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": [ {

1.\r\n\r\nNotre Dame, Georgia, UCLA. Not much separating these in my mind, Ultimaltey Notre Dame has the best win of the bunch but I could honestly talk myself into ordering them in any way.\r\n\r\nMiami, BYU, Indiana. Was pretty tough ranking these 3, BYU still has the best win in the country, and hard to get too mad at them for a loss on the road to the number 1 team in the county. But that UCF loss is rough, so Miami takes the top spot here. Indiana might have but with Northwestern losing Iowa they kind of still need that signature win.\r\n\r\nWake Forrest, Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Texas Tech. This was a tough group to order, they've all had strong seasons, but have all also had some real sizable blemishes. Ultimately h2h between Texas, Tenneseee and Alabama made their order clear but figuring out where Wake Forrest and Tech figured into that was a challenge. Another group I could put in a different order very easily.\r\n\r\nHouston, USC, Iowa, Arizona. Huge win for Iowa this week, but out of this group Houston still has the biggest win, and best loss, especially after Ohio State bombed against Oregon making USC's victory look a little less impressive.\r\n\r\nBoise, New Mexico: Kind of surprised these guys are this high, but I just couldn't anyone below them who I could justify higher. \r\n\r\nKentucky, SMU, Duke, Ok St, Oregon, OSU, South Carolina-so 6 of my teams ranked 15-25 lost this weekend, most of them in blowout fashion, so kind of made it a little hard figuring out the bottom of these rankings. Kentucky doesn't really have that big signature win, and the two best teams they played beat them like a drum with no difficulty. SMU's coming off a bad week to Syracuse, but man was that a big response against Virginia tech. Duke's quielety been having a stellar season. OK State, Oregon, Ohio State is pretty stragight forward head to head. Could've thrown Illinois in there, though the circle of suck between them, Oregon and Ohio State kind of left them the odd man out. Probably my 26th team, but just barely gave South Carolina the edge. \r\n\r\nHM in no particular order: Ole Miss, LSU, Missouri, Illinois, Northwestern, Louisville, Wisconsin, Memphis.

ratings. I use the power rating to compute 5) a strength of record (SOR)/resume rating and 6) a rating that gives very small merits and demerits for particular results (e.g merits for postseason wins or beating a top 15 power rating team; demerits for getting blown out by a team with a similar power rating).\r\n\r\nI normalize the six ratings and combine them in a weighted average to determine the final rating which increasingly values the SOR component the further into the season. The weights for the other ratings are static during the season. The result is not normalized, so the best possible final rating is 1.000 if a team is #1 in all six ratings.\r\n\r\nDropped: Florida (20 -> 26), Missouri (21 -> 27), Northwestern (23 -> 30), UTSA (24 -> 38)\r\n\r\nNext 10: Florida (0.791), Missouri (0.786), Oklahoma (0.779), Liberty (0.774), Northwestern (0.770), Auburn (0.767), Oklahoma State (0.766), North Texas (0.764), Louisiana Tech (0.758), Illinois (0.754)\r\n\r\nRanking violation % (% of played games with winner ranked below loser): 18.33%\r\nTop 25 ranking violation %: 12.07%\r\n\r\nMy poll continues to love Alabama.

I do think the SEC is far and away the best conference this year but losing two games or losing to a 5-4 unranked team is not #1 material. So Alabama and Georgia would be in the 5-7 range with Indiana. My poll also likes Boise St way more than I do.\r\n\r\nStill have too many violations especially ones that are right next to each other in rank (Georgia > Alabama, Tennessee > Kentucky, Oregon > Boise St, Ole Miss > LSU and two apart Ohio St > Iowa).

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":

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.

Ole Miss, LSU, and Oklahoma State have a loss allowance over Liberty. 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": 48, "handle": "utah", "name": "Utah Utes" }, "rationale": "+3.

"ballot_type": "Computer", "submission_date": "2026-11-09T02:03:16.937996+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 will just keep this part from Week 9 as a permanent note. 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\nI find it fascinating how much this ranking likes the SEC. The Colley matrix rates the SEC really highly right now. If you look at the conference ratings right now, they sit at .87 compared to the next best (Big 12) at .71 [ACC is the lowest P4 conference at .64, for reference.]", "entries": [ { "rank": 1, "team": { "id": 7, "handle": "miami", "name": "Miami Hurricanes" }, "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": 51, "handle": "alabama", "name": "Alabama Crimson Tide" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 5, "team": { "id": 46, "handle": "ucla", "name": "UCLA Bruins" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 6, "team": { "id": 22, "handle": "texas", "name": "Texas Longhorns" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 7, "team": { "id": 48, "handle": "utah", "name": "Utah Utes" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 8, "team": { "id": 14, "handle": "wakeforest", "name": "Wake Forest Demon Deacons" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 9, "team": { "id": 26, "handle": "indiana", "name": "Indiana Hoosiers" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 10, "team": { "id": 57, "handle": "lsu", "name": "LSU Tigers" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 11, "team": { "id": 62, "handle": "tennessee", "name": "Tennessee Volunteers" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 12, "team": { "id": 43, "handle": "oregon", "name": "Oregon Ducks" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 13, "team": { "id": 34, "handle": "ohiostate", "name": "Ohio State Buckeyes" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 14, "team": { "id": 66, "handle": "byu", "name": "BYU Cougars" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 15, "team": { "id": 60, "handle": "olemiss", "name": "Ole Miss Rebels" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 16, "team": { "id": 73, "handle": "houston", "name": "Houston Cougars" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 17, "team": { "id": 56, "handle": "kentucky", "name": "Kentucky Wildcats" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 18, "team": { "id": 23, "handle": "texastech", "name": "Texas Tech Red Raiders" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 19, "team": { "id": 47, "handle": "usc", "name": "USC Trojans" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 20, "team": { "id": 109, "handle": "boisestate", "name": "Boise State Broncos" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 21, "team": { "id": 114, "handle": "newmexico", "name": "New Mexico Lobos" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 22, "team": { "id": 27, "handle": "iowa", "name": "Iowa Hawkeyes" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 23, "team": { "id": 61, "handle": "southcarolina", "name": "South Carolina Gamecocks" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 24, "team": { "id": 54, "handle": "florida", "name": "Florida Gators" }, "rationale": "" }, { "rank": 25, "team": { "id": 3, "handle": "duke", "name": "Duke Blue Devils" }, "rationale": "" } ] }, { "id": 78243, "username": "NotSoSuperNerd", "ballot_type": "Computer", "submission_date": "2026-11-08T17:16:51.557265+00:00", "overall_rationale": "Bradley-Terry rankings for the expected end-of-season win totals; Pr[A beats B] = 0.5+0.5*tanh(rA-rB).

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.

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 two teams who are undefeated, and only eight* 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.

"2026-11-10T13:50:02.395812+00:00", "overall_rationale": "GT still sucks. But at least we started firing people for it.\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. As you can see, no detailed writings this week (or next week) - I am out of town on work and have been relegated to mostly box-score watching. I'll do my best regardless.\r\n\r\n| TEAMS DROPPING OUT (DO): #15 LSU Tigers [6-3, 3-3 SEC], #21 Missouri Tigers [6-3, 3-3 SEC], #23 UTSA Roadrunners [7-2, 4-1 American], #24 Northwestern Wildcats
