HIGHLIGHTS
Our national champions, the Oklahoma Sooners. have the highest final power quotient of any
champion in the 17 years we've been rating college football teams. Their rating of 127.9 is a full
seven points higher than runner-up Alabama.
And we can't remember when the top ten teams have remained so constant throughout a sea
son. Oklahoma has been irl since early in October, and eight of the other nine teams have
been in the group from the beginning
Each year we feel we should put in our reminder note about the ratings of the top 40 teams.
Keep in mind that a team’s rating is based on the AVERAGE of its performance against ALL op
position throughout the entire season. Also, a team’s won and lost record has no bearing on its
national position. . calibre of competition is a major factor in determining a team's rating.
The crystal ball percentage has had some rather unusual ups and downs this fall, but it fi
nally settled a little above last year's level 2.197 games were included in all our forecasts this
year. We picked the winners in 1,628 .. missed in 520 (there were 49 ties) and finished with a
final average of .758.
The rather unbelievable power of the Big Eight Conference is extremely obvious in the ratings
of the conferences. Leading the second place Southeast Conference by 9.5 points, the Big 8 has
moved further out in front each fall The Southwest Conference eased by the Pacific Eight Confer
ence this year and moved into third place The biggest loser in the ratings was the Missouri Valley
Conference which dropped from 9th in 1972 to 13th place this year. Conference ratings are based
on each league's power quotient average determined from the ratings of all teams in every con
ference. Of the more than 65 football conferences, here are the twenty strongest in the na
tion.
