Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 3094747, member: 2585"] I’ve decided to make my hobby of keeping track of this stuff on the side public again this year. Last year I had more data to work from as Bill Connelly was putting it all into one big google spreadsheet. He’s been hired over at the mothership and is being a little more coy with his numbers (thanks, ESPN). Here’s what he has to say about his rankings and why I like them, even though some here pooh-pooh them: Until he adds special teams info back in, I’m leaving it off. We know ours is the best anyways. Info in parenthesis is the week before. (I used to include last years final numbers too, but it’s baked into Bill’s rankings.) Last note - since there has only been one game, the data on CFB this season is so small, it’s highly dependent on last years results and recruiting rankings. As the season goes on it gets closer to a a true representation.
