Yeah there was weirdness creating it, because I use the same link it thought that it was just a cross-post I think. Which is why this week it’s a self post with a link not just a url. This should also probably be posted by a fanaticus account to make sure everyone can see it. Also ND up to 2?
The dominant win over Purdue is doing a lot of the work to buoy ND up that high, even though margin of victory/defeat caps out at +/- 50 points in the algorithm. It also doesn’t consider its own ranking of Purdue as the 2nd worst FBS team (lest it get caught in a feedback loop). A&M having been ranked when they played and the fact that both those games were on the road are also factors. But as the season goes on, early results become slightly discounted to mitigate baseless preseason AP rankings somewhat.
