Weekly Rankings: Week 9, Oct 27

Alrighty, not too many big upsets this past weekend, though some top teams did have close calls. Just a reminder, this is a ranking of achievement, not power, which is why Kansas is #3. Are they better than LSU or Oregon? Probably not, but the Jayhakws are still undefeated, which is a major achievement 8 games into the season. Ohio State has a healthy lead at #1, but that's because they've played 1 more game than everyone else in the top 10. It'll be interesting to see if they can hold their lead when everyone else catches up in games played.

As for conference toughness, the SEC is still tops by far, followed by the Big East & the Big 10. Yes, the Big 10 is having a down year, but even though some of their non-conference losses have been extremely ugly, they've still won 33 against other conferences.

And as we did last week, here's the SoS rankings. Washington has the toughest schedule yet again, and they're increasing their lead (as their winning percentage decreases, unfortunately.) 2nd place Nebraska is almost 300 points behind them.
