What a week! The great thing about the end of the season is that it brings clarity that wasn't there at any point in the season. After a slew of upsets and losses by teams in the Top 25 and being considered, it wasn't so much how much a team would drop, but who deserves to replace them? In most weeks, Boise State, Houston and Louisville would have dropped out, but the only non-ranked two-loss team (Troy) has a horrible loss, and the other teams vying to move in have three or four losses and either don't have a big win or have two or more bad losses.
Washington finally climbed the mountain past two solid teams, Michigan and Wisconsin, as USC continued to win. Their only loss is to USC (which is now ranked) while Michigan lost to a team being considered.
Colorado is ranked behind Wisconsin because, even though their losses look better, they have not beaten a ranked team while the Badgers have knocked off two of them. Penn State is ranked behind Colorado because of a bad loss, which hurts a team more than a big win helps them. The Nittany Lions knocked off the #2 team, but they have that loss to Pittsburgh, while both of Colorado's losses are to ranked teams. Oklahoma cannot make the same argument against Colorado because the Sooners only have one impressive win to two for the Buffaloes.
Oklahoma was freed to move up when Houston lost their third game. Up to this point, the Cougars had to be ahead of the Sooners since they had the same record and Houston beat them on the field.
We have so many head-to-head results within the Top 25 that it is easy now to rank them. For teams with worse records that own head-to-head wins, they can't make the same argument because they slipped up elsewhere and have more losses:
Michigan beat Penn State and has to be ranked ahead of them.
Oklahoma beat West Virginia and has to be above them.
South Florida beat Navy and must be ranked above them.
Oklahoma State topped West Virginia and thus must be ahead of them.
Stanford beat USC and must be ahead of them.
Auburn beat LSU and thus must be above them.
Houston defeated Louisville and must be ranked ahead of them.
Louisville beat Florida State and has to be ahead.
Florida State beat Florida over the weekend and must be ranked ahead.
(Note: the rankings are based on logic rather than hype or potential. Teams with the same record are judged by their biggest wins and their losses, if any. Impressive wins over Top 25 teams are more important than other wins, and losses to Top 25 teams hurt far less than other losses.
The "Biggest Win" refers to the highest-ranked win; generally, only ranked teams and teams being considered are listed. Sometimes, as in the case of Western Michigan, they don't have a win over teams in these rankings, and it is unknown at this time which of their listed wins is the biggest.)
