Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Nov. 23, 2021, 1:01 a.m.
Overall Rationale: Caveat: These are technically provisional rankings because ESPN did something stupid to break their API again, and there were some decidedly odd results this week.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
The computer rankings "randomly" decided to move Division II Harding up from #131 (still top of D2, but...) to #23 (gaining about 16 points) this week based on a 16 point win over an unranked team in the first round of the D2 playoffs. Coincidentally, the Great American Conference doesn't play any non-conference games. I'm sure anyone familiar with SRS can see the problem. |
| 2 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
(For some godforsaken reason Harding only gained 7.78 points in actual SRS, so my "tweaks" managed to make that problem even worse...) |
