Week 12 Rankings

No Sunday game this week, so here are the rankings.

Things are spreading out a bit at the top. Alabama has increased their lead over #2 Florida to about 15 points. But like in the BCS, this really doesn't matter - whoever wins their showdown in two weeks is most likely going to end up #1 overall in my final regular season rankings. The only team that can prevent that is Texas, who have a shot, but not much of one. TCU has crept close to the top two spots, getting within 4 points of the Gators.

Not too many other big movers this week. Oregon notches two more spots to cash in at #9, Miami (FL) jumps four spots, and North Carolina clocks in at #18, moving up ten spots. Toughest SoS is by far Mississippi State (playing Georgia Tech and Houston will definitely help your schedule toughness), then the northwest Pac10 schools.
