How Do I Get To the Internet?

Last week was very busy, and The Internet actually took pity on me and let me skip the week.

I don't 100% understand why Florida has ended up #1, but they're there, and Clemson is hanging on at one since The Internet does not penalize for close calls capriciously, as allegedly professional polesters do. 

I haven't abandoned you.

All right, after doing a lot of research on what the internet wanted, and thinking of a pracrtical way to do this (as since The Internet can't actually force teams to play each other, it had to come up with other ways to do this), the Internet ultimately decided on doing some playoff ladders.

All right!  It's been a long journey, but we're finally here.  The college football season is complete.  The conference finals (for teams that have them) are also complete! 

Sorry about last week.  But ultimately it was for the best, as it gave a couple weeks for things at the top to settle. 

The Internet ranks Clemson and Notre Dame ahead of Alabama, but it's pretty close.  Basically the difference is quality of opponents is the determining factor.  Oh sure, the standard SEC Wank conventional wisdom tries to argue that Alabama's strength of schedule has been so much better, but while it's very close, the numbers do at this time favor other schools, and based off the arguments that their fans have been posting for years. 

Well, I did my job.  Rome did not.  So no rank explanation this week.  Something about Thanksgiving. Here is what I ranked teams last week:

I waited and waited for the ranks to update on the College Football Playoff site and . . .they still haven't shown up there.  So, I finally googled it and they just didn't put them there. 

Week 9 was crazy. Week 10 was less crazy, but the aftermath of the week 9 craziness caused the Interent's rankings to once again bunch up and to once again get kind of messy.

Well the official rankings are out.  And frankly I'm rather annoyed by them.  The Interent notes that the records aren't THAT different from Its rankings and that it doesn't even have a lot of confidence in anything below 7, but personally I think it's garbage.  Florida is bad.  Michigan is mediocre.  None of these teams are better than UCF.  What will it take for them to be properly respected?  I guess at least poll does a better job of respecting the Pac-12 than The Internet, who insists "numbers don't lie."  Whatever.

Here are the rankings for posterity.
