{ "poll": { "id": 253, "year": 2026, "week": "Week 7", "voter_type": "main" }, "ballots": [ { "id": 76566, "username": "0010MK", "ballot_type": "Computer", "submission_date": "2026-10-11T17:54:47.149956+00:00", "overall_rationale": "\"The most important thing to understand about my rating algorithm is what it is telling you. My ratings are a measure of what each team has presently accomplished. It is not meant to be a true predictive tool. For example, Team A might have a higher rating than Team B, but that could be due to that fact that Team A had the opportunity to play (and beat) higher quality opponents to date. That does not mean Team A is definitively better than Team B. According to my ratings, I'm stating that Team A has accomplished more thus far than Team B. However, understanding what a team has accomplished can give you insight on which teams are objectively superior to others.\r\n\r\nMy ratings are an objective measure of which teams have accomplished the most given their results against their opponents. This is very relevant because it is perhaps the first criteria people consider when debating who is the #1 team (or, which teams are the Top 12...), and I will argue, the most important. Sure, you can look at stats, or \"\"eye\"\" tests. But if you are not factoring in the competition in an unbiased method, you are missing information to inform your rankings. My ratings do provide a quantitative measure of just that.\r\n\r\nMy ratings factor in every football game played in Div-IA, Div-IAA, Div-II, and Div-III. This is necessary even if you only care about the Top 25 teams in Div-IA. Why? Well, Top 25 teams play Div-IAA teams (or at least, their opponents do). Div-IAA teams play Div-II teams. Div-II teams play Div-III teams. In order to adjust Team A's rating after a game is played against Team B, I have to know the ratings of Team B. And to calculate the ratings of Team B, I need to know the ratings of all the teams that Team B has played. And to calculate the ratings of all the teams that Team B has played, I need to know the ratings of all of teams that have played the teams that Team B has played. Etc... In summary, a rating system must be comprehensive; otherwise, you will introduce error or uncertainty into the system.\r\n\r\nAnother aspect of my rating system that makes it unique is that fact that I iterate to converge my ratings. At the beginning of the season, all teams begin with a common rating. However, the disparity of talent in college football requires an iteration process. Applying an iterative scheme to the rating system allows learning of each team later in the season to be applied to early season results. With the sheer number of teams and the vast disparity of talent, I believe this is a necessary step for accurate results. I believe this also set my ratings apart from many other \"\"computer\"\" rankings.\r\n\r\nAn example will illustrate why this is important. Two teams playing each other very early in the season will be similarly rated. Therefore, the results will be calculated as win/loss of a similarly rated opponent, and the ratings would be adjusted. However, as the season plays out, we might learn that these two teams are anything but closely rated. The rating boost that Team A received by beating, what we thought (at the time) was a similarly rated Team B, turned out to be too much. An iterative process uses the learning from later in the season and applies it to the beginning of the season to appropriately reward or penalize teams for every result. As you might imagine, each iteration results in a change in a team's rating. So, the process is repeated until the maximum change of any team less than 1% of the previous iteration results.\r\n\r\nThis can also lead to a team's rating changing during a bye week! Yes, learning from their opponents' results (and their opponents' result, and their opponents' results, etc...) will influence each team's ratings. This effect is also present during weeks in which the team is not on a bye, however, its impacts are a second order effect relative to the rating adjustment calculated from their win/loss/tie and therefore not obvious.\r\n\r\nSpeaking of opponents and opponent's opponents... there are two metrics that are often discussed when comparing teams' schedules. Strength of Schedule (SoS) is a metric that measures the quality of opponents a team has played. Strength of Record (SoR) is a metric that relates a team's record against its opponents relative to how a typical team (Average Top 25 team for NCAAF, average team for NFL) would perform against that same schedule. You will notice that I post SoS and SoR rankings. It is important to note, however, that SoS and SoR are not inputs in my calculations. SoS and SoR are outputs, meaning that I calculate these value after I've calculated every teams rankings.\r\n\r\nIn short, my ratings are an objective and quantitative measure of what each team has accomplished. No BS, no bias, no preconceived notions on which teams or conferences are best. Just results and math. Is it a perfect rating system? No. It does not factor in injuries, weather, crowd atmosphere, etc. However, in a sport in which there are over 700 teams and only 12-14 games played, an objective measure of what each team has accomplished (e.g., my ratings) must be primarily considered and factored in to how they have looked doing it (the human subjectivity element) to truly rank teams. As the season matures, you can (and should) use this as a tool along with what you see one the field to formulate your Top 25.\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n", "entries": [ {

"username": "AJ_CC", "ballot_type": "Human", "submission_date": "2026-10-12T17:34:24.952832+00:00", "overall_rationale": "Tough week, I did a bit of a step by step rerank, because I feel like we're at the point in the season where I need to throw out some pre-conceived biases from the pre-season. \r\n\r\nGeorgia, Indiana, Texas Tech. I found Georgia and Indiana's road wins this week to be extremely similar leading to me doing a bit of a straight up resume comparison between for the number 1 spot. But in that process I realized that those wins reminded me of Texas Tech's win over Houston, and I started comparing all three teams to each other. I strive to rank teams based off of what I think they've accomplish/performed, less so what I think they'll do in the future. Did my biases put Georgia and Indiana in a different tier, or was that something they earned on the field? On a closer look I felt like I had more similar resume between these 3 teams than I original thought and all three of them had better wins than other undefeated team so they became my 1,2,3. \r\n\r\nMiami, BYU, Notre Dame: I feel like some teams have benefited from wins over schools that we thought were good but didn't actually end up being good, but these teams have wins over schools that we thought were bad that actually starting to look pretty impressive. Still not entirely sold on Wisconsin, but have been very impressed by Wake Forrest's recent results and Arizona's as well and that's enough to give Miami and BYU just a very slight edge over Notre Dame, though this is honestly a coin flip for me between all three teams. That Notre Dame-BYU game will give the winner I think that big resume win that Georgia, Indiana and Tech have at the moment though. \r\n\r\nTexas, Alabama, Ohio State. That OU loss was a mess, but I still think Texas has the best win in the country of any team with their victory over Ohio State. Ultimately I put just more value in Alabama's blowout win over Mississippi State and Kentucky than Ohio State's blowout win over Iowa. Two more teams that I think are basically a coin flip at this point. \r\n\r\nUCLA, Utah. Our last 2 P4 undefeates both look very strong but don't quite have that signature win. While UCLA's win over Oregon could arguably put them in that second tier, it's loses a little luster as a result of Oregon playing their backup QB, and I ultimately just preferred BYU's total body of work. \r\n\r\nNebraska, Houston, OK State, USC-So this is where re-ranks start getting weird if you look at my poll last week. I know the joke about the quality loss, but after looking at their resumeI think this is where my preconceived notions around Nebraska kind of had them a few spots lower than they probably should've been heading into last week. They could be in that slightly higher 1 loss tier, but just need kind of that signature win that the other 3 have. Similar deal with Houston who on reflection I feel look stronger than I originally thought. Mestmaker is looking like perhaps the best QB in the country at the moment, and OK State has the best win of this group, but by far the ugliest loss. Even if they look improved that's an albatross, but they still beat a Dante Moore led Oregon team that USC lost to, so they get the benefit of that data point comparison to be above the Trojans.\r\n\r\nNorthwestern, Arizona, Wake Forrest, Mississippi State, Missouri-these are 4 schools that I think kind of played into and against my preconceived notions in previous rankings. I thought Florida was good, which made Missouri's blow to win over them impressive, and Mississippi State's victory over Missouri even more impressive. But after seeing Florida get blown out by South Carolina, it's a game that no longer really feels like a resume booster for the Tigers. Still like Northwestern, Wake Forrest and Arizona, they're winning games in big ways against decent opposition and Mississippi Sate H2H still has a lot of a value. Margins between these 5 were slim but ultimately I thought Wake Forrest and Arizona looked better against Miami and BYU than Mississippi State did against Alabama and that ended up being the difference maker between these 4. \r\n\r\nIowa, Kentucky-both these schools have tight wins over big brands, though the extent to which those games are valuable resume builders is still up in the air. These also have blowout losses to top ten teams even if they played those games somewhat competitively in the first half. There's enough there to give these teams some benefit of the doubt, but they both need a little bit more to punch into the tier above them. \r\n\r\nJames Madison, Oregon, Boise State, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, Wisconsin, SMU, LSU, Duke, Memphis-You'll notice a lot of teams here in the rankings as these were the schools that I considered for the final three spots. In order of thought process not team rankings here we go. Ole Miss....they were a pre-season top ten team for me. They beat a team I had ranked in the top ten at time and another team I had in my pre-season top 20. Based off of my preconceived notions this should still be a top ten team. But that last second 3 point win over Louisville is a lot less impressive when Louisville a .500 team not ACC contenders. That win over LSU looks a lot less impressive when LSU doesn't have a signature win of their own. And more importantly that Florida loss is absolutely horrific. I couldn't justify putting in Florida after back to back blowout losses including one to a sub .500 school, so I couldn't really justify including the team that the Gators blew out. Wisconsin and Tennessee could arguably be in that Iowa, Kentucky group, but while Tennessee's loss was the most justifiable of those 4, their wins have been the least impressive putting them as my 26th team, while Wisconsin lacks a win over a team with a winning record. SMU, Duke, Pitt's losses are just a little too underwhelming without a good enough win and Memphis is behind a team they lost to comfortably. James Madison doesn't have a good win, but with everything that can go wrong in a football game, being undefeated is accomplishment in it of itself. Oregon does have 2 losses, but both are pretty reasonable and they have two good wins over Boise and USC. Boise's loss is stomacble and their wins over Memphis and Fresno State, just enough to give them the final spot.\r\n\r\nThough I would like the record to show that these margins are extremely slim and I could justify a case (and did go back and forth several times) on any of the teams in that final group. \r\n", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 55, "handle": "georgia", "name": "Georgia

I considered altering the margin curve and a few other factors since things look strange but this remains the best fit for the data both as a predictive metric and on the retrograde (percent of time the higher ranked team beat the lower ranked adjusted for implied probabilities). Also recall, this model is a scores only model, nothing outside the scores on the field this season (as officially recognized) and the home/away status of the games impacts the ratings.\r\n\r\nThis week I also included Strength of schedule and remaining strength of schedule. These are both computed based on the expected record of the #25 team (this week Oklahoma State) against the same schedule. If you are interested in their projected records let me know. Georgia jumped from near the bottom in SoS to near the top in a single game since Alabama is basically a guaranteed loss according to the model for everyone outside the top 20.\r\n\r\nDespite the loss Alabama remains the top ranked team due to their strength of schedule and margins of victor and defeat. South Carolina is the strangest inclusion but blowing out Florida plus a close loss to Kentucky pull them up. They aren't impacted by their blowout loss to Alabama since everyone outside the top 20 is expected to lose to Alabama by the margin cap or more. They also performed almost exactly as you would expect the #20 team to against Mississippi State.\r\n\r\nFor many teams the loss of bit of preseason anchoring had a greater impact than the on-field results which is why you see things like LSU who had a terrible preseason rating due to a week previous season going up despite a loss and Ohio State and Notre Dame for example dropping despite strong performances.\r\n\r\nHere are the top 30 + changes and SoS.\r\n\r\n| Rank | Name | Elo | Record | SoS | SoS Remaining |\r\n|:----:|------|----:|:------:|----:|--------------:|\r\n| 1 (\u2014) | Alabama | 2098.8 (+7.2) | 5-1 | #1 | #53 |\r\n| 2 (\u21915) | Georgia | 2075.1 (+216.1) | 6-0 | #40 | #26 |\r\n| 3 (\u2014) | Miami (FL) | 2069.7 (+106.7) | 5-0 | #28 | #52 |\r\n| 4 (\u21932) | Notre Dame | 1998.4 (-31.0) | 6-0 | #38 | #42 |\r\n| 5 (\u21915) | UCLA | 1959.6 (+145.6) | 5-0 | #22 | #69 |\r\n| 6 (\u21932) | Texas Tech | 1912.7 (+9.2) | 5-0 | #35 | #57 |\r\n| 7 (\u21917) | Mississippi St. | 1887.4 (+98.1) | 4-1 | #3 | #35 |\r\n| 8 (\u21911) | Houston | 1884.8 (+55.0) | 5-1 | #25 | #43 |\r\n| 9 (\u21933) | Ohio St. | 1850.8 (-37.5) | 5-1 | #56 | #12 |\r\n| 10 (\u219110) | Kentucky | 1835.3 (+112.8) | 5-1 | #9 | #24 |\r\n| 11 (\u21911) | Indiana | 1833.2 (+36.6) | 6-0 | #61 | #54 |\r\n| 12 (\u21931) | BYU | 1828.6 (+26.5) | 5-0 | #76 | #33 |\r\n| 13 (\u21913) | Missouri | 1823.6 (+63.9) | 5-1 | #48 | #5 |\r\n| 14 (\u21939) | Texas | 1822.6 (-68.7) | 4-1 | #12 | #16 |\r\n| 15 (\u2014) | Utah | 1813.9 (+34.2) | 5-0 | #129 | #31 |\r\n| 16 (\u21933) | Oregon | 1807.6 (+14.2) | 3-2 | #5 | #41 |\r\n| 17 (\u21912) | Boise St. | 1804.4 (+79.5) | 5-1 | #42 | #94 |\r\n| 18 (\u21916) | LSU | 1790.5 (+90.8) | 4-2 | #19 | #3 |\r\n| 19 (\u21918) | Wake Forest | 1770.8 (+122.7) | 5-1 | #20 | #81 |\r\n| 20 (\u21918) | South Carolina | 1769.5 (+127.6) | 3-3 | #4 | #14 |\r\n| 21 (\u219313) | Nebraska | 1760.4 (-70.2) | 5-1 | #89 | #40 |\r\n| 22 (\u21935) | Northwestern | 1756.6 (+6.9) | 4-1 | #67 | #45 |\r\n| 23 (\u21913) | Clemson | 1734.8 (+82.7) | 3-2 | #6 | #70 |\r\n| 24 (\u21936) | Tennessee | 1732.5 (-5.3) | 5-1 | #65 | #6 |\r\n| 25 (\u219132) | Oklahoma St. | 1712.8 (+206.1) | 4-1 | #52 | #44 |\r\n| 26 (\u21931) | Ole Miss | 1695.4 (+40.9) | 4-1 | #31 | #13 |\r\n| 27 (\u21934) | Wisconsin | 1693.7 (-13.0) | 4-1 | #44 | #39 |\r\n| 28 (\u219121) | North Carolina | 1691.9 (+155.6) | 3-2 | #7 | #59 |\r\n| 29 (\u21919) | Arizona | 1685.9 (+98.1) | 5-1 | #86 | #49 |\r\n| 30 (\u21915) | Baylor | 1681.1 (+77.0) | 4-1 | #98 | #22 |\r\n\r\nHere is the conference breakdowns too.

Its biggest input is opponent-adjusted scoring: how many points a team scores and allows compared with what its opponents usually give up and score. That is combined with results, strength of schedule, quality of wins and losses, and recent form. It adjusts for home field, limits the effect of blowouts, gives more credit for beating highly ranked opponents, and penalizes bad losses. Recent games count more than early ones.

Louisiana Tech\r\n\r\nI guess I should share my methodology since I am part of the poll now. Here is my current methodology. It will change as I mature, gain more experience, etc. For now though, this is my methodology.\r\n\r\nMy method changes as the season progresses, but it is all a human poll. Preseason is purely speculative, as in, who would be favored on a neutral field. The team that I think is hypothetically better will get the better ranking. Early on this is recruiting ranking, talent retained, etc.\r\n\r\nSlowly through the season, I add in more weight to the resume. When teams have played 5 games, is when I weigh expectations and resume equally. I also view 9 games played as the marker when resume will have 100% weight, and expectations have none. \r\n\r\nBy resume, I try to look purely at how difficult I think providing that resume would be. This takes into account strength of schedule and margin of victory. I tend to favor consistent teams over streaky ones. In practice, that means I punish teams with bad losses more than teams that don't have good wins. I also do not take head-to-head into consideration. I look hard at the resume if the team's name was missing.\r\n\r\nI also try to \"overreact\" a bit when it comes to rankings. While I try to be fair, if a team gets a bad loss, if I struggle where to put them between 2 spots, I will end up putting them lower. The reason is, I am scared of poll momentum being a crutch, where teams just stay where they are. Moving them forces me to get out of the rut, and actually analyze them.\r\n\r\nOne other quirk I have is, I believe winning is hard. Any team that is 5-0 or better will be ranked. It causes some silly rankings that first week, but I think it is important. Mainly because if forces me to pay attention to smaller schools. \r\n\r\nI'm also leaving notes on games I watched, or have significant opinions. I won't try to guess on explanations where I have no real opinion.\r\n", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 55, "handle": "georgia", "name": "Georgia Bulldogs" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank":

ACCURACY:\r\nA team's rating is meant to be predictive of future results. This system consistently ranks highly against systems tracked on PredictionTracker.com for straight-up winner accuracy (78.7%, would be #4 on PredictionTracker for 2026 season to date), average absolute error (12.4, would be #22), and ATS (51.1%, would be #19). Win chances for individual games also track closely with observed win rates--for example, teams given a 75% chance to win a game are victorious about 75% of the time.\r\n\r\nTHE MAIN IDEA:\r\nEach team is rated by two numbers: an offense rating (how many more or fewer points it scores than an average team would against the same opponents) and a defense rating (how many more or fewer points it allows, where lower is better). The difference between those two values (offense minus defense) is a team's Expected Team Average Net (ExTAN) rating, which corresponds to how many points the team would be expected to beat an average FBS team by on a neutral field. Subtract two teams' ExTAN ratings to get the expected spread between them at a neutral site. Apply 2.9 points for homefield advantage.\r\n\r\nHOW IT'S CALCULATED:\r\nOnly game scores and locations are used for evaluating in-season results. Offense and defense ratings are calculated by adjusting for the quality of the opponent and for home field. Because each team's rating depends on its opponents' ratings, the model adjusts all teams together, repeatedly, until every rating is consistent with every result \u2014 strength of schedule is built into the method rather than added afterward. Early in the season, when there is little to go on, ratings are blended with a preseason estimate built from last year's final rating and recruiting talent; that estimate fades as real games accumulate.\r\n\r\nLots more detail about the ratings (including full rankings, team pages, accuracy tracking, and predictions) can be found at the ratings site: https://externaltangents.com/ExTAN/", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 51, "handle": "alabama", "name": "Alabama Crimson Tide" }, "rationale": "Note: read the overall rationale for full explanation.

Their loss is comparable to Iowa, but Iowa's wins are overall just better for now.\r\n-Wake Forest (computer- 28): Last team in Bucket F. No quality wins and a not very close loss the Miami (FL), very similar resume to Iowa and Wisconsin\r\n-Cincinnati (computer-35): Kansas State is no longer a quality win, and their blowout loss to Arizona is rough. \r\n-USC (computer-14): This will be my biggest outlier this week, and the computer still really likes them, but they have no quality wins anymore. Last week they got buoyed with quality wins over Louisiana and Fresno State, but those teams both lost and dropped from the quality win department. They have their loss to Oregon, and 3 close games against bad teams.\r\n_______________\r\n\r\nDrops: Pitt (3), USC (10), North Dakota State (18), Ole Miss (21)\r\n\r\n-Pitt (3>UR; computer- 25): Virginia Tech is still a quality win, but UCF no longer is, and North Carolina is a bad loss. \r\n-North Dakota State (18>UR; computer- ): Air Force is still a quality win, but the loss to UNLV drops them. They'll still hover in the computer, but without more quality wins they'll struggle to gain any traction while other teams pick them up more and more.\r\n\r\n_______________________\r\nOther teams of note:\r\n\r\n-SMU (computer- 45): Not really sure why SMU is ranked at all. Their loss to Louisville is bad, and their best win is surviving Florida State. They've also had very close games against Missouri State and Boston College\r\n-Oklahoma (computer- 46): Oklahoma has two quality wins, New Mexico and Texas, but their losses to Georgia and Michigan are both bad for different reasons. If they beat Kentucky they will probably find themselves ranked.\r\n-Duke (computer-40): Duke still hasn't played a quality team all year, and was Georgia Tech loss is a tough one. The computer had them ranked all year but I struggled to rank them with their multiple close games to start the year.\r\n-New Mexico (computer- 37): Excited to see what this team can do down the stretch. No quality wins, but their loss to Oklahoma showed they can compete with this tier of competition. \r\n-Oregon State (computer-31): The 2 losses keep them unranked for now, but I have them as the clear 2nd best 2 loss team. No quality wins, but close losses against Houston and Texas Tech won't hurt them a ton down the stretch.\r\n-LSU (computer- 30): I haven't been sold on LSU all year. They pick up a second loss, and have no quality wins to speak of. \r\n-Auburn (computer- 41): Noting Auburn because they count as a quality win for a couple of teams. They have the 2 losses which firmly keeps them from ranked conversation, but the quality win over Baylor is holding more weight as the season goes on. \r\n", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 55, "handle": "georgia", "name": "Georgia Bulldogs" }, "rationale": "Georgia finally picks up a quality win with a huge win over Bama.

r/CFB Poll for the 4th straight year! The JB Rankings are a computer model that, in a nutshell, gives you points for a win, takes away points for a loss, and divides your cumulative score by log(games played + 1). So every team starts out with 0 resume points which go up/down depending on how they play during the year. For each game, opponent record, opponent conference, at what point in the season the game was played, and scoring margin are taken into account. The model rewards you for playing a tough schedule. If you beat a great team, you get a lot of points. If you lose to a great team, you only lose a few points. If you beat a bad team, you only get a few points. If you lose to a bad team, you lose a lot of points.

Even Oregon has a win against USC and they're not even on this list, so how can I put LSU here?\r\n\r\n[Oregon State] should be on everybody's radar. If they finish 11-2 (which I expect them to), they'll probably be punching a ticket to the playoffs with an offense that'll be me more than enough of a match for all but the stoutest of defenses. If only they had been able to close out either of their OOC openers...\r\n\r\n[Penn State] wasn't even close to making this list.

SECOND layer (human portion): home/field/away, key injuries, P4/G6 status, watched game factors (ex: offensive/defensive line domination, rush yards after contact, average point of first contact, defensive penetration on non-inside screens, missed tackles, quarterback throwing release speed, overall turnovers, average starting field position, etc). THIRD layer (human portion): wins/losses vs higher-/lower-/non-ranked teams, recency of those results. FOURTH layer (computer portion): Deservedness = Team A cannot be ranked over Team B that has 2+ fewer losses (ex: 9-3 LSU can be ranked over 10-2 Missouri, but 9-3 LSU cannot be ranked over 11-1 Tulane even if LSU beat Tulane heads up, rankings have LSU over Tulane, and/or I think LSU is better than Tulane) unless Team B is giving a X loss allowance to Team A due to significantly fewer P4 games played. Loss allowances come into play when: P4 teams play 2 fewer P4 games than another P4 team (ex: 9-3 Arizona plays 10 P4 games, 11-1 Syracuse plays 8 P4 games, 10-8=2, 9-3 Arizona can be ranked over 11-1 Syracuse); P4 teams play 6 fewer P4 games than a G6 team (11-1 Syracuse plays 8 P4 teams, 9-3 Charlotte plays 2 P4 teams, 8-2=6, 9-3 Charlotte can be ranked over 11-1 Syracuse) unless the P4 team plays 0 P4 games then it is 7; G6 teams play 9 fewer P4 teams than a P4 team (ex: 9-3 South Carolina plays 10 P4 games, 11-1 Boise State plays 1 P4 games, 10-0=0, 9-3 South Carolina can be ranked over 11-1 Boise State); or G6 teams play 2 fewer P4 games than another G6 team (ex: 9-3 Charlotte plays 2 P4 games, 11-1 Liberty plays 0 P4 games, 2-0=2, 9-3 Charlotte can be ranked over 11-1 Liberty). If the game differential exceeds more than 2/6/9/2 in those scenarios, add another loss allowance for each additional P4 game played difference in that scenario. Further allowances given when a P4 team plays 8-9 P4 games and when a G6 team plays 0 P4 games (no P4 non-cons).", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 55, "handle": "georgia", "name": "Georgia Bulldogs" }, "rationale": "+2.

It's hard to be certain when 2024 ended in a late-season collapse, 2025 featured a mid-season collapse brushed aside by an unlikely run to the championship, and 2026 hasn't seen any slam-dunk proof of the Hurricanes' elite status.

The best win ND has to compare is over 4-1 Wisconsin, which...*could* be good, but it's a precarious thing to balance an elite's resume on the strength of another team that has no meaningful results yet otherwise. The Badgers play UCLA, USC, and Iowa next, though, which could prove instructive about whether the Irish's win over them should be given a bit more respect." }, { "rank": 4, "team": { "id": 26, "handle": "indiana", "name": "Indiana Hoosiers" }, "rationale": "Speaking of teams that haven't played anybody, aside from other teams that *really* haven't played anybody! Indiana has no resume outside of one-score wins over the Big Ten's two NUs, which is pretty solid on paper considering those teams are otherwise 9-0...but the best of those nine wins is either 3-3 Penn State or 4-2 Ohio. You might ask why I believe in Northwestern and Nebraska enough to rank them highly when I don't extend the same confidence to Wisconsin; the answer mostly comes down to how close they played Indiana. But it's important to keep perspective that it'd be kinda silly to have the Hoosiers ahead of ND because they beat their best opponents by *less*, so for now, they fall behind.

I should be clear that\u2014at least in my case\u2014this isn't a matter of treating the Georgia game like it's *not* a loss because of that nonsense no-PI call, because those things happen and there's really no way of knowing how the game would've played out if it had gone another way.

I haven't punished them much for it until now because, well, a one-point loss in a hostile road environment early in the season against an undefeated top-ten team is about as excusable as it gets. But the Longhorns have shown a lot of cracks, even more so in their first loss of the season against OU.

Still, there's no debating that it was a solid result, and as with Northwestern, I'm moved to bring Nebraska *into* the rankings on the strength of losing their undefeated status in just about the most impressive way possible.

I can't blame people for seeing the championship potential here, but one of these years, Texas needs to earn their spot at the top before we start calling them the best team in football.

Next up is the biggest test of OSU's Big 12 contender status between now and mid-November: a trip to Houston, which is fresh off a dominant win over K-State.

That being said, I'm a little thrown by just how much stock is being put in a messy, ugly 17-15 brawl between two teams that were down to their QB2 and QB3 by the end of the game. I wanna see UCLA prove themselves against more reliable competition, but we've got the schedule problem again: up next are Wisconsin, MSU, Nevada, Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan.

This team strikes me as very similar to Wake Forest: quietly 9-4 last season, and now taking care of business against the mid/low tiers of their conference while carrying a single, close-ish loss against the league's highest-ranked team.

That's not inherently a great credit to Moore or anything; it's more that Dylan Raiola just had maybe the worst performance by any QB, in any game, in the last few years. UCLA defenders averaged more yards on his intercepted passes (3.0) than Oregon receivers did on his completed ones (2.3).

8 to start posting my computer poll, but it's been rating relatively well since Week 5 in my opinion so I'm going to start building ballots with it a bit early this season. I've been using a computer poll since 2003 (all my math), and over the years I\u2019ve tweaked it time and again. If an adjustment gets me a decent enough result earlier in a season and retroactively over previous seasons, I will tend to keep it going forward, so I may post these sooner from now on.\r\n\r\nWith this change in plan, I wasn\u2019t prepared to write this introduction late at night after all the games, and so I had to give up my pre-AP rating for the week so that it would hopefully make a little more sense than the groggy, late-night version I initially provided. \r\n\r\nLet me just start by claiming that there are no preseason factors included in my computer poll, and that\u2019s why I introduce it mid-season. This poll doesn't just weigh strength of schedule against results and scores, but gauges the ability of a team to score against and separately to prevent the scoring of an average opponent. This is different than measuring the strength of an offense or a defense and trying to incorporate special teams in some way, and it doesn't rely on yards gained or given up, because wins and losses are defined by scoring and the prevention thereof and not necessarily by how a team performs between the end zones. \r\n\r\nWhat that means is, each team is rated two values to start with. The first value shows how many points they would typically add or, if they\u2019re bad, subtract from the number of points an average opponent would give up to another average opponent. Likewise a separate value shows how many points they would subtract or, if they\u2019re bad, add to the average points an opponent typically scores in a game against another average opponent. Here's a list of the best and worst teams in each rating:\r\n\r\nPoints Added (to what an average team gives up to an average opponent):\r\n1. Alabama +18.5\r\n2. Miami +17.5\r\n3. Georgia +15.8\r\n4. Notre Dame +15.6\r\n5. Ohio State +14.8\r\n...\r\n134. Utah State -10.9\r\n135. Charlotte -11.2\r\n136. Northern Illinois -11.5\r\n137. Wyoming -12.4\r\n138. Kent State -13.6\r\n\r\nPoints Prevented (from what an average team scores on an average opponent):\r\n1. Indiana -17.0\r\n2. Texas -15.5\r\n3. BYU -13.7\r\n4. Alabama -12.7\r\n5. FIU -12.4 (-8.5 on the Points Added side, great sickos contestant)\r\n...\r\n134. Ball State +10.7\r\n135. Charlotte +11.3\r\n136. Colorado State +11.5 (+11.3 on the Points Added side, showing their WACBall roots)\r\n137. UTEP +11.6\r\n138. UL Monroe +15.7\r\n\r\nThese values are then calculated into a separate overall team rating which I use to rank each team every week. This rating is a team\u2019s percent likelihood to beat an average opponent, and the ranking itself is just ordering who is most likely to win against any given program, so this is a strength metric as opposed to a reward metric. Likelihood does not mean automatic, and every team brings a potential range of quality to the field in any given week. While I said it doesn\u2019t necessarily reward anyone for unexpected results, keep in mind those results do have to factor into the ranking on some level, so a surprising result might push up a team\u2019s overall calculated strength to some degree. \r\n\r\nFinally, this week's ballot is given below. In addition, the next ten out are: Wisconsin, Baylor, Arizona, Oklahoma State, New Mexico, Ole Miss, Florida, Boise State, North Dakota State, and Oklahoma. I should recognize that the model regards Ole Miss as severely overrated at the moment, but that doesn't mean that they won't climb up my ballot in later weeks. \r\n\r\nConference Rating (average of all members):\r\n1. SEC - 71.289 (8 ranked)\r\n2. Big Ten - 67.692 (8 ranked)\r\n3. Big XII - 67.153 (4 ranked)\r\n4. ACC - 59.863 (3 ranked)\r\n5. Pac-12 - 49.614 (0 ranked)\r\n6. American - 48.716 (0 ranked)\r\n7.

I've done some variation of the Colley Matrix (introducing bias to the famously \"bias-free computer poll\"), and this year is no different. Two years ago the teams were biased by FPI. This was probably good as far as accuracy goes, if you consider accuracy \"closer to human polls.\" But in practice it was pretty much the Colley matrix with G5 teams down a lot of spots and P5 (especially SEC) teams up a lot of spots. Last year, I biased the teams by PFF rating. Specifically their \"Overall\" rating. This wasn't too bad, it boosted a few teams and dropped others. But the black box of PFF made it a little uninteresting to me.\r\n\r\nThis year the bias is going to come from excess score. I will run a regression where I use the rating(1) of the teams facing each other to predict the scoreline, so:\r\n\r\nHome Team Score - Away Team Score = a+b(Home Team Rating - Away Team Rating)\r\n\r\nThen I will take the residuals from this regression, and average by team. The averages will be converted to numbers between 0-1. And this number will be the bias number. \r\n\r\nAt this point there's mostly 1 observation per team so the results will be very funky. But as the season progresses, teams will get punished for winning close games that had no business being close, and rewarded for big wins in games that should have been competitive. This also applies on the other side too, teams will get rewarded for making games close they should have been blown out in, and so on. I guess in a way, you can consider this a \"beat the spread bias\" but the spread comes from me, not Vegas.\r\n\r\n(1) The rating used in this calculation is the rating with the previous weeks bias, but the current weeks results. \r\n\r\nNote: I like this poll idea, but it does feel like sometimes the MOV has toooo much influence over the positions. I will wait till the season is over to make any changes, but I'd like to see these settle into a normal \"unusual\" level in the next week or two.\r\n\r\nTo give *some* transparency to what's happening in here, the top 3 MOV boosts in the top 25 are Notre Dame, Miami, and OREGON. I mentioned in a previous week that the FCS have a lot of influence, and this is a good example. The top 3 getting a MOV discount are Indiana, USC, and Wake Forest. Things like Alabama > Georgia are mostly MOV generated (Bama is about 60th percentile, Georgia at 50th.) \r\n\r\nAt some point, maybe I will come up with a way to differentiate wins and losses in the MOV adjustment, since I think that may be where some discrepancies arise. A win by 10 more than expected is worth the same as a lost by 10 less than expected. It is not immediately obvious to me how to do this, but maybe I'll come up with something for next year.

This starts with a base 40% of opponent's points, plus up to 10% bonus based on margin of victory and home/away status. This 40% base decreases as the weeks go on (down to 17.5% by postseason), this is done to limit large swings as the season progresses. The season is ran both forwards and backwards (For example on week 10, the poll calculates weeks 1->10 and then weeks 10->1) and then averages results. This limits being destroyed by a week 1 loss, and give some hindsight to early winners. Starting points are assigned as follows: P5: 500, G5: 400, FCS: 200. This is ranking the most \"deserving\" teams and not an attempt to rank the \"best\" teams or to be predictive. For example, being ranked above another team does not imply you are the better team or should beat a lower team, just that you had better performance in your season. I also try to keep parity between P4 and G6 to be pretty tight. While this is not a particularly statistical method, as the season develops the top 10 especially usually shake out pretty decently.

"overall_rationale": "Alright, Week 6 is in the books and one must say that it was a crazy weekend for CFB and we did indeed see tons of movers and shakers in the poll. First off was a scare for Indiana which for most of the game Nebraska had control and I would have loved seeing Nebraska being the one that pulled off the upset and dethrone Indiana from the Top Spot, but alas Nebraska pulled a Nebraska in typical fashion. But then we saw an upset when Texas choked away a 17-7 lead and then proceeded to lose at a last second FG against Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout. It was a good game in Tuscaloosa where it looked like it was gonna be a monsoon earlier in the week thanks to Isaias hitting the Gulf Coast, but it ended up being a thriller, but Georgia finally won in Tuscaloosa in almost 20 years. Kentucky in the 2nd week in a row finds a way to win in OT by the same score of 35-34 thanks to a 2 point conversion, this time against LSU and yeah not looking good for ol Lane Kiffin there. UCLA pulled an upset in Eugene as Raiola had one of his worst games in his career and yeah looks like they will get a huge drop as a result. Lastly Pitt losing to North Carolina it looks like it\u2019s been a better Year 2 for Belichick in Chapel Hill. And lastly, Duke utterly collapse hard against Georgia Tech and yeah not a good look if you ask me. Overall it was a week of great games and upsets, and it\u2019ll be many more as the season progresses.", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 26, "handle": "indiana", "name": "Indiana Hoosiers"

Add this to the team's total points - Take the opponent's record again and multiply it by the margin of victory. Add this to the team's total points - Go back and recheck on all past opponents for each team that season If a past opponent was an FCS team, skip them If your past opponent was an FBS team, check their record up to the current week, minus the game against the current team. Multiply that record by 50 Multiply the record again by the MOV of that game again, then multiply that by 0.25.

"submission_date": "2026-10-13T15:59:03.422626+00:00", "overall_rationale": "Welcome back to another weekend recap of college football! Holy shit, my Yellow Jackets actually won a game. Thank god for our voodoo against Duke, who were undefeated and were looking primed to jump back into the top 25 had they won. What a shame.\r\n\r\nBefore we get started, I just wanted to remind you of a few caveats to my top 25: I'm including at least a few spots for the G6, as an indicator of who I think is favored to make a run at the Playoffs out of those conferences. I also love pre-conference play variance, so you'll see a lot of that too. In addition, this poll, by nature, is meant to be overreactive. I'm not here to try to be predictive - I want this to be strictly resume, even if that resume consists of a single game. I'm not here trying to justify every single one of my top 25 staying in the top 25 week-to-week; that's just lame. And it's not the point of what I want to accomplish when doing these rankings. Even still, before you crucify me for this poll ballot... allow me to explain further.\r\n\r\nWhile preseason rankings, perceived team strength, recruiting rankings, and all of those other factors will still play a role in the value I grant to certain teams, I ultimately want this ranking to be a resume-based one as stated earlier, not a power ranking. I'm always searching for ways to best optimize this and to best balance the two, especially early on, so am open to opinions. However, since we are now well into conference play, the results on the field will continue to take increasingly more precedent over what was expected out of teams in pre-season based upon past years and talent/coaching available to them.\r\n\r\nSo, a better question: why is the top 25 the way that they are? Well, I'm glad you asked, random stranger I made up in my head to dictate this interaction! There are a few key things that I will always do once everyone enters in-conference play. First, I basically disregard, to the best of my ability, not only last week's rankings but preseason expectations in general, and then rank from that. In addition, I like to include multiple G5 (now G6) frontrunners, even if their resumes lack slightly compared to a P4 team. ALL UNDEFEATED G6 TEAMS WILL BE RANKED. Does this make the poll have unreasonable amounts of instability and deviation from the norm? Probably! Do I care? Not really. It's still early on - everyone who deserves to be ranked will become ranked again soon enough. I'm not the committee; just keep winning, and things will fall into place.\r\n\r\nThat said, let's get on to the necessary business at the end of this. A lot of movement necessitates a lot of accounting. SOR is taken from ESPN for ease of access. And yes, I know it still looks silly early on in the year (even after 5+ weeks of games played), but considering how much I converge with it by the end of the year, I find it prudent to include. It is not the only metric I consider but it's the easiest to compare with my rankings.\r\n\r\nNOTE: So this site decided to log me out while I was finishing up my rankings and now I'm having to scramble to get it all in.

I think if any one of the missed calls (PI, targeting, interception, facemask, facemask on Keelon) get called then this probably goes the other direction.
