Weeks at AP #1

www.winsipedia.com/ranking/weeks-at-ap-number-one

I think this is a really interesting stat, and shows who has dominated college football

Alabama is of course #1 at 122 weeks, followed by the other big names...Oklahoma (101), Ohio State (105), Notre Dame (98), and USC (91)

Then it drops down to Miami (68), FSU (72), and Nebraska (70), the dominating teams of the 80s and 90s

And then it drops down again to Texas (45), Florida (41) , LSU (38), and Michigan (34)

Clemson could easily work their way up this season

Tennessee and Georgia are so overblown as historical programs

Auburn has been ranked AP #1 only 9 weeks

Arkansas and Wisconsin have only been ranked #1 in the AP one week!!!! wow

The ranking is an output. I'd much rather see what stat leads to a team's dominance.

I did this in my Masters program statistics class. I regressed many variables, rushing O, rush D, pass o Pass D, penalties, TOs...

The stat that most correlated with wins and ranking was rushing D.

Under 3 YPC was strongly correlated with wins per season and thus, rank.
