sunshine state college football rankings
The Sunshine State College Football Rankings according to Ski:
It’s the second week of the college rankings for Florida, which means we can expect to see a good deal of shift at the top of the rankings from last week. An important note on my rankings, they are based largely on the schedule already played and not on a more subjective analysis of how good I think the team is. For those familiar with Dr. Saturday (formerly SMQB) I am following a similar objective analysis of teams schedules.
1. South Florida (3-0)
As the only Florida team to beat a ranked team (Kansas) the Bulls earn the top spot for this week. Of concern for the Bulls, as a defensive team they are likely to continue playing in close games. The law of averages says eventually that will backfire on the Bulls.
2. Florida (2-0)
A bye week for Florida before they play Tennessee this week. And yes, the Gators are the more talented team than USF but have not yet proven that.
3. Miami (1-1)
Miami remains high in the rankings after an impressive game last week against the Gators. They are roughly interchangeable with UCF, as both lost close games to superior teams.
4. Central Florida (2-1)
With a win against lowly South Carolina State the Golden Knights do not move in the rankings.
5. Florida State (2-0)
I give more stock to teams that played tight against superior teams (i.e. Miami and UCF) than teams which have so far beaten up on cream puffs. FSU may be much improved from last season but we won’t have an accurate gauge of the Noles until they play Wake this weekend.
6. Florida Atlantic (1-2)
Someone in the Big Ten must have sent out a memo on the Owls because after playing Michigan State last weekend, FIU plays Minnesota this week.
7. Florida International (0-2)
Are the Golden Panthers the worst team in Division 1-A? They’re close. Sports Illustrated has them ranked as the second worst team.
