2011-2012 Final Rankings

Congratulations to the 2011-2012 Chaos Rankings National Champions: The Alabama Crimson Tide. They are the first 2-time champion in the 7 year history of Chaos Rankings. This was also the narrowest margin not just between #1 and #2 but between the entire top 3, being separated only by about 0.0065 points. In fact the gap between 1 and 5 was one of the smallest we've ever had, coming close to the game between 1 and 2 in some previous years. Tonight's game may have been incredibly one-sided and mind-numbingly dull, but on the whole, it's been a terrific season and there were some great bowl matchups. Hate to end the year on a sour note, but at least we have a lot of great memories to look back on while we endure the next ~8 college football-less months.
