Week 9 College Football Researchers Association Poll
November 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment
It looks like the CFRA was correct in its lack of respect for USC. While all other major rankings systems had USC in the top 5, ranked ahead many of the current unbeatens, the CFRA kept them below Boise, Cincy, and TCU. The association should feel vindicated this weekend, as Southern Cal got tore up by Oregon. The top 3 here are the same as the other major polls, but Boise continues to hold on to the CFRA 4-spot, despite falling to # 7 in the BCS. In addition to Boise, this poll continues to have a great deal of love for non-BCS schools, as you will notice in the “teams ranked higher in CFRA poll” stat on the bottom of the entry. Also, for the fourth straight week, there is a tie in the poll, as both Oklahoma and Wisconsin share the 22 spot. Here are this week’s rankings:
1. Florida (6)- 246 points
2. Texas (3)- 241 points
3. Alabama (1)- 233 points
4. Boise State- 212 points
