interesting rankings. I would have guessed 5 turnovers would be a bad thing in terms of statistical results.

The NCAA.com Power Rankings are based solely on team statistics. Unlike traditional polls that allow individuals to subjectively rank the "best" teams in their opinion, these rankings are simply based on current stats for both offense and defense, taking into account teamsā ability to produce positive results on both ends of the field.
A strength-of-schedule factor is also included to reward teams that play more BCS opponents. The same SOS factor carries across the whole season for a team, meaning the weekly shift in ranking is accounted for completely by that weekās statistics.
