Our top ten saw fewer upsets than the AP, but we still had some. Who will be on the banner after the dust settles for week 1? You can help decide here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8NFsNvzr51rjxe5WE_WRWbrhkAMrX6pWjex1dacaiplQSsQ/viewform?usp=header

Finally got around to making an algorithm. Methodology: Combine team W-L record with "best win"; helps to neuter complications with teams having played a different number of games. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of data yet, so there's not a lot to differentiate 1-0 teams from one another.

The algorithm gives me:

  • 1: Iowa State, by a small margin (they beat someone who also beat someone else)
  • 2-T: Arizona
  • 2-T: Kansas
  • 4-T: 80-something-way tie

Observations:

  • It has South Alabama above Alabama
  • Hawai'i is also above Alabama

After some human-bias-led tie-breaking:

  1. Iowa State
  2. Kansas
  3. Arizona
  4. an Ohio State
  5. LSU

...

  1. Texas Tech

It has South Alabama above alabama

So what's the problem here?
