College Football End of Season Power Rankings

With the regular season over, and the first game of the bowl season playing as I type these words, it's time to rank the top 15 college football teams according to the humble blogger's very own computer system (WAC teams and other small conferences not included).

1. Ohio State 126.48

A Rose Bowl win only went so far to improve Ohio State's national image. If they don't beat Arkansas this year, they'll be right back where they were at the end of 2008. Despite a poor showing at Camp Randall, this team has the year's best overall performance.

2. TCU 125.86

The humble blogger is still not sure whether MWC teams deserve to be included or it is too easy to padd stats in that conference. For what it's worth, TCU has the year's second highest score.

3. Oregon 118.36

The Ducks' scores were lower in the latter half of the year, but they were good enough for the third spot.

4. Stanford 117.35

Michigan is nuts if they don't have Harbaugh walking their sideline next season.

5. Alabama 113.89

One of the strongest three-loss teams I've seen.

6. Virginia Tech 111.77

A couple early losses bring them down a bit, but their game against Stanford should be a good one.

7. Oklahoma 107.07

This team has had great wins, perplexing losses and cloos wins over poor competition. All in all, a fine score, and they've improved as the year has gone on.

8. Auburn 105.66

Remember that this is for performance over the entire season. This team had a lot of unimpressive close calls early on. In the second half of the year they've been one of the best.

9. Oklahoma State 103.51

I've never seen a better team from Stillwater.

10. Wisconsin 99.02

A slow start to the year brings their score down. Their finish was exceptinal.

11. West Virginia 95.01

The only good score from the Big East.

12. Missouri 94.25

The Tigers turned in a solid performance this year, with a signature win over the Sooners.

13. Arkansas 93.38

This team is good, but doesn't look good enough to beat the Buckeyes... unless the SEC curse is still in effect.

14. Nebraska 92.68

This team felt stronger than their score at times. The slip up against Texas hurts their score.

15. LSU 89.13

The SEC West has four teams above 89.00. Not too shabby.
