Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4819950, member: 289"] I’ll continue to keep track of how teams did against ranked teams. Just something to look at in evaluating teams. The formula is to give teams points based on the ranking of the team they played: 25 points for playing a #1 ranked team, 24 for #2, 23 for #3, down to 1 point for playing #25. (A shortcut: subtract the number of the ranking from 26). Then you add in the net point differential of the game. Example: Navy lost to #13 Notre Dame 3-42. The Middies get 13 points for playing the #13 team but lose 39 for losing to that team 3-42. Net points: -26. Let’s see who had the best result each week and who accumulates the most points over the season. WEEK 10 Alabama beat #14 Louisiana State 42-28 = +26 points Arizona beat #19 UCLA 27-10 = +24 Georgia beat #12 Missouri 30-21 = +23 Army beat #25 Air Force 23-3 = +21 Oklahoma State beat #9 Oklahoma 27-24 = +20 Clemson beat #15 Notre Dame 31-23 = +19 Kansas State lost to #7 Texas 30-33 = +16 Washington beat #20 Southern California 52-42 = +16 Missouri lost to #2 Georgia 21-30 = +15 Texas A&M lost to #10 Mississippi 35-38 = +13 Southern California lost to #5 Washington 42-52 = +11 Rutgers lost to #1 Ohio State 16-35 = +6 Texas beat #23 Kansas State 33-30 = +6 Pittsburgh lost to #4 Florida State 7-24 = +5 Louisiana State beat #8 Alabama 28-42 = +4 Colorado lost to #16 Oregon State 19-26 = +3 East Carolina lost to #24 Tulane 10-13 = -1 Oklahoma lost to #1 Oklahoma State 24-27 = -1 Iowa State lost to #21 Kansas 21-28 = -2 Purdue lost to #3 Michigan 13-41 = -5 Virginia Tech lost to #13 Louisville 3-34 = -18 Maryland lost to #11 Penn State 15-51 = -21 California lost to #6 Oregon 19-63 = -24 Arizona State lost to #18 Utah 3-55 = -44 Connecticut lost to #17 Tennessee 3-59 = -47 The weekend featured six games between ranked teams and a lot of close, competitive games.
