Forecasts and graphics provided by AccuWeather Inc. ©2019 Cotton, Minn.
Cold air will keep its grip
over much of the eastern
two-thirds of the nation today.
The leading edge of the
colder air will bring clouds
and showers to parts of
central and south Florida.
Snow showers will linger in
the wake of the recent snow-
storm over northern New
England.
Light snow and flurries
will shift from the northern
Plains to the western Great
Lakes region.
Farther south, cold rain
showers are forecast to
gather over south Texas.
Most areas west of the
Rockies will be dry and
sunny with mild to warm
conditions in store.
These computer ratings for Division I football teams were devised by
Jeff Sagarin, a 1970 MIT mathematics graduate. The rating is a
numerical measure of the team’s strength. A hypothetical victory
margin is determined by comparing the rating of the two teams after
adding 2.43 points to the home team. This home edge will vary during
the season. Only Division I games are counted for rating and schedule
strength during the season. *FCS team.
The recent column is score-based and weights recent play more
heavily than earlier games. Its effect will become more pronounced the
longer a season goes if a given team happens to have an upward or
downward trend. For more Sagarin ratings, go to http://www.usatoday.com.

SAGARIN COLLEGE FOOTBALL RATINGS

The second College Football Playoff
rankings have a very different look from
the first one from a week ago.
It starts at the top. LSU, slotted at
No. 2 in the opening Top 25, moved past
Ohio State on the strength of its defeat
of then-No. 3 Alabama. The Buckeyes
cruised past Maryland 73-14, but the
impressive road win by the Tigers was
enough to move them into the No. 1 spot.
Clemson, Georgia and Alabama com-
plete the top five spots with four weeks
of the regular season left to play. While


still being in the top five would seem to

be a positive for the Crimson Tide, the

likely lack of even a Southeastern Con-

ference West Division title will be an is-

sue if measured against other confer-

ence champions with one loss. Their re-

sume does not include a win against a

Top 25 team in the committee’s rank-

ings. The only opportunity for an im-

pressive victory will come Nov. 30 at Au-

burn.

Rounding out the top 10 of this week’s

ranking are Oregon, Utah, Minnesota,

Penn State and Oklahoma.

The Golden Gophers rose nine spots

from No. 17 after defeating unbeaten

Penn State to stay unbeaten. That’s the

biggest rise from any team into the top

10 and puts them in position with three

more wins – including defeats of Iowa

and Wisconsin – to face Ohio State or

the Nittany Lions in the Big Ten Confer-

ence championship game with a College

Football Playoff berth on the line.

Meanwhile, the Sooners slipped two

places after a narrow defeat of Iowa

State in a game that they led by 21 points

in the fourth quarter. Participants in the

last two Playoffs, Oklahoma needs to

run the table, including beating No. 13

Baylor possibly twice, to get considera-

tion. But it might not be enough if both

one-loss Oregon and one-loss Utah

reach the Pac-12 title game unscathed in

the rest of the regular season.

No. 17 Cincinnati was the top Group

of Five team, giving it the inside track on

a New Year’s Six bowl invitation that

goes to a team outside the Power Five

conferences. Right behind the Bearcats

in the back portion of the top 25 are

Memphis, Boise State and Navy.

The top four teams in the final rank-

ings Dec. 7 will play in the semifinals.

Those games will take place at the Peach

Bowl and the Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 28.

The title game will be Jan. 13 in New Or-

leans at Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

LSU passes Ohio State for No. 1 in Playoff rankings
