Rankings through games of 2012-11-18


New entries: Oregon St..

Dropped out: UCLA.

Standard disclaimers apply.  RBA predicts what will happen in the future, not comment on the past.  This is why Alabama and Oregon are the top two teams instead of undefeated Notre Dame.

We like to joke about Notre Dame waking up the echoes since 1993, but they've earned it at least as much as 2010 Auburn, squeaking by clawing to a gutsy victories over (74) Purdue and (54) Pittsburgh.  After 11 games, we're pretty confident that the Irish can play defense, but they are unlikely to move the ball well enough to beat Alabama or Oregon, leaving them tied with LSU for #3 in the RBA poll.

I hope y'all took Justin's advice about Alabama winding up in the national championship game because that's what it looks like we're getting if the status quo holds.
