    My computer really doesn’t like Ohio State (#27) and Alabama (#34) after their respective losses. I spent too much time trying to over-fit the data and get them ranked higher before realizing that my computer must not be what is wrong and instead it’s everyone who thinks that Ohio State and Alabama should be ranked in the top 25.

    Anyways, why worry about anything when you have #1ndiana?

    1. Indiana
    2. BYU
    3. Miami (FL)
    4. Oregon
    5. Iowa State
    6. Army
    7. Pittsburgh
    8. Penn State
    9. Navy
    10. Texas
    11. Tennessee
    12. Notre Dame
    13. UNLV
    14. SMU
    15. LSU
    16. Memphis
    17. Kansas State
    18. Louisiana
    19. Georgia
    20. Illinois
    21. Clemson
    22. Liberty
    23. Washington State
    24. Texas A&M
    25. Duke

    My ballot. Computer poll. I kind of expected Georgia to rank higher, but 12 spots is still a big swing. I also don’t know why Alabama isn’t dropping.

      It’s okay, my poll has Alabama at #20, that should help balance things out a bit.

      BTW, how did you format your full ranking? I can’t figure out how to get mine to do that.

        If you’re in a web browser, there should be an icon at the bottom of each comment to ‘view source’ which shows the markdown formatting. (If you’re in mobile I suppose it’s up to your client.) Feel free to copy it from my comment.

        What I do is I have a template excel spreadsheet – every other column is the pipeline character and every other column is where I paste in the ranks, changes, teams, records, and adjusted algorithm scores each week from my other spreadsheet that actually calculates the rankings. Come to think of it, I could (and should) streamline it into one spreadsheet. Anyhow, then I copy all the cells, paste into notepad to eliminate formatting, and then copy/paste that into Lemmy. It sounds like a lot but it really isn’t.

      I understand, broadly, what your methodology is, but I still find it amazing to see Pitt, Syracuse, and Boise State drop 30 ranks for having the audacity to have a bye week.

    Computer poll. It’s stickier than I thought it would be: Georgia and Tennessee didn’t rise too far, and Texas and Alabama didn’t fall too far after their big games this week. Alabama still being ranked 11 with two losses has my bama bias crying foul, but my poll doesn’t factor in name/conference recognition so that rank is coming purely from their resume (I have them as having played the 2nd hardest strength of schedule thus far).
