• Analysis

Rank	Team	Reason
1	Texas A&M Aggies	Undefeated, but would not be my number one after barely beating SCar.
2	Ohio State Buckeyes	Undefeated.
3	Texas Tech Red Raiders	Somehow the model like them more than Indiana. Not bad record though.
4	Indiana Hoosiers	Undefeated.
5	Miami Hurricanes	Beat the team that is the rest of the ACC's kryptonite and you get this.
6	Connecticut Huskies	Undefeated*
7	Georgia Bulldogs	Convincing showing against Texas.
8	Oregon Ducks	Riding the Iowa high.
9	James Madison Dukes	Strong.
10	BYU Cougars	Dominance.
11	Utah Utes	Dominance.
12	Ole Miss Rebels	No notes.
13	Oklahoma Sooners	Good win.
14	Tulane Green Wave	Don't understand how they lost to UTSA.
15	Notre Dame Fighting Irish	Nice win against shit.
16	Texas Longhorns	Still don't like them here as a two tie, two loss team but eh. Get them out of there Aggies!
17	USC Trojans	Good win.
18	Alabama Crimson Tide	Mid loss.
19	ECU Pirates	Probably a little overrated, but solid win against Memphis.
20	Pittsburgh Panthers	AFK.
21	Tennessee Volunteers	Overrated, but basically everyone here is a fraud too.
22	Michigan Wolverines	Not convincing. Hope they beat Ohio State anyway.
23	Washington Huskies	The Wisconsin loss should really punish them more.
24	Virginia Cavaliers	Two loss, three tie team confuses the shit out of the model.
25	Vanderbilt Commodores	Probably underrated. Tie with Auburn keeps them low. Omissions of note: UNT and Georgia Tech. UNT I don't understand at all, though this might be a bug in UNT's report. Not too badly placed anyway. Georgia Tech is despised by my model for the NCSU loss, and a near loss to Boston College, simply confirmed to my model they are frauds of the highest order... maybe one day the King will be respected but not yet. Also of note: Navy, UNLV, SDSU and Houston, but these should all be self explicable.
