Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 2685611, member: 2585"] Been trying to decide whether or not to post this all week... and decided to even though a.) It's pretty nerdy and b.) It's way early - so less games, less data = more fluctuation week to week. This will get more accurate with less fluctuation week to week as Bill adds more data (games). Usually by week 4 things are ironed out. (For example, we jumped up in the rankings by a bunch after WMU and then dropped back after a dominate appearance vs Wagner. The only reason I can come up with was that Michigan destroyed WMU last week making our defense look even more putrid. It also factors in the previous years ranking, which is not good news for our D.) Anyways - This uses [URL='https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2018/9/9/17837688/ncaa-football-rankings-2018-week-3']S&P+ by Bill Connelly[/URL].
