CFB Power Rankings
Nov. 16, 2008 Rankings
By Paul Bessire, WhatIfSports.com
WhatIfSports.com utilizes its NCAA football simulation to present the most comprehensive, deterministic and unbiased ranking of all teams. We simulated every possible DI FBS matchup one hundred times, and used the winning percentages from 700,000-plus games to evaluate every team.
All 120 teams are ranked below with their average points for and against from the simulated games. Simulations are based on updated, strength-of-schedule-adjusted stats, so significant week-to-week changes could occur.
