Blue Through and Through Rankings: Week 14

Head-to-head matchups among teams with equal records is the easiest way to decide which team is better.  When there are "round robin defeats"; i.e. team A beats team B, and team B beats team C, but team C beats team A (each team has a 1-1 record against the others), ranking reverts to most impressive wins vs. least impressive losses.  This situation occurred this week in both the SEC (Auburn, LSU, A&M, Florida) and the Pac-12 (USC, Colorado, Stanford).

Temple, Air Force, Navy, Houston, Louisville and Florida State have to be ranked in that order since Temple and Air Force beat Navy, Navy beat Houston, Houston beat Louisville and Louisville beat Florida State.  All have the same number of losses.  Since Air Force has three bad losses, the four-loss teams ahead of them debut in the Top 25, and the teams above behind Navy must take their place behind the Falcons.

The Pac-12 and the SEC are the biggest beneficiaries of the head-to-head matchups above. Tennessee, Utah and Washington State are all more impressive than Air Force.

Because of these rankings, the difference between #2 Ohio State and #3 Washington is now much closer.  Both have four Top 25 wins and only one loss to a Top 10 team.



(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.)

Former Boise State Star Jay Ajayi Tied for NFL Lead in Yards Per Carry Among Running Backs

http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/rushing/sort/yardsPerRushAttempt

Doug Martin Moves Up Six in NFL All-Time Rushing List

With 87 yards yesterday, former Bronco running back moved up six spots to #201 on the NFL all-time rushing list.  Among the former greats Martin passed were Dick Hoak of Pittsburgh and Leroy Hoard of the Cleveland Browns.

Other great professional runners in sight are Alan Ameche, Mike Anderson and Curtis Dickey.

Martin returned to the lineup two weeks ago after being out all season with an injury.  Doug is roughly 1,700 yards away from the all-time Top 100.

Blue Through and Through College Football Rankings--Week 13

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.

Air Force Stymies Boise State 27-20

AIR FORCE ACADEMY, CO--Air Force dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and Tyler Weaver returned a blocked punt 11 yards for a touchdown to hand #19 Boise State a crippling 27-20 loss this afternoon.  It was the Falcons' third straight win in the series.

The Bronco offensive line, which freed up Jeremy McNichols for an 56-yard run on the opening play from scrimmage, could not open up a hole for one of the nation's top rushers in three tries from the Air Force five-yard line with the game on the line in the final minutes. 

 McNichols tried three consecutive runs up the middle before Brett Rypien tried a quarterback sneak on fourth down.  In an effort to keep the play alive, Rypien fumbled and Air Force ran out the clock.

''Thank goodness they didn't run wide,'' said senior safety Brodie Hicks, who forced the fumble. ''We put all our marbles inside.''

It was a frustrating defeat for Boise State against a team that fell to Hawai'i five weeks ago.  The loss eliminates Boise State from a chance at the Mountain West Conference title, meaning Wyoming will play San Diego State December 3.  The Broncos were the conference's only hope to play in a New Year's Six game, with that spot likely secured by undefeated Western Michigan.

"It's like an empty feeling,'' Boise State receiver Cedrick Wilson said. ''We wish we could have pulled through like we practiced but sometimes you fall short.''

Air Force (9-3, 5-3 in the Mountain West) held a huge advantage in time of possession (41:27 to 18:33), constantly keeping the Boise State defense on their heels despite the Bronco defense knowing what they were going to do nearly every play.  Falcon student-athletes are training to join the world's top aerial attack in the United States Air Force, but it was their ground game that once again gave Boise State fits.  

''It's a game I thought we prepared well for and our guys were looking forward to coming in here and playing our best football,'' Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. ''We didn't do that tonight, so a lot of disappointment in the locker room.''

Boise State fell to 10-2 and 6-2 with the loss.  The usually unpredictable, high-powered Bronco offense was instead a unit that produced only four players in the game's box score. Harsin elected to stay with Rypien despite his quarterback starting the game 0-8 and 1-12 and completing just three passes in 16 first-half attempts.

 McNichols (22 carries for 88 yards), Rypien (2 carries for 1 yard) and Thomas Sperbeck (1 carry for a negative 5 yards) were the only ball carriers for Boise State. 

Wilson and Sperbeck were spectacular for the Broncos, as Wilson caught four passes for a career-high 193 yards and a touchdown and Sperbeck recorded five catches for 123 yards.  Wilson tied John Smith (1974), Titus Young (2009) and Austin Pettis (2010) with his 10th receiving touchdown this year.  Boise State, which often included 8-10 receivers in their passing game in their heyday, didn't feature any other players to catch a pass today except Wilson and Sperbeck.

For the first time in school history, Boise State has two 1,000-yard receivers in the same season.  Sperbeck moved into third on the single-season list with 1,193 while Wilson is in 10th with 1,041.  With 122 catches between them, Sperbeck and Wilson are the #7 pass-catching duo in school history.   The incredible duo are the only two receivers at Boise State to combine for over 300 yards in a game twice.    

Sperbeck tied Mike Wilson (76 receptions in 1992) for seventh all-time in catches in a season, passing Jeremy Childs (72 in 2008) and Austin Pettis and Titus Young (71 each in 2009).

McNichols, whose 60 yards on the first two carries gave Boise State a 7-0 lead, managed just 28 yards in his next 20 carries as the Bronco offensive line had major difficulty pushing their opponent off the line of scrimmage despite possessing a decided weight advantage.  Boise State converted on just 1-of-12 third-down opportunities.

McNichols has 1,663 yards this season and passed Brock Forsey (1,611 in 2002) for third-best in Bronco history (see charts at conclusion of article.)  McNichols is 50 yards away from Ian Johnson's total in 2006 and 160 yards behind Jay Ajayi's school record of 1,823 in 2014.  Jeremy also passed Forsey with 2,185 all-purpose yards and is 14 behind another school record set two years ago by Ajayi.  McNichols tied Ajayi for fifth in career points with 330. 

The Air Force defense stiffened after allowing the opening touchdown drive, and Brett Baldwin made the play of the game when he broke through and blocked a Sean Wale punt just prior to halftime.  Weaver caught the ball and easily ran it in to give the Falcons a 17-7 lead.

Rypien finally got on track in the fourth quarter, finding Wilson for a 75-yard touchdown pass to bring the Broncos within seven with 8:50 remaining.  Rypien connected with Wilson for 39 yards and Sperbeck for 47 yards before the Falcon goal-line stand.  Rypien finished the game 9-of-26 for 316 yards.

Rypien jumped Taylor Tharp's 2007 senior season and now owns the #8 and #9-best single season marks for passing yards.  With 6,794 yards in two seasons, Rypien is 228 yards shy of the total that Kellen Moore (2008-11) accumulated in his first two seasons.  Rypien tied Bart Hendricks (1997-2000) with his 10th career game over 300 yards and his 212 completions in 2016 now rank as the 10th-most in school history, but he is 61 short of last year's total despite playing in more games.

However, Rypien has topped his 2015 yardage in total offense and now owns the #9 and #10 marks in that category.

Falcon fullbacks D.J. Johnson and Shayne Davern combined for 111 yards.  Johnson plunged in from one yard out in the first quarter and Davern found paydirt on an 8-yard run in the third.  Quarterback Arion Worthman added 80 rushing yards of his own, the latest in a long line of running quarterbacks to confuse a beleaguered Bronco defense.  Jalen Robinette had three catches for 45 yards to give him 118 career receptions, second in school history.

Air Force will be playing in their ninth bowl game since coach Troy Calhoun came to Colorado Springs in 2007.  Boise State will play in their 16th-straight bowl game.  Both teams will find out their postseason travel plans Sunday.
