That being said, he is Mr. Reliable. Their defense needed some work though. I'm not convinced Norvell's issue is that he can't coach on the field; I'm more convinced that Novell's issue is that they have been recruiting nowhere up to Florida State's previous standards.

This game was more of a step in the right direction though.

If they don't beat Miami, I'm fairly certain they won't make the CFB unless there are a lot of 3-loss teams that are in the playing field (which is entirely possible given the chaos that has occurred so far this season).

The Houston offense scored a TD on the next drive and never trailed again - although OKST kept it close and was trying to get the lead. A good game, and these boys play Utah this upcoming weekend. Looking forward to this Big12 game and its implications. Houston has the ability to potentially go 11-1, 10-2 given their schedule. Due to the loss to TTech, I don't think they have a shot at the Big12 Title Game, but this team has some playoff potential.

I'd say their defense did fairly well - they did come away with an INT and forced a FUM but were unable to recover it, if I recall correctly. But their offense was outmatched in Neyland stadium. Only 201 total yards, 4 turnovers. Quite ugly. Quite the dismantling. Alabama has a TAMU team that has been facing some severe hardships and currently sits at 4-3 after a win vs Citadel this past weekend. Very much a get-it-right opportunity for Alabama as they look to get back into shape before a bye week and then LSU the first weekend of November.

They look good out there. Although they weren't enough to compete with Miami, they still played the Hurricanes fairly well and, looking at their schedule, there's no reason the Demon Deacons can't win out. They have some decent teams in Virginia, SMU, and Duke still left on the schedule, but none of these are teams I would currently consider to be scary. Worth taking seriously, but not scary.

Last week, I had them at 21. I don't think this far of a jump is typically warranted given the win they just had, but they are being assisted by several teams that I had in front of them also having lost. Those teams being Mizzou, OKST, and Miss St. While I do have them ranked 1-2 spots higher than I would probably want them to be, I do think they can & should beat pretty much every team behind them in their current states (Mizzou and Florida are kind of toss ups for me as I am unsure which version of each of those teams Kentucky will face). \r\n\r\nThey're sitting at 6 wins, 4-1 in conference, with wins over A&M, LSU, SCAR, and now Oklahoma. I can't get the best read on them - they don't seem to be a highly offensive team but their offense seems to produce when it's needed. They've had some close games - LSU & SCAR were won by the skin of their teeth, while TAMU was a 2 score game (10 points) and Oklahoma a 1 score game (8 points). The win against OU was also a bit of a comeback, as they were down a touchdown before scoring 2 unanswered touchdowns to take the lead. Will Stein seems to be doing what needs to be done but has also benefited from a bit of luck, and you need luck as much as you do skill, conditioning, and the works. I don't know if I'm as confident in this team winning out as I am some others - they still have some very tricky teams on their schedule like Tennessee, Florida, Mizzou, and Louisville - but even splitting those 4 would make this a 9-win team (assuming they beat Vandy, which is likely). This is a decent-to-good Kentucky team, and I'm curious to see where they go.

In any other year, wins over Oregon & Wisconsin might be big reasons to like this team. Wisconsin isn't bad, per se, and I think they're trending in a positive direction than the last few years, but I'm hesitant to call them good as of yet. Despite being undefeated, I am hesitant to rank them much higher. With Iamaleava out, I do have some big questions about this UCLA team. Dieffenbach did play well enough to get them a win but got no touchdowns - 22/33 for 264YDs and 1 INT. The running game was decent with Woods & Thomas averaging over 4YPC. Their leading rusher, Wayne Knight, on the other hand, was very inefficient on the day, averaging only 1.8YPC on 13 carries. \r\n\r\nThere are very beatable teams on this schedule, however, and I can almost see a world where this team limps into their final game against USC undefeated. They do not play any more of the B1G's heavy hitters until then, with maybe the exception of Michigan the weekend before Thanksgiving, but they are a team who is still working on getting their act together. I don't particularly think USC is that great either, but it seems to be the most dangerous game remaining on the UCLA schedule. If they do make it, I'll be very impressed, but I'll need to see them get back to scoring in bunches before I'm confident in their ability to really compete. Back to back games with only 17 points is concerning, even though I know they're on their backup QB.

They have games against Texas, Georgia, and Kentucky still left on their schedule, which are not easy games, and I won't be surprised if they drop 2 of 3 in that stretch.

I am generally a subscriber to the idea that losing close on the road to an opponent ranked higher than you is not grounds to move you very far. Last week, I had Houston at 14, OKST at 16. If this loss were in a vacuum, I'd probably have only dropped OKST to 17 or 18.

Sun Belt Billy is showing that he can dominate that conference, and their offense has been flying high. Given that they are undefeated, I have them as the top G6 team in the nation. Although there is an argument against them in terms of them not having played any P4 teams, ESPN currently has the Dukes at 23 overall in SOR (but 131 in SOS).

This game did not start out great. Went down 17-3 after some poor defense (tackling was terrible to start) and allowing a punt return for a Texas TD. Took a bit for Jones to settle in as well, but he, ultimately, looked tremendous out there (for a first ever start on the road, in Austin, against a typically great defense like Texas), overall going 22/35 for 155 YDs passing, 2TDs, 0INTs, and 10 carries for 49YDs. He ran hard in this game but also ran smart, taking slides where appropriate and putting his fully body into it where appropriate also. Jaden Baugh, although not quite as efficient, got back to his ground & pound ways, rushing 91 yards on 25 carries and for 1TD. Florida was able to score a touchdown to make it 17-10 before the half, indicating they had some life, but then they really turned it around in the 2nd half, tying the game through a long and methodical 15 play drive right out of the gate, chewing up 8 minutes of the 3rd quarter. \r\n\r\nFlorida went up 2 scores in the 4th, but I did get scared after they let up a Texas touchdown to let Texas close the lead to 27-24. That 4th Down long play was infuriating, and my heart was racing during the 4th quarter. I actually called my cardiologist friend and told her I might need her to check on me because of what Gator football does to my body. Of course, the punt on the Gators' drive after the Texas TD was not inspiring or calming either, but that Arch fumble was perfectly timed to restore my faith in football again. \r\n\r\nThis team has a bye before the Cocktail Party. Florida has obviously been up & down this season and I won't be surprised if they continue that cycle against Georgia (in Atlanta, btw, due to Jags stadium renovations). That being said, who knows?

They have a tough game this weekend as they host Ole Miss. Ole Miss has been exposed before, but they have also played and beaten some good competition. If Texas's QB woes continue, they could be in real trouble as their next 4 games have obvious danger potential. Ole Miss, followed by Miss St, Mizzou, and LSU, in that order. Miss St's danger potential depends on the health of their team, as they were without their 3 best players against LSU this past weekend, and Mizzou needs to bounce back from a thrashing by Ole Miss, but being wounded doesn't mean they're not dangerous.

LSU obviously started out hot in destroying Clemson, had a rough first half vs LTech before taking off in the second half, lost to Ole Miss, destroyed a TAMU team that has not been performing well, tuned up against McNeese, then lost in OT @ Kentucky, before getting a clean sheet while dismantling a Miss St team that is currently a shell of its former self due to injury. Although I am certain Miss St is a decent-to-good team when fully healthy, none of LSU's wins have been against particularly impressive teams. \r\n\r\nI think ESPN agrees with me here that as, by the numbers, LSU is in a weird spot, and I don't think has earned much more than possibly being a top 20-25 team. LSU is 27th in SOR and 25th in SOS. Despite their two losses and no marquee wins as of yet, FPI has them at #8. However, LSU is 2nd in Remaining SOS, with games against Auburn, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, and Arkansas. They absolutely have chances to prove their worth over this stretch, although my guess is that they will pick up 3 out of those 5 games.

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 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.

"2026-10-18T16:07:47.493063+00:00", "overall_rationale": "TLDR: Combined predictive+resume scores, equally weighted.\r\n\r\nThe first stage is a predictive model using a Kalman filter to assign an offense and defense rating to all teams across FBS and FCS (offense as the number of points they would score against the average defense, defense as how much better they are than the average defense). Overall rating is (offense-defense), and the difference between Team A and Team B's rating is how much A would be expected to beat B by on a neutral field. Margin of victory matters, and preseason ratings are based on the historical correlations between team ratings in two consecutive years. Data for the last 10 years is loaded in, though earlier data barely matters. Results will track comparably with other well-known predictive models like FPI and SP+, although this model only considers what happens on the field (albeit including previous years). It is also not unlike the results an Elo model would give if Elo allowed larger jumps for early-season games and allowed for retroactive adjustment of opponent ratings. At the moment the uncertainty in each team's power rating is a standard deviation of about 7 points.\r\n\r\nI use the results of this predictive model to drive a resume calculation. My definition of a resume power is \"what power would a hypothetical team need to have in order to have a 50% chance of matching or exceeding this team's record in their completed games?\" Note that this doesn't care which games you win and lose, only how many- e.g. beating Oregon and losing to Tulsa gives the same resume score as beating Tulsa and losing to Oregon. The methodology means you aren't punished much for losing to good teams and aren't rewarded much for beating bad teams. Also note that because there are a lot more ways to go X-1 than X-0, staying undefeated indirectly makes a resume quite a bit stronger. Overall, this method acts a lot like ESPN's SOR, but with the added benefit of assigning a numerical power.\r\n\r\nOne benefit of this resume ranking methodology is that like my predictive ranking, it has units of points. I feel like a good overall ranking should include both resume and prediction of how strong a team is, and my methodology allows me to directly average the two numbers to create a hybrid ranking accounting for both. Overall I find it fairly hard to argue with a lot of its team placements, especially compared to the older version of my model which only accounted for the predictive side.\r\n\r\nHybrid

evaluates teams based on who they beat/lost to. More points are awarded for beating good teams and less points are subtracted for losing to good teams. Preseason rankings are evaluated based on weighted previous two year's performance, returning production, and team talent composite. Beating an FCS opponent is awarded minimally, but losing is punished. Ranking score is modified by strength of opponent and travel distance to away games. Early season rankings are influenced heavily by strong non-conference wins (e.g., beating two decent teams is rewarded more than beating a single strong team and an FCS team) though this is biased by preseason rankings. Score accumulates throughout the season, so points are awarded based on the models perception of teams at the time.
