Their offense has not been entirely clicking and needs to become more cohesive. RB play wasn't great, with Texas only having 61 yards rushing, and it looked like Smothers was sorely missed. While Arch did have 200 yards passing this game, he threw for no touchdowns and an interception. An interception and 7 punts is not going to be enough to win it all. That being said, Texas is a contender for the best defense in the nation. Will Muschamp has those boys playing some lights out defensive football. TEN SACKS. This defense will allow the offense to find itself and, if last year is any indication, Texas likely will find itself. After wins over OSU at home and Tennessee in Knoxville, Texas does combine for the two best wins in the nation, leaving them in first place, but they need to become more consistent on offense if they want to stay there.

Georgia's defense did well to help create these opportunities, but a lot of it also comes down to the ineptitude of Oklahoma's offense. In the second half, UGA had a bit more trouble scoring, only putting up 13 points, and I don't think this can be attributed entirely to taking their foot off the gas as the Oklahoma defense did come away with both an interception and a fumble recovery, indicating that they were playing better in the second half than the first. That being said, UGA was able to get some good chunk plays in the first half and moved the ball well. UGA seems to be firing on all cylinders though, with 2 conference wins under their belt. I have moved UGA up from 4 to 3 this week, but they really have only played bottom tier SEC teams, so this could change back after other teams start to get into the bulk of their schedules.

That being said, OSU put BTA against a conference opponent, with Jeremiah Smith tying OSU's record with 4 TD catches. Other than the Texas away loss, though, I'm not certain OSU's other games are enough to keep it above UGA, so I'm going to move OSU down from 3 to 4.

They really don't have an adequate test on their schedule until they play AT BYU on October 17th, so I'm inclined to keep them at 5th for now, barring any other teams having some good results and moving up. That being said, ND is doing what it needs to do - putting BTA against its opponents - to stay where they are, it's just a matter of time before we see how they actually stack up against higher tier competition.

I doubted that Indiana would have too much trouble beating Northwestern. I have actually enjoyed what I've seen from Northwestern this year and thing they might be a good team (lowercase g), and Indiana was, despite being ahead the entire game, unable to shake them off and break free, with NW's offense playing pretty well and the whole team playing well in the 2nd half. This is not last year's Indiana team - Hoover is not Mendoza - but they're still good. The running game did end up with 271 yards, and the passing game with 200 yards, but I think it's still arguable that the offense isn't entirely clicking yet. Turbo Richard's injury doesn't seem to be long term, which is good, because - while I don't think Lee Beebe Jr. played poorly (as evidenced by his 203 yards on 24 carries) - Turbo Richard seems to be exactly that, a fast back who I believe probably would have taken some of those breaks that Beebe Jr. had to the house. Where Beebe Jr. had 40 and 70 yard runs that took Indiana within the NW 10 yard line, Turbo has the top-end speed to take those home. Curious to see how Indiana (and Beebe Jr.) adapt to Turbo being out. But, luckily, Indiana has two very winnable games in Rutgers and Nebraska coming up, before they host OSU on October 17th.

Alabama had some efficient running from EJ Crowell and 5 receptions from Ryan Coleman-Williams for 98 yards and 2 TDs.

I was there, the Swamp was loud and proud, and, once again, Ole Miss leaves the Swamp disappointed. Not only is Jaden Baugh the guy (for Heisman) and looking unstoppable, Duke Clark also put in a fantastic showing at running back, breaking off some huge plays and gaining 126 yards on 12 carries, including a 45 yard touchdown run. Florida's offensive line has been phenomenal lately, allowing Aaron Philo to stay protected and deal the ball to his outstanding wide receiver core (arguably best overall core in the SEC, even if they are not, individually, the top WRs). Almost 200 yards on the day for him, with a passing touchdown. UF maintained the lead the entire game, going up 17-3 early (17-6 at the half), taking Ole Miss's shots to fight their way back into the game (Ole Miss fought back to only be down 3 in the 3rd, getting as close as 24-21), and subsequently put them away. Jon Sumrall's Florida has been flying offensively, scoring over 50 points in 3 of his first 4 games. Currently mentally struggling to wrap my head around the idea that UF might be Good again (upper case G), as the last few years had taught me not to hope.

Chambliss is still an outstanding college QB, but both offense and defense pulled up short. Going into the game, the concern was the defense, and people were unsure if UF would be able to keep up in a shootout, but the shootout didn't quite materialize.

Don't get me wrong, it's good for LSU that they won, obviously, I'm just not sure yet if TAMU has collapsed and is like a 6-6 team or if they'll still end up being like 8-4 or something. They very much have 4 winnable games on the schedule in Arky, Citadel, SCAR, and Oklahoma, not to mention I think they certainly have a shot at Mizzou, but we have to see how things go. Now, back to LSU. Last week, I started to question why all this money went to Sam Leavitt to play QB when it seems like his first instinct is to tuck it and run rather than to throw, and I know I'm not the only one who had that feeling. Leavitt seems to have heard us and threw for over 300 yards on Saturday, ending up 17/23, with two TDs and one INT. It's kind of funny because I believe his staying in the pocket was necessitated by a small leg injury that impacted his mobility, but it looks like he might actually be willing to sling it and they're gonna need that from him. Jackson Harris looked great out there as well, with over 160 yards on only 6 receptions and for two TDs. This kind of passing game is what LSU needed to put together, especially after last week, and they will need to continue this passing game trend in order to really be competitive against teams like Alabama Texas, and even Tennessee, Miss State, and Kentucky who show up on their list of future opponents. While they play McNeese State this weekend, they play @ Kentucky in two weeks and, while I feel like we're still sussing out how good Kentucky is, they look to be trending in a positive direction, so I won't claim that to be an easy win for LSU.

They look good on offense, but have some defensive issues to sort out, and I think they may, low key, be a good (lower case g) team. They have a chance to prove how good this weekend when they host Alabama, and they will likely lose. But that doesn't mean they can't enjoy being highly ranked for a bit, assuming they do lose. Now, onto the actual game.\r\n\r\nKemario Taylor had an absolute day out there, 27/38, 360 yards, 3TDs, 1INT. Fluff Bothwell had 25 carries for 122 yards and 1TD. Overall, almost 500 yards of total offense. The Bulldogs went up two touchdowns in the 1st, only for Mizzou to battle back to take the lead in by the end of the 3rd, 24-17. Mississippi State then scored two touchdowns in the 4th quarter, winning 31-24. Kemario Taylor is getting some Heisman hype and I think the attention is well-deserved. He's just one of those players that you enjoy seeing out there slinging it. This is Miss St's first ranked win as a ranked team since 2014, and it does feel like this program is trending in the right direction. Last year's team probably would have lost this game, especially after Mizzou took the lead. The one, two punch of Kemario and Fluff is exciting to watch. I'm pretty sure Miss State also had 3 or so dropped INTs, which means that the defense could have potentially put up a much better performance. That being said, I wasn't excited by some of the decision making of the coaches in this game, as it seemed like Miss St tried to sit on their lead at the end, which led to them punting the ball back to Mizzou to give them a chance to tie the game. However, if the Bulldogs can pull that all together, they will graduate from a plucky, good little football team to a real force to be reckoned with. Two-thirds of the season left to try and make that happen, and Alabama is a huge team to make it happen against.

That is not to say that Iowa didn't do what it took to win, because they did win it on the last play of the game, and they did it off of a great back-shoulder throw over a very good DB in Smith Snowden. They also managed to drive 75 yards in 7 plays to score at the beginning of the 4th. That being said, their first TD came off of a kickoff return, so it's not like their offense was super productive. The offense did not score until the 4th, and then there was a field goal attempt with a little over 2:30 left in the 4th despite being down 5 points? I guess the thought process was centered around getting two FGs to win it, but the kick went wide-right from 51 yards, forcing them to have to force a 3 & Out and then drive. Still, this is a game they probably would not have won in this fashion - driving to win it against Michigan on the road - in previous years, and it certainly looked to be an emotional win coach Ferentz. I have elected not to improve Iowa's rank from last week to this week, as I feel like they did the bare minimum here to not be moved down - they won against a team they were ranked higher than (in the AP Poll by 1 rank, in my poll last week it was 15 vs 24 - I'm not that high on Michigan).

GA Southern managed to tie it up at 14 midway through Q2, but Houston pulled away again before half by going up 28-14, and then even further by going up 35-14 in Q3. As a result, while it got a tad scary, Houston was not in much trouble in this game, but I would like to see a better defensive performance from them going forward. Conner Weigman looked good again, going 17/22 for 4TDs and 240 yards. The Houston O-Line stood pretty strong and managed to prevent any sacks or TFLs, as well as assist in over 200 yards rushing, with Re'Shaun Sanford II going 120 yards on 17 carries. I did not want to necessarily move Houston up from last week (I had them ranked 17th), but they really moved up due to others in front of them moving down. Houston does have some interesting games a few weeks out, with OKST, Utah, and WVU on the schedule, but their next couple games are against UCF and Kansas St, and I think Houston should be able to keep things rolling through those games.

However, Tennessee's defense and special teams played well, including a punt return for a TD, Tennessee's defense gave up less than 300 yards, and really only gave up a few chunk plays of decent yardage in the air, and no run plays that went for more than 11 yards. Then special teams got the onside kick (although there is an argument for it having been a violation), only for it to be wasted on the final offensive drive. The Vols will really need to improve their O-Line play and have their QB settle down a bit to have a shot at anything big this season, but that defense played well and could be a big factor to keeping them in games.

This was, all things considered, a very good game from OKST over what I consider to be a WVU team that is currently somewhere between decent and good. OKST got ahead and slammed the door behind them, which is what you want to see out of your program. With two notable wins, combined with other teams moving down or out, I have decided to move OKST into the top 25 - and what a jump they made - at number 18. The Tulsa blunder is still a blunder, but OKST is trending in the correct direction and now has more data for me to be able to really start forming an opinion about them.

Oregon's close win at home over Boise looked good (but not great) for Oregon at the time, but then the loss to OKST drew both Oregon AND Boise into question as, although I try not to base rankings off of the previous year's team as much as I can, that team went 1-11 last year and it was hard to imagine such a drastic change in fortune. All that being said, all 3 of OKST, Oregon, and Boise have looked good since their respective losses, giving me a clearer idea of what to do with them for now. With that being said, let's talk about the game:\r\n\r\nOregon's starting QB, Dante Moore, went down early due to a play that was called targeting as he was hit during a slide, and even had to leave to go to the hospital, so praying for a speedy recovery for him. Football is a dangerous game and, realistically, these things happen, so it is how you respond to these events that can really make a team, and boy did Oregon respond. Backup QB Dylan Raiola went in, having transferred from Nebraska, and had a game with a consistency I don't think I had ever seen from him while he was with the Cornhuskers. Raiola went 19/25 for 289 yards and 2TD in Oregon's 41-27 win over USC. Tight End Jamari Johnson tallied 7 receptions for 119 yards, leaving the game as Oregon's top receiver on the day (prior to this game, Johnson had 4 receptions for like 57 yards, so this was a big breakout game for him, and possibly highlights how the Moore and Raiola tenures as starting QB may differ going forward). Overall, Oregon totaled 366 passing yards on the day. Oregon did have two RBs with over 60 yards each, Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr., tallying 16 carries/1TD and 15 carries/2TDs, respectively. While Oregon's offense didn't really come alive until midway through the second quarter (affected by the Moore injury no doubt), once they scored their first TD, they never really looked back as they managed to score on every drive but 1 after that. While the game was tied 10-10 midway through Q2, Oregon went up 13-10 at half, scored again right after to make it 20-10 early in the 3rd with a 4 play/75 yard/2 min drive, and then USC was basically playing catch up from then on out. USC did tie it at one point, early in Q4, at 27 a piece, but Oregon pulled ahead by 14 points after that and sealed the game. \r\n\r\nI had kept USC at about 14/15 for the last few weeks, but they had started to show defensive issues that were finally exploited in Saturday's game. While it may seem harsh that I dropped USC down so far after losing to Oregon (and moved Oregon from Unranked to #19), I have considered dropping them in the past but, due to their winning (even if the margins were slim) I was unsure of what to do with them. Now that the dam has broken and the have finally lost against their first real piece of competition, USC will have to worm its way back into the rankings by improving their team's play. \r\n\r\nAs for Oregon, as mentioned in my OKST write up, I had been unsure of what to do with this team given the OKST loss as I was currently unsure of what to do with OKST. Now that OKST, Oregon, and Boise have been able to show some consistency, I'm more inclined to rank them all.

I have been reluctant to rank Boise until I knew what to do with OKST and Oregon and, while the South Dakota game raises an eyebrow, I do think Boise has shown consistency and currently is the G6 front runner.

Quicksort):\r\n\r\n1) Construct a simulated round robin amongst all FBS teams\r\n\r\n2) For each simulated \"game\", if Team A has beaten Team B more times than Team B has beaten Team A, Team A records a simulated \"win\" and Team B records a simulated \"loss\". If Team A has not played Team B or they have played twice and split their games, we look at first-layer transitive wins: i.e. we look at the number of teams x such that Team A has beaten x where x has beaten Team B and we look at the number of teams y such that Team B has beaten y where y has beaten Team A. 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.

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": {

#1 with a tough road win over my Vols.\ud83d\ude2d Despite their best efforts to lose, I have to give them props for winning at the mighty Neyland. Georgia looks incredible and is a very close 2nd.\r\n\r\n3-5 are very close to me. I leave them the same order as last week as Notre Dame has stomped all their opponents (despite not playin' nobody Pawl, although the Badgers might now have something to say about that.) Ohio State looks solid with their only loss close/on the road/@#1 with Miami behind them as we've seen some struggles from the Canes.\r\n\r\nBama finally truly proved themselves to me, Florida jumps ALL the way up to 7 because everyone below them either has a loss or hasn't fully proven themselves yet, but Florida is very susceptible to change a lot for right now. Indiana survived and Utah still looks decent (and close to BYU still) to me.\r\n\r\nHard for me to drop Ole Miss too much but they're loss pushes them back to #11 and LSU to #12, despite the Tigers dominating A&M (because I think TAMU was never all that good to begin with going into this week).\r\n\r\nMy Vols \ud83d\udc80 and Tech stay put as I think they both looked to be exactly their rankings based on their respective matchups.\r\n\r\nIowa moves up with a tough last-second road win, despite the team they beat being unranked. The Cowbell People get another boost after a hard fought ranked victory (congrats to them honestly).\r\n\r\nUCLA and Duke destroyed their oppenents so jump up a good bit, Missouri and Houston essentially switch spots despite opposite results because of HOW they both looked, and Nebraska sneaks in between them after a road Spartan beat down.\r\n\r\nJMU finally joins, Va Tech drops a bit, OKSU finally joins too, followed by Oregon joining back for the first time since Week 2.\r\n\r\n-\r\n\r\nLouisville, Penn State, and USC drop out after all losing to unranked opponents at home, but all stay in the top-35. And I'll admit I was wrong about Kansas State \ud83d\ude44\r\n\r\nI will NOT admit I was wrong about having yet to rank both Michigan and SMU BECAUSE THEY KEEP PROVING ME RIGHT WITH POOR PERFORMANCES AND NO GOOD WINS.\r\n\r\nI do think it's important note that Boise State moved up a bit despite not making my top-35 as they could quickly be my top G6 team.\r\n\r\nAnd finally WE'RE SO CLOSE TO RANKED UMASS I REALLY HOPE THEY CAN DO IT!!!", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 22, "handle": "texas", "name": "Texas Longhorns" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 2, "team": { "id": 55, "handle": "georgia", "name": "Georgia Bulldogs" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 3, "team": { "id": 67, "handle": "notredame", "name": "Notre Dame Fighting Irish" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 4, "team": { "id": 34, "handle": "ohiostate", "name": "Ohio State Buckeyes" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 5, "team": { "id": 7, "handle": "miami", "name": "Miami Hurricanes" }, "rationale": "+1" }, { "rank": 6, "team": { "id": 51, "handle": "alabama", "name": "Alabama Crimson Tide" }, "rationale": "+5" }, { "rank": 7, "team": { "id": 54, "handle": "florida", "name": "Florida Gators" }, "rationale": "+13" }, { "rank": 8, "team": { "id": 26, "handle": "indiana", "name": "Indiana Hoosiers" }, "rationale": "-1" }, { "rank": 9, "team": { "id": 48, "handle": "utah", "name": "Utah Utes" }, "rationale": "-1" }, { "rank": 10, "team": { "id": 66, "handle": "byu", "name": "BYU Cougars" }, "rationale": "-1" }, { "rank": 11, "team": { "id": 60, "handle": "olemiss", "name": "Ole Miss Rebels" }, "rationale": "-6" }, { "rank": 12, "team": { "id": 57, "handle": "lsu", "name": "LSU Tigers" }, "rationale": "-2" }, { "rank": 13, "team": { "id": 62, "handle": "tennessee", "name": "Tennessee Volunteers" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 14, "team": { "id": 23, "handle": "texastech", "name": "Texas Tech Red Raiders" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 15, "team": { "id": 27, "handle": "iowa", "name": "Iowa Hawkeyes" }, "rationale": "+1" }, { "rank": 16, "team": { "id": 58, "handle": "mississippistate", "name": "Mississippi State Bulldogs" }, "rationale": "+3" }, { "rank": 17, "team": { "id": 46, "handle": "ucla", "name": "UCLA Bruins" }, "rationale": "+8" }, { "rank": 18, "team": { "id": 3, "handle": "duke", "name": "Duke Blue Devils" }, "rationale": "+6" }, { "rank": 19, "team": { "id": 59, "handle": "missouri", "name": "Missouri Tigers" }, "rationale": "+3" }, { "rank": 20, "team": { "id": 32, "handle": "nebraska", "name": "Nebraska Cornhuskers" }, "rationale": "+15 (NR)" }, { "rank": 21, "team": { "id": 73, "handle": "houston", "name": "Houston Cougars" }, "rationale": "-3" }, { "rank": 22, "team": { "id": 153, "handle": "jamesmadison", "name": "James Madison Dukes" }, "rationale": "+6 (NR)" }, { "rank": 23, "team": { "id": 13, "handle": "virginiatech", "name": "Virginia Tech Hokies" }, "rationale": "-2" }, { "rank": 24, "team": { "id": 20, "handle": "oklahomastate", "name": "Oklahoma State Cowboys" }, "rationale": "+16 (NR)" }, { "rank": 25, "team": { "id": 43, "handle": "oregon", "name": "Oregon Ducks" }, "rationale": "+16 (NR)\r\n\r\n-\r\n\r\n26.

Wins are wins and beating UCF and Syracuse are wins over P4 teams... but I don't think those are good P4 teams. So 4-0 is 4-0 and I can't take that away, I can't put them in over Houston who looked good vs. Texas Tech.\r\nWest Virginia - West Virginia looks good! Close game with Oklahoma State, great win over Virginia. They're feisty. Not higher though because their loss is worse than Houston's, and Pitt is undefeated and has decent wins.\r\nVirginia - Loss to WVU is rough but they still look good. The Delaware and NC State wins were dominant and I think both of those teams are of a similar quality (solid).\r\nMichigan - I am counting them as 1 loss, though I should call them 2 loss. Great half team here and the Oklahoma win is more impressive than most of the wins below this. And their loss to Iowa was as close as close gets. Not higher because they don't deserve it.\r\nMissouri - Kansas isn't great, they played Troy close and I don't think Troy is very good. But they played a very good Mississippi State team close on the road. Missouri is a good team. But I need it proven with a good win for me to boost them.\r\nCincinnati - I went to Cincy vs. K State! What a great time! Cincinnati's Miami (OH) first half is still haunting. I don't care if they are 4-0, I don't care I live in Cincinnati now and I root for this team. I don't trust these guys at all.\r\nJames Madison - They should go 12-0. They're only not higher because I did not like how they played Liberty, but JMU is very good.\r\nBoise State - I wanted Western Michigan to win very bad but Boise State is probably the best G5 team.\r\nKentucky - A&M win looks worse now. And they struggled a bit this week with South Alabama.\r\nUSC - That resume sucks. Fresno State win is good but everything else stinks." } ] } ] }
