2012 Week 2 Rankings

Here are my rankings for the 2nd week. As you will notice and as I mentioned in earlier posts, my polls are very fluid week to week since the rankings are actually based on results and where the game is played. I added a column for the previous week's rankings so that you can see the teams rankings and how much they either moved up or down.

Finally....

I don't know if anyone is even looking at this blog, but I haven't been able to post due to some IE/Safari issues.  When I went to NY for the USC vs Syracuse game I uploaded a post on my iPad, then when I tried to post on my laptop when I got home I got errors.  I now switched to Google Chrome and so far there's no issues.  Anyway, I have a lot of weeks to catch up on so it'll be a few days before I release my weeks 2 - 6 rankings.

2012 Week 1 Rankings

A great 5 days of football to start the season.  The last game was kind of boring, but the ending was great.  The AP Poll won't come out until tomorrow, but I'm going to post my rankings based on my new football ranking system.  There is a huge difference between the 2 polls, but with the "Equal" Poll and everyone starting with 0 points, it's going to be very fluid week by week.  If it follows the trend from last year, after the 4th or 5th week the better teams start rising to the top.  We'll see if this year will be the same.  I think the AP Poll will agree with my top 2 this week in the "Preseason" Poll.  Based on Alabama's convincing win over Michigan, they'll probably move to the #1 spot.  Even though USC dominated in their win and so did LSU, Bama's opponent was much better than Hawaii and North Texas, respectively.  Another comment on the "Equal" Poll, you will notice even though Florida St, Arkansas and Oklahoma St had huge wins are at the bottom of my poll.  The reason being is that all 3 played FCS teams and so had points deducted.  After Oklahoma State's embarrassing win over Savanna State, I'm hoping teams will realize this is wrong.  I can't believe I'm even saying this, but I have to agree with Lou Holtz.  On College FB Live before the game tonight they talked about whether or not FBS should play FCS teams.  Lou said he thinks they should because it helps the FCS schools financially, but he thinks those wins should not count for the postseason.  I agree 1000%!!
