Week 12 Network Ranking

by Patrick Rhamey

Not much change here, other than Miami moving up ahead of Alabama.  You don't get much out of playing the Mercer Bears.  The undefeateds stay undefeated with the usual suspects hovering nearby.  While the bottom ranked undefeated (UCF) has a lower value for their wins than Notre Dame, Georgia, Penn State, Oklahoma, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Michigan State, Clemson, Northwestern, and Iowa, none of those one or more loss teams have good enough wins to overcome the negative impact of their losses.
