HIGHLIGHTS
Ohio State is the Harmon National Champion for 1968 with Penn State finishing in the run
„ ° ~.;n n I- last vear’s final ratings, Penn State was 10th, the Buckeyes were 35th.
k With an^ve'rage power quotient of 104.7, there was more football POWER jammed into the Top
Twenh Teams this\ear than in any other year. And no less than fourteen of these teams are in
volved^in Bowl Games which should make for some of the finest post-season entertainment foot-
F ball fans have ever enjoyed.
k The biggest mover among the top powers was Florida State. The Seminoles clobbered North
k^ Carolina SUte. Wake Forest, and Houston in their final three games to move from almost no-
where into the No. 10 spot in the final ratings.
Inct a note about the ratings of the Top Forty Teams: Please keep in mind that a team's
ratinn is based on the AVERAGE of its performance against ALL opposition through the entire
k season A team's won ancHost record has no bearing on its national position. Calibre of compe-
tition is a major factor in determining a team’s rating.
For the third consecutive year, the powerful Southeast Conference ranks Number One among
P the more than 65 football conferences in the country. However, they just nosed out the strong
k Big Eight Conference which moved from sth place last year to the runner-up spot in 908
The Pacific Coast Conference, Southwest Conference, and Big Ten each dropped a notch
to 3rd 4th and sth respectively. To repeat once again: These ratings are based on each
league’s power quotient average, determined from the ratings of all teams in every conference. T
