a month ago by m0d0fm15ch13f to c/cfb

Three games in and my poll is starting to make a little sense. It's based on a new computer poll I made up. If you beat a team, you "earn" their wins. Lose and you get their losses. Sprinkle on some math and repeat until it stabilizes. Here's my ballot.

  1. Texas
  2. Duke
  3. Ole Miss
  4. Miami
  5. Michigan
  6. Indiana
  7. Notre Dame
  8. Alabama
  9. Florida
  10. USC
  11. UTSA
  12. Boise State
  13. Mississippi State
  14. Kansas State
  15. Penn State
  16. UCLA
  17. Pittsburgh
  18. Tulsa
  19. Virginia Tech
  20. James Madison
  21. Memphis
  22. App State
  23. South Florida
  24. Cincinnati
  25. Oregon

As last year, combines W-L % with "best win" - helps neutralize against cases where teams have played a different number of games. Does not take previous season into account.

Had to update from last year to include Sac state, and ND state. I hope those are the only 2?

Apparently, my algorithm is not impressed by #68 Ohio State. #33 Kentucky is the highest rated team that has a loss. ND State making the rankings in their first season. Also, I believe that they hold the best winning percentage since changing sub-divisions, at 100%

My ballot. Pure computer poll. Now that we are fully in the transfer portal era, I don't do preseason calculations anymore. Which means it is simply additive, so USC in the top spot is a bit misleading. But I've always stubbornly felt that averaging results by number of games played isn't really fair. (What if the season were to end all of a sudden? The 2020 season kind of put that to the test.)
