Title: Seven teams separate themselves in Computer Composite
Post by: bama57 on September 30, 2014, 06:20:28 AM
After five weeks of games, the College Football Computer Composite rankings have identified a seven-team class that represents the top tier of the Football Bowl Subdivision.

The five former Bowl Championship Series computers that combine to make the CFCC see a clear break between Alabama, Florida State, Oregon, Auburn, Oklahoma, UCLA and Texas A&M — in that order — and the rest of the FBS. The gap between A&M and No. 8 Baylor is by far the largest separating any two teams in the latest CFCC, which was calculated after Week 5's games.

The top seven teams are ranked in the top 10 of each of the five computers.

The computers may agree, but the eye test says there are only 4.   ;)

I think the jury is still out on aTm.  They looked like world beaters against THE USC and have continued to do well against some much lesser quality teams.  Against arKansas they struggled a bit but I'm not sure how that win will stack up at the end of the season just yet...

Kenny Thrill looks great until he gets hit.  MSU will give him a few early shots to test his backbone.  If he gets rattled, as he did against Arky, MSU can run up a big score (at home).  It all depends on offensive line vs the MSU D-rush.
