College Football Power Ratings Through Week 9

-
Hey guys, my computer has churned out a new set of rankings through this past weekend's games. Things of note:
1) Notre Dame climbs up to #2 after their schlacking of now #5 Oklahoma.
2) Kansas State takes a big rise to #6 after their beatdown of Texas Tech.
3) Florida remains a hair ahead of Georgia after that crazy game in Jacksonville
4) I feel pretty confident in these power ratings. Now that I have a way to figure out what the spread should be for games, it seems to be within 3 points of the Vegas spread about 70-80% of the time (just testing out the marquee games of the week). However, it seems to be broken for games with huge lines (for example, it said Oregon should've been a 13 point favorite against Colorado). I'll have to find a fix for that.
5) My flight out of Baltimore back home to Detroit was fine, so I have escaped the wrath of the Frankenstorm. Yeah! Here's my computer's top 25.

1 Alabama
2 Notre Dame
3 Florida
4 Georgia
5 Oklahoma
6 Kansas State
7 Florida State
8 Oregon
9 South Carolina
10 LSU
11 Clemson

13 Ohio State
14 Oklahoma State
15 Nebraska

17 Oregon State
18 Texas A&M
19 BYU
20 Texas Tech
21 Rutgers
22 Stanford
23 Boise State
24 North Carolina
25 Tennessee

Next 5 out: UCF, UCLA, Mississippi State, Penn State, West Virginia

Well, in the unlikely event that there is an NCAA tournament, here's my projection for it. Stanford really hurt themselves with their loss to Cal, their SOR is almost unprecedentedly bad for an at-large team. Xavier made things really interesting with a loss to DePaul, they're my last team in. Also out west, Colorado continued a massive slide with a loss to Washington State. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers, USC 9: Marquette, Colorado, LSU, Providence 10: Florida, Indiana,  East Tennessee State , Texas Tech 11: Wichita State,  Utah State , Arizona State, (Richmond/Cincinnati) 12: (Texas/Xavier),  Stephen F.

The biggest game of the day on Friday was Northern Iowa's loss to Drake in the Arch Madness quarterfinals. I have kept the Panthers as the last team in the field for now, but it's going to be a long wait for them until Selection Sunday. Most of their resume comparisons haven't made the tournament, although their NET remains solid. A massive day awaits today, with nearly every bubble team in action. Updates will be daily from now until Selection Sunday. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  San Diego State 2:  Dayton ,  Florida State, Maryland, Seton Hall 3: Villanova, Creighton, Duke, Michigan State 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: BYU, Butler, Penn State, Iowa 6: Wisconsin, Michigan, Auburn, Colorado 7: West Virginia, Houston, Illinois, Virginia 8: St. Mary's, Arizona, Marquette, Oklahoma 9: Texas Tech, Rutgers, USC, Florida 10: Xavier, LSU,  East Tennessee State , Providence 11: Indiana, Wichita State, Texas, (Arizona State/Richmond) 12: (P

The last quiet bubble day of conference tournament week is done, with six more bids punched. Robert Morris moves into the field for St. Francis PA after their win in the NEC title game. I was supposed to be heading to Madison Square Garden for the Big East tournament tomorrow and likely up to Cambridge for the Ivy League tournament this weekend. I've cancelled my trip to New York, and the Ivy League tournament has been cancelled with Yale given the conference's berth in March Madness with their regular season title. 1:  Kansas , Baylor,  Gonzaga ,  Dayton 2: San Diego State,  Villanova,  Creighton,  Florida State 3:  Michigan State , Maryland, Duke, Seton Hall 4: Louisville,  Kentucky ,  Oregon , Ohio State 5: Wisconsin, Butler, BYU, Auburn 6: West Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois 7: Penn State, Virginia, St. Mary's,   Houston 8: Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Rutgers 9: USC, Marquette, LSU, Providence 10: Florida,  East Tennessee State , Indiana, Texas Tech 1
