Week 2 CFRA Rankings
Posted by deaconcat08 on September 13, 2009
As I mentioned in my previous entry, with the help of a few other college football experts, I am renewing the legendary College Football Researcher’s Association poll for the season. The votes have been calculated for this week’s rankings, so without further ado, may I present to you the first CFRA poll since 1935.
1. Florida (6)- 150 points
2. Texas- 144 points
3. Southern Cal- 136 points
4. Alabama- 131 points
5. Penn State- 122 points
6. Brigham Young- 117 points

As you can see, the results came out pretty similar to what the other prestigious national polls, the AP and Coaches. Some of the biggest disparities were Cincinnati (15 in our poll, 21 in Coaches) and Georgia (25 in our poll, 20 in Coaches). We actually ended up having the exact same top 25 as the AP. Again, please let me know if you’d like to take part in the future CFRA weekly rankings.
