Rankings through games of 2012-12-02

New entries: BYU.

Dropped out: Rutgers.

We arrive at the "end" of the regular season (only Army-Navy remaining) with few surprises.  Alabama finishes the regular season in the top spot thanks to the #1 defense and #2 offense.  Oregon and Notre Dame finish tied for second thanks to the #1 offense and #2 defense, respectively.  Looking forward to the national championship game, RBA will favor the Crimson Tide; the only question is how much.

SEC runner-up Georgia finishes tied with Texas A&M for #6 behind #4 Florida and #5 LSU.  Georgia fans should thank their lucky stars that SEC schedule makers continue to push the easy button for the Bulldogs.  They cakewalked through Auburn and Ole Miss from the west as the Gators played LSU and Texas A&M and the Gamecocks played LSU and Arkansas without a healthy Marcus Lattimore.  You have to wonder if the Bulldogs were really the best team in the SEC East.

Personally, I'm most surprised by Stanford finishing the regular season in the top 10.  There's no way I would have expected a team to lose Andrew Luck, beat Oregon, nearly beat Notre Dame on the road, and find their way into the Rose Bowl.  Much like Texas A&M beating Alabama, that's why they play the games.

Our mid-major of the year remains Boise State, but kudos to Utah State finishing the season at #22.
