Not a lot to go on playing so many cupcakes this week, but beating P4 teams or playing conf. games right now carries weight so LSU, SMU, UVA, got bumps. \r\n\r\nAuburn and Colorado got nods that I would have been hesitant about ranking them as high (or at all before) and maybe they might not still be here after Week 4 if other teams rack up good/better wins or they start looking sloppy, but for now it is what it is and they won good OOC games. Similarly losing to those teams is no huge knock if you played well while everyone is playing Directional FCS teams, so I'm not penalizing a good Louisville team for that game with Ole Miss too harshly, and Boise hung in there with Oregon instead of playing a nobody.\r\n\r\nOhio St, UGA, Miami, ND, Oregon, IU, OU, Texas is all splitting hairs however you wanna rank them, we know they're all good but nobody played anyone important, but ND ransacked a P4 team, so props there and they get the #1 for now. \r\n\r\nI have some questions about all 4 of these - Ole Miss, LSU, SMU, and UVA - but they all beat conference mates or other P4 teams, and mileage can vary on that cluster and their order, but good wins from all of them regardless how good I think they might be end up being by season's end. \r\n\r\nNext tiers I think TTU, BYU, USC are all Top 20 teams but proved nothing... Houston, Bama, Penn State, Auburn, A&M, Tennessee... I'm putting Bama, Houston, PSU ahead here for beating G5 schools instead of 50-0'ing an FCS team, and Auburn winning against another P4 team gets them their spot. They might screw around and lose it next week, but good enough for Week 1. \r\n\r\nWashington & Colorado won a rivalry game and a game on the road against another P4 team, so again, rewarding that. And I'm not kicking Louisville out or not-ranking Boise for losing to Oregon when both teams played pretty well in those games. \r\n\r\nIt's just EARLY and everything is fluid.\r\n", "entries": [ {

The simulated \"win\" goes to Team A if |x| > |y| and Team B if |x| < |y|. If |x| = |y|, we look at second-layer transitive wins: i.e. we look at the number of chains x,x' and y,y' such that Team A > x > x' > Team B and Team B > y > y' > Team A. If |(x,x')| > |(y,y')|, Team A records the simulated \"win\". If |(x,x')| < |(y,y')|, Team B records the simulated \"win\". If |(x,x')| = |(y,y')|, we move onto third-layer transitive wins. We continue this process until either Team A or Team B has recorded a simulated \"win\" or until we've looked up to eighth-layer transitive wins.\r\n\r\n3) We split the ranked teams at the largest adjacent gap between simulated round robin records, preferring the gap whose midpoint is closest to .500 when multiple gaps are equally large. We run steps (1), (2), and (3) within each subset until subsets contain only one team, using the entire season's results at each layer of recursion.\r\n'''\r\n\r\n[Early-season tiebreakers are last

The underlying probability model is an Elo-style logistic curve P[A > B] = 1/(1+10^[(B-A)/400]). The ranking is based only on this season's wins and losses: it does not consider MoV, rosters, previous seasons, conferences and divisions, etc. Every week is counted equally. Lower NCAA divisions are included in the calculations, but this top 25 is filtered to FBS teams. A tie counts as \u00bd W + \u00bd L. For the MLE to converge, I add two fictitious teams, one who has beaten everyone and one who has lost to everyone, then stretch the gap between them to infinity. The teams gather into groups between the two (\"circles of suck\" where each team has transitively beaten the rest), characterized by a Group Score (GS) for each group and relative Team Scores (TS) within each group. Group Scores have the property that no team with a lower GS has beaten a team with a higher GS. For each team in a group, I've listed the computed balance between wins and losses to yield its Team Score within its group. The full ranking can be found at . All data is sourced from CollegeFootballData.com.

Teams gather \"mass\" by playing games (more when they win), to which the Sinkhorn algorithm is applied to find the most optimal way to move each team's mass into each ranking slot. Only FBS vs FBS games considered. Factors of assigning mass are estimated quality of opponent (win record*strength of schedule^3) and point margin (up to 17).
