College Football Week 15 Power Rankings

November 30, 2009

The top teams had some very close games this past weekend, but all of them came out unscathed. The college football predictions are now starting to look clearer as far as which team will get to each bowl game, but there is still one week of football left to play and a whole lot can happen in one week.

  1. Florida- The Gators were the only top three team that wasn’t threatened at all on Saturday. The offense looks to be coming together and the defense has been on top of its game for most of the season. The big clash with Alabama occurs this Saturday.
  2. Texas- Colt McCoy and the Longhorns had to battle against their rivals, but they ended up winning a shootout. McCoy is starting to look like a Heisman contender again and this team looks very dangerous. Nebraska is all that stands between them and a chance at the title.
  3. Alabama- The Iron Bowl was a real dog fight, but the Tide finally came back at the end and nipped Auburn 26-21. This Alabama defense has consistently been very good, and they’ll need to be just that again this coming week if they expect to beat Florida.
  4. TCU- The Horned Frogs weren’t tested a bit on Saturday. They still have an outside shot at making the BCS title game if Texas loses to Nebraska. More than likely TCU will be heading to a marquee match up in one of the other BCS games.
  5. Cincinnati- The Bearcats beat Illinois behind Tony Pike’s school record 6 touchdown passes. The defense is starting to struggle and that has to be a real concern for Brian Kelly. The showdown in Pittsburgh should be a great one this Saturday.
  6. Boise State- Boise State didn’t have much trouble at all with Nevada last Friday. Nevada got their yards running, but Boise was balanced on offense and controlled the game. Boise State has a chance for a Fiesta Bowl berth if things fall correctly.
  7. Oregon- The Ducks have a Thursday night showdown with their in-state rivals the Oregon State Beavers. This game is even bigger than normal, as the winner will play Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. The college football odds show that Oregon is a 9.5 point favorite in this one.
  8. Ohio State- The defense is as good as they come, and Pryor seems to be maturing. The conservative nature of the Buckeyes can be maddening for fans, but it has done pretty well for them of late.
  9. Iowa- The Hawkeyes will probably have quarterback Ricky Stanzi back for their bowl game, and they just might sneak into the BCS.
  10. Georgia Tech- Georgia Tech was the hunted this year and Georgia did indeed win as the underdog in their rivalry. Josh Nesbitt’s early injury put them behind the eight ball. The match up with Clemson should be very interesting.
  11. Virginia Tech- The Hokies have looked much better of late and finally have that strong running game rolling along with their potent defense.
  12. Oregon State- The Beavers have their chance to head to the Rose Bowl with a win over Oregon, but they’ll have to do it in Eugene.
  13. Penn State- The Nittany Lions have looked better of late, but they did benefit from a very easy schedule, which will likely keep them out of the BCS.
  14. Pittsburgh- Pittsburgh showed a lot of fight in their loss to West Virginia, but they came up just short. This weekend they’ll have a chance to knock off Cincinnati and share the Big East title.
  15. Miami- The Hurricanes won in impressive fashion over South Florida Saturday and locked up at least a nine win season.
  16. LSU- The Tigers had a nice comeback to get the Ole Miss disaster out of their minds.
  17. Brigham Young- A huge rivalry victory over Utah did a lot to make this a successful season for the Cougars.
  18. Nebraska- This may be a little high for Nebraska if they don’t play better than last weekend, but this team has potential with its amazing defense.
  19. California- The Golden Bears avoided a terrible late season collapse this year.
  20. USC- The Trojans beat rival UCLA and ruffled some feathers in the process.
  21. Houston- Case Keenum’s numbers are absolutely amazing.
  22. Stanford- Saturday might have finished Charlie Weis and won Gerhart the Heisman.
  23. West Virginia- Bill Stewart got a signature win last week against the the hated Panthers.
  24. Oklahoma State- The Cowboys were dismantled in ugly fashion Saturday.
  25. Clemson- Spiller and the Tigers are still a dangerous team.

My college football picks have been on fire of late. I am now 19-6 in my last 25 games. The slate may be smaller this coming weekend, but there is definitely some value out there. Check out my premium packages and subscriptions for winners throughout the entire week!
