Week 11 College Football Researchers Association (CFRA) Poll
Posted by deaconcat08 on November 16, 2009
Finally, we have a major shakeup at the top of the CFRA rankings. The CFRA has reversed the BCS and AP top 3 ranking Texas at 1, Bama at 2, and Florida at 3. Even more surprising is the fact that TCU has garnered two first-place votes making the CFRA the first major poll this season to give first-place votes to a non-BCS team. This may foreshadow possible movement within the CFRA to split the national champinons if TCU were to win out. In addition, for the sixth consecutive week, there are ties in the poll with both Iowa and Stanford sharing the 15 spot, Houston and Miami deadlocked at 20, and USC and Utah tied at # 24.
