Ballot Type: Computer
Submitted: Oct. 2, 2022, 11:30 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Likelihood of record based metric that tends to reward overachievers and punish underachievers. More volatile earlier in the season
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Alabama Crimson Tide | +3 Rolling |
2 | Michigan Wolverines | +4 |
3 | TCU Horned Frogs | +6 |
4 | Kansas Jayhawks | -2 for Quality Win, getting a taste of too much success to early |
5 | Maryland Terrapins | +3 |
6 | Clemson Tigers | +10 |
7 | Ole Miss Rebels | NEW |
8 | Penn State Nittany Lions | +6 |
9 | Wake Forest Demon Deacons | NEW |
10 | UCLA Bruins | +12 |
11 | Ohio State Buckeyes | = |
12 | Oregon Ducks | = |
13 | Syracuse Orange | -3 |
14 | Florida State Seminoles | -13 |
15 | LSU Tigers | +5 |
16 | Mississippi State Bulldogs | NEW |
17 | Georgia Bulldogs | +7 Maybe the computer thinks Georgia lost that Missouri game. Even if that were the case, it's odd that they are ranked so low given that Oregon is ahead of them right now in the metric. They could have fallen into the trap of beating Oregon by so much it was like a fluke in the computer's eyes. |
18 | Tennessee Volunteers | -13 BYE is tough. Computer doesn't like the Vols as much as teams that played games and won them this past weekend. The differences between games played for teams will average out by season's end. |
19 | USC Trojans | -12 |
20 | James Madison Dukes | -7 |
21 | Kansas State Wildcats | NEW |
22 | NC State Wolfpack | -7 |
23 | Coastal Carolina Chanticleers | NEW |
24 | Indiana Hoosiers | -21 Computer is wondering why they were so highly ranked the previous week. I am too. Might have something to do with western kentucky. |
25 | Troy Trojans | NEW Hilltoppers boosting Trojans |
