Florida #1 Yet Again

1. The Gators have the toughest schedule among the unbeatens. That's why they're this week's #1. Don't expect that to change as long as the Gators keep winning.

   Conference Rating 1 Southeastern .56878 2 Big East .56658 3 Pacific-10 .54967 4 Big Ten .53711 5 Big XII .53557 6 Atlantic Coast .50467 7 Mountain West .49013 8 Western Athletic .45732 9 USA .43896 10 Mid-American .39463 11 Sun Belt .39061

   Notes: #3 Boise State has both the weakest schedule among the unbeaten teams and the largest quality win (Oregon) in the country. Without my quality win component, the Broncos would be #7. There are currently only six quality wins (ranked in value of win): Boise State > Oregon Miami (Florida) > Georgia Tech Florida > Louisiana State Iowa > Penn State North Carolina State > Pittsburgh Texas-El Paso > Houston There likely will be more than ten by the end of the season. Big games this week: 10 Louisiana State at 5 Alabama 18 Ohio State at 11 Penn State If today were BCS Selection Sunday, and only this system were used: Automatic Bids: Georgia Tech (Orange Bowl), Cincinnati, Iowa (BCS Championship Game), Texas (Fiesta Bowl), Oregon (Rose Bowl), Florida (BCS Championship Game), Boise State. At-large pool: Alabama, Texas Christian, Penn State, Miami (Florida), Pittsburgh, Houston. Selection process: Sugar Bowl selects first after losing Florida. They select Alabama.
