Submitted: Sept. 17, 2018, 9:33 a.m.
Overall Rationale: 34 Teams remain undefeated. There aren't enough data points to really sort out which of 56 one loss teams have better victories.As a result, here's the top 25 based on their best win so far this season.34 Undefeated:Boston College, Clemson, Duke, North Carolina State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio State, Penn State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, West Virginia, California, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, Washington State, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana State, Mississippi State, Missouri, Central Florida, Cincinnati, South Florida, Louisiana Tech, Marshall, North Texas, Notre Dame, Akron, BuffaloCincinnati and Marshall are undefeated against winless opponents so they're the first 2 to get cut.North Carolina State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Oregon, UCF, North Texas which gets us down to 25 teams.We'll start sorting here.Alabama, LSU, and Notre Dame all have victories over P5 teams which have won all of their other games. So they're your top 3.BC, Clemson, Indiana, Penn State, Ohio State, West Virginia, Cal, Kentucky, Mississippi State, and South Florida all have wins over P5 teams who have won all of their other games. Now we've got 4-13 Sorted by best wins.Duke, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Washington State, Missouri, and Buffalo all have victories of G5s who have won all of their other games. 14-21 to be sorted by best wins.Akron and Louisiana Tech have both beaten teams who are have only lost to undefeated teams. So here's 22 and 23... Northwestern might be better than South Alabama... I have no idea. Akron gets 22, Louisiana Tech gets 23.Iowa's opponent of note is Northern Illinois, and Colorado's is Colorado State... Iowa at 24, CSU at 25.Eat a corndog this week.
