    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.

    1. Oregon
    2. Texas
    3. BYU
    4. Pittsburgh
    5. Miami (FL)
    6. Indiana
    7. Penn State
    8. Iowa State
    9. Army
    10. Texas Tech
    11. Navy
    12. Liberty
    13. Kansas State
    14. Texas A&M
    15. Clemson
    16. LSU
    17. Nebraska
    18. Boise State
    19. Notre Dame
    20. SMU
    21. Syracuse
    22. Alabama
    23. James Madison
    24. Ohio State
    25. UL Monroe

    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.
