With the conference championships upon us, I got my power ratings updated.

This is not a look at resumes, or a debate over deserving, but a look at what the spreads would be in hypothetical matchups.

First, the ratings.

IAW	CFP	Top	Rating
1	1	Georgia	100.0
2	7	Ohio St	94.5
3	3	Alabama	93.9
4	2	Michigan	89.0
5	6	Notre Dame	85.2
6	4	Cincinnati	85.0
7	5	Oklahoma St	84.5
8	14	Oklahoma	83.7
9	25	Texas A&M	83.6
10	NR	Wisconsin	83.5
11	8	Ole Miss	82.9
12	15	Pittsburgh	82.8
13	17	Utah	82.8
14	NR	Iowa St	82.7
15	20	Clemson	82.6
16	NR	Penn St	81.5
17	10	Oregon	81.1
18	18	NC State	81.0
19	NR	Baylor	80.4
20	NR	Arkansas	80.1
21	13	Iowa	78.6
22	16	Wake Forest	78.5
23	11	Michigan St.	78.4
24	NR	Auburn	78.3
25	23	Kentucky	78.1
26	NR	Purdue	76.1
27	21	Houston	75.6
28	12	BYU	75.2
29	24	Louisiana	71.7
30	19	San Diego St	71.1
31	NR	UTSA	70.6

The first column is where they rank in my power ratings. The second column is where they rank in the CFP rankings. The number on the right is their raw power rating. To figure a spread, subtract one rating from the other. Example: Georgia would be a 6.1-point favorite over Alabama, 5.5-point favorite over Ohio St. and so on.

Last time I wrote this column, I was talking about the CFP rankings overrating Michigan State and Oregon. We see now how that worked out.

Gut feeling: If Alabama had come out at #2 this week, they could have afforded a close loss to Georgia and still get in. At 3, I think that was signaling if they lose, no matter what, they are out.

Also, yes, Ohio State is still power rated above Michigan. Yes, I know what just happened Saturday.
