ColombianInIowa24	25	Honestly was a bit surprised they were the last one-loss team in. Mostly has to do with the low penalty of a loss to Texas, even if it was a bloodbath. They still successfully challenged MSU for the spot in multiple simulations and by points alone outdo competition. Since the AP poll is out, I can talk about omissions too! First, Georgia (#38). Nice, cool rivalry game but honestly eh. They were doing terrible at the beginning and still have the Kentucky showing to answer for. So my model can't find a reason to rank them. Next, Michigan. Have they looked convincing at all? No. But we rank them because everyone else is worse so far. Not the model. It sees nothing to differentiate them in their tier and they remain just outside at (#29). Same with USC. No reason to believe they are solid just yet (#30). I have not a single qualm with not ranking the overrated (#45) LSU either. Notre Dame however seems unfairly punished to me sitting at #53, but the model is king. Again Clemson has yet to show anything solid (like many others) and sits at #51. Utah (#49) is explained due to a bad loss. Oklahoma (#50) because they barely beat Auburn or anyone tbh. Kansas State (#47) needs to do more after that mutilation by BYU to convince. Louisville (#54), like Notre Dame is punished too much imo.
