{ "poll": { "id": 255, "year": 2026, "week": "Week 9", "voter_type": "main" }, "ballots": [ { "id": 77385, "username": "0010MK", "ballot_type": "Computer", "submission_date": "2026-10-25T13:49:06.514024+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": [ {

Yes every single week. Well Big 12 thanks for joining the pile on. Big Ten feels like you're next. ACC thank you for being somewhat consistent. \r\n\r\nMiami, Utah, UCLA-It's hard to be undefeated as this season shows, and it's time to give the undefeateds their due. It doesn't hurt that pretty much all of the big 1 loss teams losses are looking a little worse this week. But still Utah got that big win they needed over Houston, and UCLA's been consistent in a sport where that's nearly impossible these days. \r\n\r\nBYU, Ohio State, Indiana, Notre Dame, Georgia. Our 5 top one loss teams. Ohio State has the best win, of the bunch, but BYU's the only one with two high quality wins. Notre Dame and Indiana remain a coin flip for me, similar quality loss but I like Indiana's wins more, while Georgia's loss looks a little bit worse while so does their signature win.\r\n\r\nArizona, Texas Tech, Wake Forrest, Northwestern: Dominant performance from Arizona who's blowout win over Cincinnati is looking better as well. Wake Forrest kind of benefiting from the bye week but they're still looking better than a lot of the country right now. Same with Northwestern\r\n\r\nTennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Texas Tech, Houston, Oklahoma State: Tech took a bit of a drop, I just can't really stomach a blowout loss that much even if the scoreline looked closer than the actual game was. All of these teams have decent wins, but hard to stomach losses in general. Except for Houston, but they're stuck in h2h purgatory. \r\n\r\nSpeaking of h2h purgatory and blowouts. \r\n\r\nFlorida-Missouri-Ole Miss are trapped in brutal circle of blowouts. Which makes them all kinds of diicult to rank. Texas and LSU are also in there somewhere and frankly they all just make me miserable. At least Missippi State's out of the equation. This is what I arrived at. \r\n\r\nWisconsin that was impressive. SMU finally taking care of business and looking comfortable in the process. Boise don't disappoint me. \r\n\r\nNext 5 in: USC, Missouri, Nebraska, Oregon State, New Mexico", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 7, "handle": "miami", "name": "Miami Hurricanes" },

because the OT handling was bugged in my previous build. It never impacted a team by more than 1 spot up or down all year, but has been corrected now. Any OT win is treated as a ~56% win share rather than being given win share based on margin of victory. The flag for OT from my datasource was not actually being populated so I had to go back and correct the data and now things are working fully as intended. It is a very nit change but worth noting for transparency since Miami is one of the teams impacted by the fix.\r\n\r\nFeel free to ask about the SoS, alternative SoS (eg what if we measured from a different level of eliteness rather than gate of the top 25), SoR, overall ranking, the per game implied ratings breakdowns or anything else about the top 25 or any other team in FBS. Some of the rankings seem strange quickly become clear once you look at the per game implied ratings breakdown.\r\n\r\nStrength of schedule and remaining strength of schedule are computed from the expected record of the #25 team (this week Nebraska) against the same schedule.

When there's parity, losses don't hurt as much as when there are incredible teams at the top and everyone else at the bottom.

The team is going to workshop that a bit more in the off-season, some combination of: \r\n\r\n1) OT adjusted scores, because winning by 7 in OT is very different than winning by 7 in regulation.\r\n2) we will never cap MoV based on our philosophy but perhaps we can apply a non-linear function to dampen it when it's beyond 28 points or something.

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 Monroe\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": 48, "handle": "utah", "name": "Utah Utes" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 2, "team":

For the teams not ranked that you would except based on the AP poll, my previous polls, and drops (I rank the top 30-40 manually, after that its just computer rankings): \r\n\r\n_________________\r\nNext 5: Oregon State, Missouri, New Mexico, James Madison, UTSA\r\n\r\n-Oregon State (computer- 29): Oregon State lacks any quality wins, but their losses to Houston and Texas Tech are the best of any unranked team\r\n-Missouri (computer- 32): Missouri has a quality win over Florida, but has 2 bad losses in Mississippi State and a blowout from Ole Miss.\r\n-New Mexico (computer- 23): New Mexico picks up a quality win over North Dakota State, but it's their only top 100 win. Loss to Oklahoma is okay. Final team of Bucket F.\r\n-James Madison (computer- 15): JMU picks up a bad loss to App State. They still have a quality win over Liberty, but Liberty I go back and forth on if Liberty should be considered quality for reasons listed below.\r\n-UTSA (computer- 21): The blowout loss to Texas is their only one, and they've won otherwise, but in those wins they 5 games that came down to the wire. \r\n\r\n_______________\r\n\r\nDrops: Oregon (12), James Madison (14), Auburn (17), North Dakota State (19), Iowa (20), USC (25)\r\n\r\n-Oregon (computer- 37): I have defended Oregon's resume despite miserably failing the eye test all year, and they finally put me out of my misery. They still have 3 quality wins, over Boise State, USC, and Nebraska, but none are great wins, and the 3 losses are unrankable now. But if they beat Northwestern somehow we may be right back here. They are still the best 3 loss team by far.\r\n-Auburn (computer- 46): Auburn has a quality win over Georgia, but 3 losses. Last week Baylor was considered a quality win but that's no more, which will hurt them down the stretch. But like Oregon, if they beat Ole Miss we may be having this conversation again.\r\n-North Dakota State (computer- 26): They have looked good most of the year, and have a quality win over Air Force, but taking a 2nd loss is the end for them.\r\n-Iowa (computer- 41): This team is disgusting. They have a quality win over Michigan, but the loss to Minnesota is really bad.\r\n-USC (computer- 33): No quality wins, and the blowout loss to Wisconsin sends them tumbling. They also have 3 close wins against bad teams that look bad. \r\n\r\n_______________________\r\nOther teams of note:\r\n\r\n-Oklahoma (computer- 34): They have 2 quality wins over New Mexico and Texas, but the 3 losses are rough, and the Michigan loss specifically will hold them down.\r\n-Nebraska (computer- 30): No quality wins and the Oregon loss is looking rougher\r\n-Liberty (computer- 24): Same story as last week. They only have the 1 loss to JMU, but their best win is Coastal Carolina, who is 2-5 and 112 in the computer. \r\n", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 7, "handle": "miami", "name": "Miami Hurricanes" }, "rationale": "Miami finds their way to #1, but mostly by default cause everyone else is losing.

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.

General Notes: Methodology: FIRST layer (computer portion): SP+, opponents\u2019 SP+, opponents\u2019 opponents\u2019 SP+, opponents\u2019 win %, opponents\u2019 opponents\u2019 win %. 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": 7, "handle": "miami", "name": "Miami Hurricanes" }, "rationale": "+0.

"submission_date": "2026-10-25T19:46:23.433443+00:00", "overall_rationale": "Every year 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\nTeams 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 debated whether I should even bother writing a note after last week because so many people pick and chose phrases and completely misunderstood what I was saying. The model is working as described. The caveat is that the spreads are compared after including the current weeks results. As in, given we know Texas just beat Ole Miss, how much would we expect Texas to win by. There is an argument for and against this method. On one hand, you include more information. On the other hand, the results may not reflect the severity of an upset to the extent of which you would expect. It is not \"doing the opposite\". It is not \"ignoring wins and losses\". As I described last week (even though it appears nobody bothered to read that part), the biggest issue is certainly weighting. I considered breaking my personal rule this week and adjusting the weighting scheme to be closer to a normal distribution (something like mean = .5, SD = .2, so .7 would be a SD above .9 would be two SDs and so on), but after last week I'm just not going to do that, and instead leave it for next year.\r\n\r\nLast week was actually the first time the rankings were not in the top 20 most unusual, though you would never think that.

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. In the 6 years I've ran this poll, I have often had similar top end of the poll to the CFB, with few exceptions.", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 7, "handle": "miami", "name": "Miami

still games that affected the polls here, especially in the Top 5. First off happened on Thursday where James Madison lost in OT to Appalachian State and yeah unlike last season, they won\u2019t make the Playoffs. Then we head to the Saturday Slate of games and firs off is Texas Tech going to Cincinnati where they got demolished. Then we saw Tennessee going to South Carolina where they fell. Then we saw a battle of the Top 20 between Texas and Ole Miss where Texas escaped with a win and keep their playoff hopes alive. We saw Iowa being the frauds they are and stumbled against Minnesota. USC went to Wisconsin and USC probably had a few too many to drink as they scored only a TD and lost. Utah and Houston battled it out but in the end, Utah came on top. But nothing tops BYU heading down to Orlando and Scott Frost and his UCF team found a way to beat a Ranked Team and a Top 5 Team no less. I wished he did that while at Nebraska but I digress. Overall it was a crazy weekend of games and who knows what scary games will be seen in this coming week of games since it\u2019s Halloween week.

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.

wins, and recognizes the achievement of undefeated and one-loss teams. \r\n\r\nMy contention is that losses can and should challenge priors folks have about teams from talent composites and preseason expectations. We've already seen a number of favorites get upset, and I contend that wins really do matter and losses must invite a reconsideration, or at least allow space for the teams that have not lost to rise to the top of the rankings. \r\n\r\nTeams that have close losses to challenging opponents will rise in the next weeks, and and no one is being \"punished\" for not being ranked highly. There are now only three teams who are undefeated, and only 15 one-loss teams, so these groups are pretty special! \r\n\r\nThere will continue be a lot of movement throughout the season, but these teams are the ones who have won (and not lost) in the biggest contests on the field of play so far. \r\n\r\nPerhaps more so than other submissions, I see all the conferences as being roughly equal in quality and the ballot will recognize strong performances or expectations from non-Autonomy conferences, so I include some expected conference champions or those with high expectations for the season. \r\n\r\nAgain, this will change wildly throughout the season in response to what happens on the field of play and I make an effort to avoid biases and poll inertia, even when it provides ballot submissions that differ from other national polls.

I am sad. But I am still dedicated to maintaining this poll regardless. Maybe we can beat a QB-less Pitt? Ah, who am I kidding...\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. 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. Also, power rankings are in fact considered, but not weighed heavily.\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 try to rank everyone from scratch. 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 will still be biased towards talent/recruiting rankings and give odd results, 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: Any FCS ranks are from the STATS poll. In addition, no extended write-ups beyond the top 10 - poll site crashed on me and I didn't have time to get this done sooner.

Darian Mensah still looks like an NFL-ready QB, and Malachi Toney is a top 3 receiver in the country.

The Buckeyes are perhaps the strongest team in the country per the eye test, with one notable caveat; Sayin is likely out for most, if not all, of the remaining season due to an injury he acquired in their resume-defining win over the Hoosiers in Bloomington (still weird to say that about Indiana football). USC this upcoming weekend may not quite be as formidable of a foe as expected, but West Coast trips have been quite detrimental for B1G teams making the cross-country trek, and Lincoln Riley can (almost) always rely on a potent offense.

There are some concerns, especially with the multiple turnovers by starting QB Dampier, but I really do think the Utes are the best team in the Big 12.

Combine that with the Wisconsin triumph two weeks ago looking better and the 2nd-best SOR in the nation, and UCLA moves into the top 5 for the first time this season (and inside the AP top 10 for the first time since 2022). Even without their original starting QB in Nico Iamaveala, the Bruins have kept rolling and now look primed for not only a potential playoff berth, but perhaps also a flight to Indianapolis for what appears to be the final B1G Title game... for now.

The bad news is that Josh Hoover is leading a horribly inefficient offense that cannot move the ball through the air with any sort of consistency (unless that consistency is consistently awful, like the 2nd half against Michigan this past weekend). Becker and Marsh are clearly talented receivers, and the trenches are stocked full of talent allowing a skilled runningback room plenty of gaps to run and stifling opposing offenses, but good god is their attack abysmal. This needs to be rectified before it proves fatal, like it did against the Buckeyes earlier this month.

With their thrilling road triumph against South Carolina looking more impressive and their dramatic victory over LSU at home, there's a lot to like from the results shown in the first year under head coach Will Stein. However, I can't just ignore the blemish of a horrendous 4th quarter against the Tide go unmentioned, and so they're relegated to 9th, for now.
