| Last week's ballot | ||
- Dane swings and misses with Houston as they got upset by UCF. That'll change
- The Top 4 could be on a constant rotation week by week and they would all have legitimate arguments
- USC falls out of Winfield's ballot because they got pounded in 2 of 3 losses and lost to Washington in their third
- Dane's no ranking of Stanford kills the Cardinal

Winfield...
I don’t think Dane has even looked at his ballot yet.
This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere. Explain again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.

haha maybe
I thought i saw some changes but didn’t dive into it very deeply
The college football season is so fragile. It's like a glass ball being pushed around from stadium to stadium by a rhinoceros.

Should we wait then?
I’d rather see the correct combined poll before pointing out anything.
But here’s a preview: Stanford, Stanford, Stanford. That team is running on all cylinders and is in complete tune with itself. They might win out.
Corey Zickefoose: I think they should still be able to play football, regardless. Tennessee is my place. You know, it's my football team.
Reporter: Even after they put a gun in your face, you say let them play football?
Corey Zickefoose: Yeah. It's Tennessee. That's the way it is sometimes.
Welcome to the SEC!

I swear I saw he updated the google doc
Just begin discussing amongst yourselves

Ok
Bird, you really are holding onto that whole undefeated thing aren’t you? Do you honestly believe that Boise St. is a better team than GT? I would have GT over Boise St. based on the simple fact that GT’s SoS is ridiculously better than Boise St. no matter which way you look at it.
Other than that, I really wish I could point to something that would definitively push Stanford up further, but some early faltering is keeping them in the middle of the pack right now. I’ve watched them play and they are just plain efficient all around and I doubt they will lose another game. I’d bet they could beat at least seven more teams ahead of them right now.

I think we're the best
but if I put us at #1, I’d be called crazy

Haha
Maybe, but probably not by many of your readers here. I mean, we are supposed to be somewhat biased towards our team aren’t we?

honestly
who is hotter than Cincinnati and GT offensively right now? Not many. Our defenses ain’t great but who wants to watch a 9-6 championship game?

agreed
I’m sure some of those teams above us are hoping that things continue the way they are just so they don’t have to play us.

Bird must think Stanford is really good....
because he ranked them twice, at #15 and #19.
Also, after quickly looking it over, some things didn’t seem right. Checking some of the math, it looks like your ballots haven’t been combined properly to yield an overall ranking, unless the method you’re using is something other than what I expect. I assume that what you’re doing is giving 1 point for an individual ranking of 25, 2 for a ranking of 24, etc., up to 25 points for a number 1, then points combined, and teams ranked in descending order.
Assigning points like that, Arizona at #25 has 9 points, but BYU at #24 has only 5, and #23 Navy only 8. #22 Miami has 18 points, then USC and Oregon State are presumably tied at #20 with 19, but then #19 Wisconsin has only 18.
I didn’t look any further than that, but am I just totally not getting it? Seems out of whack.

damn this rough draft
Winfield prematurely posted it big time. Blame him for my mistake.
System takes average of all our votes. If we didn’t vote for a co-voter’s team, that team receives a rank of 30th by the other bloggers towards its average. The averages are ranked. Ties are decided by standard deviation. More agreed upon teams go above less agreed upon, obviously. It’s not the most intuitive system but it’s what we went with at the start of the season.

Can anybody offer a justification for Utah in the top 20 (or in the rankings at all)? They have one win against a team with a winning record, and I don’t think that OT win over Air Force (or keeping the score close with Oregon back in September) is quite worth putting them ahead of teams like Iowa who have actually beaten someone, style points or no.

Wisconsin over Fresno State, Northern Illinois, Wofford, (@ Hawaii to come)
PSU over Temple, Syracuse, Akron, Eastern Illinois
Fan of: Cards, Blues, Yellow Jackets, Rams, Wolverines, and Blazers.
