Corrected. Thanks. Pac-12 hasn't been fully digested yet.

Up to #12

Up to #12

Actually up to #9 this morning on Massey

 

[LuciousBDragon]

Wisky, Goophs, Debby, and even just maybe the purple-kitties ranked when we play them would sure be helpful to the playoff committee.

The best way to impress everyone, even the vaunted CFP committee, is to keep winning. I'm in favor of that one.

I was referring to the Composite, which is still #12, but pretty much every poll is looking sweet nowadays.

 

[The Big Z]

USC has beaten San Jose, Fresno, Louisiana and the worst team in the Big Ten Rutgers 42-35. And lost at home to the 1 decent team they played in Oregon. Explain them being where they are.

Sagarin is supposed to be a computer model, so that shouldn't count for anything.

 

[AFM22]

Does Sagarin still have Michigan at 2-2 or did they change it to 3-1?

Iowa at 13, Michigan at 26

How is Penn St @ 20 with a home loss to Wisconsin?

It does because the computer models have to start somewhere at the beginning of the year and the starting point is usually roster talent, which is totally about brand. Biggest brands get the most talent.

Right. This is why most of these models and rankings improve over the course of the year as more current data becomes available. The best ones also tend not deviate so far from the mean as time goes on.
