A wild and wacky week last week. One with ballot implications for sure
A wild and wacky week last week. One with ballot implications for sure
My ballot. Computer poll.
A clear top 2 have emerged, and I find it really interesting that spots 3 through 12 are all quite close so that order is liable to shake up in these last few weeks. Keep in mind Notre Dame and USC have played an extra game so they are still artificially high.
Full ranking:
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.)
