PROPER: Week 6 SOS Rankings


Well that was fast. Is it just me or is this season flying by? This week we have 30 teams that qualify for the top 25. I have made changes for this year. I'm not putting numbers to the teams until the end of the regular season. For now it's about making the list. As for now this is the watch list. To remind everyone this is not a ranking of the best teams, just a list of the top teams and how they got there. When it comes to the College Football Playoff this is just one metric to use to see who belongs or not. Last year Alabama, Clemson, and Notre Dame were locks. Ohio State and Oklahoma were tied with identical records so other metrics were needed to determine who got in.

When I started this it was just to see where the Group of 5 stacked up to the rest and to eliminate preseason bias. With 7 teams on this list the G5 is looking pretty strong. For now! Let the chaos begin.


Rules for Rankings:

1. Rankings don't start until week 6 every body starts dead last.

2. Win vs FCS team= 1 point

3. Win vs Group of 5 team= 2 points

4. Win vs Power 5 team = 3 points

5. Loss vs anybody = minus 1 point

6. At the end of the season any win over .500 or better team = .5 points

7. At the end of the season any win over a team in the final rankings = .5 points

8. Conference Champions= .5 points

9. Independents= Notre Dame is worth 3 points and everyone else is worth 2 points

10. Beating a ranked team doesn't matter until the final ranking
