Again, a few thoughts:

  • There are 4 states that begin with 'W', all of their state schools received votes, and all of them that have actual 'W' names instead of a certain cardinal direction are ranked
  • Well I suppose this is what we get for beginning to settle on a #1
  • It looks like specific tiers are beginning to emerge; The top teams (1-9ish)(you could make a case for there being two tiers here), the second tier (10ish-14ish), the teams that deserve to be ranked (15ish-21ish) and then the "I have to fill out this damn ballot somehow" teams
  • Louisville experienced the largest single week jump we've seen (Tied with week 1-2 FSU after beating LSU)
  • We need to come up with some sort of möbius strip grading scale for the PAC
  • This was our biggest poll yet (without noisy ballots)! Big thank you to anyone who submitted a ballot this week!

Yeah, the Pac have created their own mini circle of suck among the one-loss teams, so head-to-head "transitive wins/losses" no longer apply:

Oregon State > Utah > UCLA > WSU > Oregon State

The season of Wumbo is upon us...

...so Texas has more wins against c/cfb ranked opponents (#10, #23, #25) than all the teams in front of them combined (ou over #7 and tOSU over #20) and the community landed us at 7? Okay then...

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 year ago

And they probably have the highest quality loss of any 1 loss team.

I need to get around to voting next week, but it all makes me feel so overwhelmed.

I think the results look pretty good. Well done voters.

The hardest part is when you get to around 17 or so. Feel free to fill it out however you see fit, it doesn't need to be perfect!
