10/4/15 College Football Rankings Thread (AP #18, Coaches #21)

Submitted by MGoClimb on

After last weeks demolition of BYU, there was a thread for every individual ranking that was published. I thought it may be cleaner for the MGoBoard if they could be consolidated into a single thread, especially since threads such as the Coaches Poll ranking typically only generate one thought (omg these rankings suck).

Here are the rankings available for Michigan:

ESPN FPI: #20 (#17 power rankings)

Sagarin: #7 

Massey: #20 (#21 power rankings)

Massey Composite: #14 (will likely change as more rankings become available)

AP Poll: #18

Coaches Poll: #21

There are countless polls available, so if there is one you'd like to point out just leave a note and I'll add it.

May work. May not. Worth a shot.

My biggest concern about Northwestern: the last three have essentially come down to the last play. 2012: Gardner throws the Hail Mary that Roundtree some how winds up catching; 2013: Dileo slides to place the ball for a Gibbons field goal; 2014: failed two point attempt. My worry is that the football gods may be ready to even things out. Hopefully Harbaugh and staff will have the team well ahead by the fourth quarter this year.

The playoffs presence  makes the style-point effect less contentious in my opinion.

 

There is a rough equivalence to being ranked 1, 2, 3, or 4 that wasn't there before.  So winning unconvincingly resulting in a loss of ranking isn't unreasonable, as long as continued winning keeps a team in the top four.
