The problem though is that Utah beating Florida was one of the better non-conference wins that the PAC12 had in total. The other two were Oregon in a late rally over Texas Tech and WSU over Wisconsin. So Washington at #5 might be kind.

[Tell It Right]

I'm putting Washington at #5 because they did play 3 games against teams that were ranked in the final rankings (Oregon, Oregon St, and Oregon again). I'm not counting Washington playing then ranked Utah because, as you point out, Utah's ranking at the time is now shown to be a bunch of hooey.

But I'm having trouble finding more teams that played more than 3 games against final ranked teams.

Bama really impresses me with their 5 games against ranked teams (losing only 1, by 10 points to Texas).
