Guess what - I'm back and this week I'm just going to submit my awful computer poll in its completeness because where is the fun in being rational.
I've modified the methodology slightly, but it's still incredibly rudimentary and it hates two loss teams which is good because I hate them too. It still really favors teams that haven't lost, but I've added some SOS and Conference Strength weight, so it kind of keeps teams in check but not really.
Some fun facts: -It rates the SEC highest of all conferences (I have each conference start out level and it adjusts their strength based on out-of-conference performance; I haven't actually looked at these records so I can't speak to the validity of it). Followed by: Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 (congrats OSU and WSU for keeping it above the Group of 5 conferences). -It thinks that Florida State has had the more difficult schedule up to this point and that Army has had the softest.
Finally someone comes out and says it, ULM is better than Tennessee!
