College Football Rankings Week 7: Teams 26-111, Penn State's Epic Tumble

In the absence of any other head-to-head variables, if Team A beats Team B, and Team B beats Team C, then there's no way Team C can be ranked ahead of Teams A or B, right?

Penn State's wins are over Nevada, FIU, and Villanova. Two Bottom 25 teams and an FCS team. The loss to Oregon is fine, but UCLA ... no. UCLA's loss to New Mexico a few weeks ago now really matters. 

(Just trust us, this works out.)

So to do this right, these teams have to be ranked this way. 

Ball State, then Ohio, then West Virginia, then Pitt (who drops big even after a blowout win because of this one Nittany Lion loss), then UAB, Akron, Central Michigan, San Jose State, New Mexico, UCLA, Penn State, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, Tulsa, Oklahoma State. 

And yes, if and when Penn State bounces back and goes on a big run, this will all move up and change fast.
