Overall Rationale: I think next year I should tweak the formula a bit to account for early weeks
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Texas Longhorns | (+7) Fuck them brakes. That's all I have to say |
2 | USC Trojans | (0) USC has a defense and that's scary for the rest of the B1G. |
3 | Georgia Bulldogs | (-2) Georgia vs Texas might be #1 vs #2 and I'm all for it |
4 | Penn State Nittany Lions | (0) Yeah I thought so much better of PSU after that WVU win. Didn't watch the game, but don't know what happened here. |
5 | Alabama Crimson Tide | (+2) because MOV is not accounted for. Bama should've dropped down. |
6 | Oregon Ducks | (+9) Model thinks Boise State was #14 coming in so Oregon was very rewarded. But if I human polled it, Oregon should not be a top 15 team. |
7 | Tennessee Volunteers | (+16) Wow. Tennessee is here to play |
8 | Syracuse Orange | (+40) GT may've been a wee bit overrated. Model doesn't realize that tho. For real though, great win for Syracuse. |
9 | South Carolina Gamecocks | (+26) Emphatic win over a top 25 Kentucky, according to the algorithm. |
10 | Michigan Wolverines | (-4) Losing to the #1 team (according to the algorithm) isn't that bad. Michigan can still have a solid season, I think, but they need a QB identity. |
11 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | (-8) LOOL. Model assumes that NIU is just really good other than ND is overrated, so only went down 8 spots. I expect this number to continue going down though. Also NIU missed rankings by 1 spot :( |
12 | Miami Hurricanes | (-7) |
13 | Clemson Tigers | (+17) Bounceback win over App State, but surprised just how much they increased in rank. |
14 | Iowa State Cyclones | (+23) Huge win in El Assico. Didn't think they could do it. |
15 | Ohio State Buckeyes | (-6) Here due to playing weak competition. OSU looks pretty good. |
16 | Utah Utes | (+3) |
17 | Kansas State Wildcats | (+8) Good win over Tulane, which can be assumed at this point to be a solid G5 team at worst. |
18 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | (+8) Early season Gundy couldn't stop the Pokes from winning |
19 | North Carolina Tar Heels | (-9) |
20 | Michigan State Spartans | (+30) Nice win over UMD on the road, which is more than most teams can say they did. |
21 | Ole Miss Rebels | (-3) |
22 | Duke Blue Devils | (+33) Model was high on Northwestern (#29 coming into the week) |
23 | Oklahoma Sooners | (-10) lol. |
24 | Nebraska Cornhuskers | (0) Model is not high on Colorado |
25 | Missouri Tigers | (-4) |
