LVSC Week 13 College Football Rankings

Every week Las Vegas Sports Consultants, the world's largest oddsmaking company, releases their top polls/rankings for the major sports. They describe their polls as ones in which "teams are ranked purely by the numbers, without media, regional, league, conference or any other biases – just the facts as determined by LVSC’s team of experts." Because they use the same information that is used to make the betting lines, it is perhaps the most complete and accurate poll. We will post the updated college football poll here every Tuesday and the updated NFL rankings on Wednesdays.



The top 5 spots stay the same this week, but Oklahoma drops from the six hole down to tenth following their loss to Texas Tech. They continue to be the team with the most disparity from the BCS polls as they remain unranked by the BCS. Stanford's loss drops them 5 spots to number 18. Interestingly, they are back behind USC who they destroyed just two weeks ago. It goes to show how much pure athleticism factors into college football. Notice that TCU holds a 2 point margin over fifth place Oregon. I am telling you, this team is for real. They definitely have the talent to hang with the big boys.
