2010 WASEAN Team Ratings – Week 9

Michigan State and Missouri lost over Halloween weekend, leaving five undefeated teams. Here’s how WASEAN sees the top 10:

RK	LW	Team	WASEAN	RW	RL	RT
1	2	Oregon	0.9048	8	0	0
2	1	Boise State	0.8975	7	0	0
3	3	TCU	0.8857	9	0	0
4	4	Alabama	0.8472	7	1	0
5	5	Ohio State	0.8383	8	1	0
6	9	Stanford	0.8219	7	1	0
7	7	Utah	0.8211	7	0	1
8	6	Missouri	0.8109	7	1	0
9	10	Iowa	0.8054	6	2	0
10	12	Auburn	0.7959	8	0	1

I guess I have some explaining to do with BCS #1 Auburn at #10. The are ahead of everyone they’ve beaten. And they are undefeated in the SEC. I get this. But they’ve left home 3 times. Those three games saw them win 17-14 at #38 Mississippi State, 37-34 at #58 Kentucky and 51-31 at #70 Mississippi.

That road record is not typically what you’d expect of the best team in the country. #129 Vanderbilt went to Mississippi and won 28-14. #69 Fresno State went to Mississippi and won 55-38. A 51-31 win there is not a big deal.

Mississippi State is a decent team, sure. But they beat UAB at home 29-24. Kentucky only lost 24-17 there. The best team in the country goes in there and wins by more than 17-14.

At home Auburn needed a come from behind OT win to beat #42 Clemson 27-24. Clemson was winning 17-3 at halftime. They beat #16 South Carolina 35-27, #14 Arkansas 65-43 (a game they trailed in the 4th quarter) and #21 LSU 24-17.

What I (and WASEAN) see here is a good team that has been fortunate to have their toughest games (so far) at home. But when 4 other teams are undefeated and several others have one loss to good teams on the road, I don’t see how anyone can consider this the best team in the country.
