Week 7 College Football Researchers Association Rankings
Posted by deaconcat08 on October 18, 2009
The Week 7 CFRA poll is here. Here are a few highlights: as Southern Cal climbs back up to # 4 in the AP and Coaches polls, the researchers in our association still remember that they lost to Washington several weeks back. As a result, we still have five unbeaten teams ahead of the Trojans. Florida is still holding on to the # 1 spot, but Bama is closing in just like you see in the other polls and the BCS. And speaking of the devil, I found it interesting that the CFRA rankings more accurately reflect the BCS standings than the actual polls factored into it. Makes me wonder if someone behind closed doors isn’t reading this poll and factoring it into the BCS computer rankings. Furthermore, for the second straight week the only tie we have is for the # 11 spot. Kinda odd. At any rate, here are this week’s rankings:
1. Florida (6)- 221 points
2. Alabama (3)- 217 points
3. Texas- 210 points
4. Boise State- 190 points
5. Cincinnati- 183 points
