Week 7 c/cfb Poll
Week 7 c/cfb Poll
Make sure that you haven't repeated any teams! Honor system 1 ballot per voter per week (I don't want to collect email addresses to limit it on my end)
Upsets, overtimes and embarrassing performances, oh my! Who goes up, who goes down and who just goes?
My ballot. Computer poll. This one causes me serious emotional distress. Thankfully, Michigan plays next week while ou is on bye so they will jump back into the #1 spot.

I gotta figure out a way to sort this circle of teams:
Utah > UCLA > Washington State > Oregon State > Utah
I don't even think the pac knows how to sort themselves out
My poll this week. Computer ranking, almost entirely resume based (I'm not smart enough for advanced stats). Last week's ranking in parenthesis for comparison:
- Oklahoma (LW: 10)
- Ohio State (LW: 3)
- Penn State (LW: 5)
- Texas (LW: 1)
- Florida State (LW: 2)
- Washington (LW: 9)
- Alabama (LW: 11)
- Michigan (LW: 4)
- North Carolina (LW: 6)
- Louisville (LW: 18)
- Georgia (LW: 13)
- Oregon (LW: 17)
- Wisconsin (LW: 22)
- Wyoming (LW: NR)
- Utah (LW: NR)
- Washington State (LW: 8)
- USC (LW: 16)
- James Madison (LW: 24)
- Ole Miss (LW: 12)
- Kansas (LW: NR)
- Oregon State (LW: 15)
- Liberty (LW: NR)
- Iowa (LW: 23)
- LSU (LW: NR)
- UCLA (LW: NR)
Edit: And no, I cannot explain why Utah jumped from not ranked to 15 off of the strength of their bye week performance. What can I say, computers are weird.
I'm more interested in why JMU made a 6 position jump, I personally don't see them as a top 20 team.
Yeah them too.
Looking at the numbers, both teams jumped more because of what happened around them (7 teams that were ranked above them last week lost) than anything else.
And, in the case of JMU, a 5-0 record in a resume-based bracket goes a long way even if they're not playing strong teams. That being said, I have JMU's strength of schedule ranked 110th so far this season and projected forward as 99th through the end of the season, which ain't great. Even if they keep winning they're probably pretty close to hitting their ceiling unless lots of weirdness happens at the top of the rankings.
