Human poll. Quick overview. I try to make the poll a blind resume, as in I don't care about head to head. I prefer consistency over peaks (2 wins over a mid program will rank higher than a win against a top and a loss to a bottom. ). 3. If you are 5-0 or better, you get an auto ranking.

Just for fun, because the end was really hard, here are my next 5 out, not in any particular order

Illinois, Syracuse, Texas Tech, UNLV, Washington State

This was a fun week to try and solve. I don't love a bunch of my placements, but it sure is fun.

My ballot. Computer poll. Glad to see it's giving props to Army, which was preseason #105. The way the algorithm is designed and the way a lot of G5 teams' schedules are structured, it's hard for G5 teams to get ranked (e.g. it still has Boise unranked, sitting at #35).

I'm also amused by some of the big swings over the course of the season: Wisconsin is this week's biggest mover (+40 spots) and looking back the computer had them at 14th in Week 1, all the way down to 118th in Week 4, and now back up to 33rd.

Guess what - I'm back and this week I'm just going to submit my awful computer poll in its completeness because where is the fun in being rational.

I've modified the methodology slightly, but it's still incredibly rudimentary and it hates two loss teams which is good because I hate them too. It still really favors teams that haven't lost, but I've added some SOS and Conference Strength weight, so it kind of keeps teams in check but not really.

  1. Oregon
  2. Texas
  3. BYU
  4. Pittsburgh
  5. Miami (FL)
  6. Indiana
  7. Penn State
  8. Iowa State
  9. Army
  10. Texas Tech
  11. Navy
  12. Liberty
  13. Kansas State
  14. Texas A&M
  15. Clemson
  16. LSU
  17. Nebraska
  18. Boise State
  19. Notre Dame
  20. SMU
  21. Syracuse
  22. Alabama
  23. James Madison
  24. Ohio State
  25. UL Monroe

Some fun facts: -It rates the SEC highest of all conferences (I have each conference start out level and it adjusts their strength based on out-of-conference performance; I haven't actually looked at these records so I can't speak to the validity of it). Followed by: Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 (congrats OSU and WSU for keeping it above the Group of 5 conferences). -It thinks that Florida State has had the more difficult schedule up to this point and that Army has had the softest.

Hey everyone! Sorry for being silent the first half of this season...real life got in the way of football polling. But I'm back, and I've made some changes to my algorithm from last year. The overview/highlights:

  • Fully computer poll, based primarily on the ranking of your opponents and secondarily how much your margin of victory/defeat was
  • The full season is re-run each week with the current week's rankings. So if you beat a top-10 team in Week 1, but later in the season that top-10 team isn't ranked, then that win doesn't benefit your current ranking as much as it originally did
  • Poll is agnostic towards conference, pre-season rankings, weekly AP polls, etc. There aren't any name recognition bumps here, it's purely based on resume
  • The number in parenthesis after the team's name are the behind-the-scenes points that determines the ranking (on a scale from 1 to 134), so you can get an idea of how closely some teams are ranked to each other (an how much stronger Texas is than the next team)
