Alabama loses luster in Westgate college football ratings

The Crimson Tide lost three points on their rating, falling from 108.5 to 105.5, after surviving for a 20-14 victory over Louisiana State on Saturday. Alabama is still No. 2 in the ratings by three points over Ohio State.

Georgia held steady at 109.5 after a 43-6 victory over Missouri and would now be favored by four points over Alabama on a neutral field by the Westgate. The Bulldogs would be favored by 2½ over Alabama by ESPN FPI and by 3 by Jeff Sagarin.

Here are the Westgate’s power ratings of all 130 Football Bowl Subdivision teams, from No. 1 Georgia to No. 130 Massachusetts:
