Boston College
16. Auburn
17. Arkansas
18. Clemson
19. Texas
20. Virginia
21. Kentucky
22. Illinois
23. Penn State
24. Boise State
25. South Florida

Second Poll

1. LSU
2. Georgia
3. Ohio State
4. Oklahoma
5. Virginia Tech
6. Missouri
7. Kansas
8. USC
9. Florida
10. Arizona State

18. Wisconsin
19. Brigham Young
20. Cincinnati
21. Arkansas
22. Virginia
23. South Florida
24. Auburn
25. Boise State

 

Fun as a LSU-Georgia National Championship game would be in my family, I'm going to come out and state that poll number two is NOT mine

 

I sure as hope the first isn't yours either. Oregon at 3? Wow, maybe a month ago, but not now.

 

Um... how the heck did I do that? That was very much not intentional. (though the mistake is mine, not his)

What I should have had:

1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Oklahoma
4. Kansas
5. Georgia
6. Missouri
7. West Virginia
8. Hawaii
9. Virginia Tech
10. Florida
11. Arizona State
12. USC
13. Tennessee
14. Boston College
15. Auburn
16. Arkansas
17. Clemson
18. Texas
19. Virginia
20. Kentucky
21. Oregon
22. Illinois
23. Penn State
24. Boise State
25. South Florida

I leave Oregon in more because of what they were with Dixon than what they've done since (which doesn't merit being ranked).

I still want to know how the heck I did that.

 

I think everyone knows who posted that list

I don't know how some people could have USC so low.

They deserve 1-2 or 3.

 

I can't believe Ohio State is ranked above West Virginia

 

I can't believe Air Force still got 2 votes after Cal thrashed them, yet the Bears didn't receive any...

As of right now, I prefer the USA Today/Coaches poll over the AP. By a lot.
