College Football Rankings

November 6th, 2006 2 comments

So my team Michigan, ranked #2, won its football game this past Saturday. But the old maize ‘n’ blue won just barely to Ball State, a team that was an underdog by over 30 points! And U of M’s nemesis Ohio State, ranked #1, also won in a close game. I know both teams played under their ability, so my question is: do they deserve to keep their rankings?

OSU received all votes for #1 both in the AP and USA Today polls, even thought they played relatively poorly, and there are other undefeated teams in the country ranked lower, such as the Louisville Cardinals and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (yes, Rutgers!). Louisville (#3) and Rutgers (#15) are also undefeated, but have much more momentum at this point of the season.

Shouldn’t Louisville and Rutgers be ranked higher? Do Michigan and Ohio State deserve to be #1 and #2? Let’s hope U of M and OSU are just saving their best for their annual season-ending meeting, this year bigger than ever! Go blue!
