Week 10 College Football Researchers Association Poll
November 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment
There are several interesting developments in this week’s CFRA poll. First of all, the association has pretty much found a solution for the controversy surrounding the Boise-TCU-Cincy battle for spots 4-6 in the polls, and that is to create a virtual tie between the 3 teams. As you will see, TCU, Boise, and Cincy are all separated by only one point in this poll. A similar 3-way struggle exists between USC, Ohio State, and LSU at numbers 10-12, which are also separated by a single point each in this poll. In addition, for the fifth straight week, there is a tie in the poll with both Miami and Oregon sharing the 15 spot. Furthermore, the CFRA continues to give respect to non-BCS teams, as Boise, Houston, and BYU were ranked higher in this poll than any others for the second straight week.
