2010 WASEAN Team Ratings – Week 4

There’s a new sheriff in town this week, and if it walks like a Duck, and talks like a Duck, it must be a Duck, right?

Clichés aside, after Alabama’s near loss at Arkansas, the Oregon Ducks take over the top stop this week. WASEAN sees Arizona State as the #17 team in the country, Arkansas as the #20. Oregon was quite a bit more impressive, and so they move to the top of the heap.

This sets up the game of the year (so far) this Saturday night. While everyone on the East Coast is asleep #1 Oregon hosts #3 Stanford, at 11:15 p.m. EDT. EDIT 9/27: This game has been moved to prime time (8 p.m. EDT) on ABC. Good job ABC!

There were some huge shifts this week. The game that shifted the rankings more than any wasn’t one you would expect.

#4 Fresno State lost 55-38 to #142 Mississippi. The same Rebel squad that lost to Jacksonville State in OT. My friends, isn’t losing to James Madison. Jacksonville State is ranked #27 in the FCS right now. This loss dropped Fresno from #4 to #72.

This sent some shockwaves through the top of the charts. This makes Cincinnati look a lot worse in retrospect, which now makes Oklahoma look bad – the Sooners dropped from #18 to #45. NC State, who also beat Fresno, drops from #5 to #18, despite an impressive win at Georgia Tech.

This just shows how volatile the early ratings can be. Things should stabilize in a few weeks.

According to WASEAN the most impressive performance of the week was the first one. Miami’s  31-3 win at Pitt scored a .945.

If you are an FCS fan, your game of the year is also this weekend, as #9 overall and #1 FCS James Madison hosts #33 overall and #2 FCS Delaware.
