Rankings as of 2:14 EST after all the games.

As we know, the college football ranking system is a joke. The BCS is the biggest scam in the sporting world so I've tried to devise a system based solely on performance, not subjective voting.

The following are based on margin of victory and opponents winning pct.
It is only against D1 opponents.

Rankings Simple Margin of Victory x only Division 1 Opponents winning pct.

1- USC 14.31 (4-1)
2- Texas 13.05 (6-0)
3- Florida 10.50 (5-1)
4- Missouri 9.86 (4-1)
5- Oklahoma 9.61 (4-1)
6- Penn St. 9.40 (6-0)
7- BYU 7.61 (5-0)
8- Oklahoma State 7.29 (5-0)
9- Tulsa 7.10 (5-0)
10- Georgia 7.09 (4-1)
11- Texas Tech 6.85 (4-0)
12- Boise St. 6.85 (4-0)
13- Nebraska 6.74 (3-3)
14- Kansas 6.25 (4-1)
15- Alabama 5.88 (6-0)
16- Georgia Tech 5.34 (3-1)
17- Iowa 5.23 (3-3)
18- Michigan State 5.10 (6-1)
19- Utah 5.06 (6-0)
20- UNC 5.03 (4-1)
21- Ball St. 4.87 (6-0)
22- Wisconson 3.99 (3-3)
23- TCU 3.96 (5-1)
24- California 3.76 (4-1)
25- Minnesota 3.62 (5-1)

An interesting not for cougar fans. BYU has the best defense in the country. #1 scoring defense against only D1 teams. My spreadsheet throws out all games against non D1 opponents so this doesn't count the N. Iowa game.
They are only allowing 8 points a game!
Go COUGS!!!
