Again, I believe that this is the premier National Poll and that we are about to crown a national champion. This week’s poll will stay up at least through championship weekend as my expected reprieve is nowhere to be found.

And here’s the poll after championship weekend. It’s pretty harsh on the losers, even Ohio State, who only lost by 3 to an equal opponent… And Notre Dame sits there at #4.
Fun fact: If you run my algo in reverse chronological order, ND ends up at #15. It was kind of by design for more recent games to matter more, but I didn’t expect THAT much difference. I might play with ways to reduce that effect in the future.
