2023 BCS Rankings

[jasontoddwhitt]

Ohio State is the consensus number-one team between the CFP and the BCS. While Georgia is #1 in both polls, the BCS computer average has Ohio State as the unanimous #1 team, and the committee agrees with this assessment. The BCS computers absolutely despise Georgia, whose computer average (0.7700) ranks 7th!!! behind Ohio State (1.000), Michigan (0.9200), Florida State (0.9000), Washington (0.8500), Alabama (0.8100), and Texas (0.7800).

Every year of the CFP, the BCS would've picked the same four teams, and as of now, this year is no exception.

Other Notes

- The committee was not as hard on Oregon State as the BCS was after their loss to Arizona.
- The committee has no love for the Air Force or James Madison, for that matter. James Madison makes sense because of the bowl ban (that's a whole other discussion that everyone disagrees with the NCAA on. Postseason bans for moving UP a division are stupid).
- The BCS and the committee agree on 23 of the 25 teams. Kansas State ranks #26 in the BCS, while Oklahoma State clocks in at #28. Liberty Biberty didn't make the CFP Top 25 as well as James Madison.

BCS and CFP agree on the top five and agree on the top 11 teams, with some minor disagreements on ranking between Oregon/Alabama and Ole Miss/Penn State. Georgia's victory over Missouri raised their computer average enough to jump Michigan in the rankings.

The CFP was far harder than the BCS on Oklahoma after their loss in Bedlam, while the BCS loved Utah's blowout victory over Arizona State while the CFP was like meh.

It's STILL dumb that James Madison isn't eligible for postseason play, while the CFP still doesn't like Liberty Biberty. Taking their places in the CFP Top 25 are Arizona (#28 BCS) and Kansas State (#27 BCS).

I feel like a failure. I've worked a lot of OT this week and just realized that while I had run the numbers...I never posted.

So here's the late Week 11 BCS.



Dropped Out: #17 Oklahoma State, #20 Kansas

Win over #2 in the country should be enough to move to #1 for Michigan, let's see what the computer says.

The computers love Michigan.

The human pollsters...not as much.
