As we get closer to the end of the season, we can start to see how the rankings are breaking down in comparison with where the BCS rankings sit, and we can start to see how accurate or inaccurate the mainstream rankings may be. Here's the latest breakdown:
FBS
1. Florida State 9-0, 2175...The Noles have been red hot lately. Smashing their way into title game.
2. Alabama 9-0, 2141...Tide is right behind the Noles, and they are looking like a title game lock.
3. Northern Illinois 9-0, 2028...The Huskies lead Fresno State by 113 points. Slim margin.
4. Ohio State 9-0, 1989...The Buckeyes can get into BCS title game, but looks like BCS has it right.
5. Fresno State 9-0, 1915...Trailing NIU in our rankings for that precious non-AQ spot.
6. Baylor 8-0, 1874...Bears can't get into top 3, but have one more to play than the others.
7. Missouri 9-1, 1766...Tigers can finish in top 5, but winning out is a must to win SEC East.
8. Ball State 9-1, 1761...BSU is MAC team nobody's talking about. Great season for Pete Lembo.
9. Oregon 8-1, 1753...Ducks loss to Stanford was painful not just for them, but for conference profile.
10. Auburn 9-1, 1706...Tigers are one of the most surprising teams in nation. Look out Bama!
11. Louisville 8-1, 1603...Cards have underperformed week in and out. Record is deceiving.
12. Stanford 8-1, 1599...Cardinal got huge win over Oregon, but top 5 in BCS is nuts.
13. Oklahoma State 8-1, 1596...Been a quiet season for OSU, who can still win Big 12.
14. Clemson 8-1, 1529...Tigers lost some wind after FSU loss, but they are still strong.
15. Central Florida 7-1, 1457...Knights can climb much higher with 4 left. Sugar Bowl likely.
16. Texas 7-2, 1398...Horns survived tough test in Morgantown. Still unbeaten in Big 12 okay.
17. Michigan State 8-1, 1377...The Spartans are a shocking challenger for Big 10 title.
18. Texas A&M 8-2, 1360...Aggies are surviving, not dominating. Manziel has been a pick machine.
19. UCLA 7-2, 1352...Bruins used defense on offense to win with Myles Jack. It worked.
20. South Carolina 7-2, 1279...Gamecocks are still not out of it in SEC East.
21. Arizona State 7-2, 1204...Devils, not UCLA, control the PAC-12 South race.
22. Minnesota 8-2, 1201...The Gophers are a huge shock in 2013. Best team in years.
23. Wisconsin 7-2, 1183...Badgers handled BYU at home. Better than they should be.
24. Oklahoma 7-2, 1179...The Sooners are forgotten about in Big 12, and looked horrible this week.
25. Houston 7-2, 1176...Cougs lost out on AAC title with loss to UCF. Still a solid season.
