A wild and wacky week last week. One with ballot implications for sure

    I feel like USC is way artificially high, even with the extra game. I think they’ve only lost big games and only won cupcakes?

      I’d agree with that assessment. If I were doing it by eye, they’d definitely be lower. But one of my main objectives when I created the model was to reward teams that schedule tough opponents. USC has Notre Dame plus their 9 P5 conference foes and no FCS teams. (Ironically, the Notre Dame blowout loss is the game dragging them down the most.)
