    My ballot. Computer poll. I realized this week that in my haste to calculate last week’s results, I forgot to make adjustments to all the teams that were on bye and thus over-ranked each of them. D’oh. I corrected it for this week, so that’s why the change values will not line up with what I posted last week.

    I am amused that despite Alabama’s blowout win, they only move up one place (the computer definitely predicted that result, too, as it is really a power-rating kind of formula). Similar situation with Ole Miss and Georgia (it did not think very highly of the dogs). Virginia Tech baffles me, holding the same position for 3 weeks like a stuck pixel.

    Full ranking:

      My poll really doesn’t like Georgia either! It has been begrudgingly moving them up with each win. But they drop 10 spots after losing to the #11 team (according to my poll), behind five 2-loss teams and one 3-loss team.

      My poll must not be impressed by their margin of victory (vs expectations) or something, even though that is a pretty small portion of the equation. Most of the rating comes from a modified ELO that only cares about win/loss.

    Unsurprisingly, there was a lot of movement in my poll. Miami, Georgia, LSU, 💩sburgh, and Minnesota drop 10 or more places, with the last three dropping out of the Top 25. But this biggest loser is… Cincinnati (-27) after losing to WVU (more on that later).

    The biggest winners will be no surprise: GT, UCLA, WVU, Rutgers, Kansas, and Duke all jumping 20+ spots. My home team of WVU makes an surprisingly large leap of 23 spots to 41st place with their win over then #38 Cincinnati (5-3). I’m torn about this win, because I don’t want to give our AD any excuses to keep Neal Brown any longer than we need to…
