For now, though, this is a fun exercise. \r\n\r\nHonestly, I had a really tough time ranking the last few spots, as I'm not sure anybody deserves them. Here are my thoughts:\r\nWith Oklahoma and Oregon having lost this weekend, they're both 1-1 but I'm not entirely sure they're the type of 1-1 that deserves being ranked, like Louisville does, for example.\r\n\r\nIf Oregon is also not as good as we were expecting, this could devalue both OSU's win and Boise's close loss in Eugene. \r\n\r\nIt's also important to remember that OSU lost on the road to Tulsa, so they're not 2-0 but are, in fact, 1-1, and I'm not sure they're the type of 1-1 that deserves ranking either. \r\n\r\nMichigan struggled heavily in week 1 and, although they had a good defensive performance over Oklahoma, their offense still looks sorely lacking. \r\n\r\nI also don't think Florida is entirely deserving of a top-25 spot either, although they may be depending on their performance next week against Auburn. \r\n\r\nWashington has also been struggling this year; I know I wrote last week that they had a good win, but, upon review, they did struggle somewhat, and they struggled again this week. \r\n\r\nMiss St are 2-0 with a convincing win over Minnesota, but that doesn't yet mean that Miss State is deserving of the spot either. \r\n\r\nAll this to say, take the last few spots (22 - 25) with a grain of salt and more data is needed.

The 4th quarter wasn't a very good show of it, and Texas also helped to dig their own graves during the first half, but this defense is really good and kept things running strong until they were, by the 4th quarter, absolutely gassed.

Ryan Day is what he is, but it was a 1 point loss on the road featuring a miraculous comeback and I'm not holding that against OSU too harshly. \r\n\r\nB - 7 to about 12 I think you can cut in any fashion. \r\n\r\nC - 12 - 21 are all teams I still have questions about, but good wins, I'm bigger on rewarding good wins and I'm coming around on Mizzou and Iowa.\r\n\r\nD - Oklahoma might be in trouble, but I know there's talent on that squad and a road loss at Michigan is more of a bad loss for them than a good win for Michigan. A&M just haven't done anything against anyone good yet. Auburn may not be long for this spot, Miss State going on the road and winning by 3 touchdowns at a P4 place gets rewarded.

The simulated \"win\" goes to Team A if |x| > |y| and Team B if |x| < |y|.

W/L results in the current season (a maximum-likelihood estimate), balancing the strength of each team's best wins against its worst losses. 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 graph of 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. NOTE: Since the /r/CFB Poll does not allow ties, I've used the previous season's final rankings as an arbitrary tiebreaker, but this is not a part of the model.", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": {
