LVSC Week 11 College Football Poll

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.



TCU makes the biggest jump in the rankings this week moving from the seventh spot up to number four. Interesting to note Oregon moving up a spot despite being pounded by Stanford last week. The boys in Vegas continue to feel strongly about Oklahoma despite another loss, one in which they managed to put only 3 points on the board. Predictably, Notre Dame drops from 18th to out of the top 30 altogether. That is probably not a shocker to anyone other than Charlie Weiss. Iowa also took a pretty big hit moving down eight spots to 19. This likely has as much to do with losing their starting QB as it does with them losing to Northwestern. Stanford moved into the top 30 and watching last weeks game, you get the feeling they might continue to move up the board. These are probably my favorite rankings because they are based solely on who the oddsmakers think will win games.

Let us hear your top 5 in the comment section below.
