This week's F/+ rankings are now posted at Outsiders. They include the special teams adjustment noted in last week's Varsity Numbers column. With special teams playing a more primary role, LSU remains No. 1, though their lackluster-for-a-half performance versus Western Kentucky allowed Alabama to put a dent in their lead. And of course, there is a gulf between No. 2 Alabama and everybody else. The distance between No. 2 and No. 3 is the same as the distance between No. 10 and No. 26. The Bayou Bengals and Crimson Tide are pretty far at the right end of the bell curve.
