Week 13 Movers

The numbers never lie, so they say. Obviously "they" did not watch as Florida scored 24 fourth-quarter points en route to a 37-26 victory against Florida State. In the wake of the Gators' victory we're left with the "lies, damned lies, and statistics" adage. So what can we glean from stats? The numbers may not lie -- but they may give a skewed perspective ...

Rank School Points Record Comment
1

Florida St.

Shop		 5636.97 10-2 Maybe there's something more to be said for "strength of schedule," Florida is No. 1; Florida State is No. 72 ...
2

Alabama

Shop		 5593.88 11-1 Eleven SEC schools are in the top 30 in strength of schedule. Bama is 11th in that group, 29th overall.
3

Oregon

Shop		 5172.81 11-1 No shame in being the Pac-12 North runner-up to Stanford. Ducks are 27th in strength of schedule; Stanford is fourth.
4

Notre Dame

Shop		 4897.18 12-0 The Irish's 12-0 record was hard-earned; Notre Dame opponents were 71-49 (.592) -- 14th in strength of schedule.
5

Georgia

Shop		 4122.42 11-1 The Dawgs enter the SEC title game 60th in strength of schedule -- but beat Florida to earn the SEC East tie-breaker.
6

Texas A&M

Shop		 3778.05 10-2 The Johnny Footballs are 10th in strength of schedule, third in total offense with 6,628 total yards (552.33 per game).
7

Nebraska

Shop		 3646.32 10-2 The Huskers are among nine FBS teams whose opponents have at least 70 wins (70-45); strength of schedule is 11th.
8

Clemson

Shop		 3634.26 10-2 The Tigers' opposition is .500 (55-55), which contributes to Clemson's strength of schedule being a so-so 65th nationally.
9

Oklahoma

Shop		 3591.30 9-2 OU's 9-2 record belies a No. 15 strength of schedule standing; the ninth-ranked offense covers for the No. 44 defense.
10

Ohio St.

Shop		 3240.68 12-0 Urban Meyer's undefeated Buckeyes were 65th in strength of schedule; opponents were 62-62. But 12-0 is 12-0, right?
11

Oklahoma St.

Shop		 3110.48 7-4 OSU scored 38, 36, 30 and 48 in its losses. Its strength of schedule is 19th -- but the Pokes' defense ranks 72nd.
12

LSU

Shop		 3061.76 10-2 LSU has the opposite problem of OK State: The Tigers' strength of schedule is 22nd; its offense ranks 78th of 120.
13

Kansas St.

Shop		 2838.69 10-1 K-State's strength of schedule is 38th and the Cats went 4-1 vs. teams now ranked higher in SoS. But that one loss ...
14

Florida

Shop		 2829.51 11-1 The Gators may be the best team in the SEC right now. But the only No. 1 they'll see is atop the strength of schedule.
15

Stanford

Shop		 2787.02 10-2 Entering Saturday, Cardinal opponents have a record of 84-50 (.627). Stanford is fourth in strength of schedule.

The NCAA.com Power Rankings are based solely on team statistics. The formula includes current stats for both offense and defense, taking into account teams’ ability to produce positive results on both ends of the field. A strength-of-schedule factor is also included to reward teams that play more BCS opponents, and gives a disadvantage to teams that play a high number of non-BCS and FCS teams. The same SoS factor carries across the whole season for a team, meaning the weekly shift in ranking is accounted for completely by that week’s statistics.
