c/cfb poll
Losers exposed, winners relieved. Submit your ballot so we can make sense of it all. Or don't I'm a mod not a cop.

Just voted for the first time. I based it on the AP Poll but made a number of changes based on vibes. Basically when it went below the top ten it started feeling like a crapshoot, though.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, vibes are a very real thing in cfb.

My ballot. Computer poll. Very glad the good guys are back in the #1 spot (and by a long way, apparently). Still some weirdness from the bye week (e.g. Alabama ahead of Texas) but that should straighten out next week.

who tf we gotta beat to get ranked on your poll?
-
Lol. Beat (highly) ranked teams by a lot and you'll jump up. (Beating A&M by 1 score didn't do that much.) So I'd say beat Alabama and Georgia and you're good.
In case you're really wondering why the Vols are so low: they're being dragged down by that Austin Peay game... LET'S GO PEAY!
-
Beat Bama and I bet you'll get in there.

Notre at #2. Very spicy, I like it.
I think they’re a lot better than most people give them credit for. I also think Georgia is nowhere near as good as it ranks nationally—I think your #6 makes sense here.
-
Yeah, ND has played a whopping 8 games which definitely skews the data. If you average it down to 7 games played, they would be about 12th and if you bring them to 6 it puts them about 24th. I think if I were doing this by eye test, I'd have them somewhere in the 10 to 15 range.
Georgia at 6 finally feels like the computer finally placed them in the right spot (early in the season it had them at 1 and at one point as low as 24, I think). I probably would rather see Washington ahead of them rather than USC, though.

While I appreciate you ranking my Aggies all the way up at 10, I definitely don't see how we deserve that.
-
Yeah, I keep wondering if I made a mistake inputting the data with y'all. It always has A&M (and Texas) really high every year even when either of us underperform (which is pretty often). It must speak to the talent on our teams due to the numbers they put up and the fact they rarely have bad losses.
Looks like your computer poll and mine are built around opposite philosophies. I think it's great the community is getting a variety of methods. And we certainly need human polls/eye tests to balance out some of the weirdness our algorithms create (like JMU in the top 10??)

Sorry I was so late in getting my poll in. Had some issues to deal with at home (issues with my home, not my marriage haha. Water heater specifically)
I’m going to be honest it’s getting harder to rank teams after 15 every single week

My poll this week. Computer poll, resume-based, so your name don't matter, your "advanced stats" don't matter, only thing that matters is who you beat and who they beat:
I love this poll.
