[QUOTE="Milwaukee, post: 247372, member: 1428"] Not a very good indicator when the phrase "about the same number" is used multiple times, and especially when it's directly tied to the phrase "the same number of games most FBS teams have played". I'm not sold on this Colley fella. [LIST=1] [*]Selecting only games involving two FCS teams, rank the FCS teams using the normal Colley Matrix system. [*]Form groups of FCS teams. [LIST] [*]Determine the average number of games played by FBS teams. [*]Starting at the top of the ranked list of FCS teams, begin adding to the group until the number of games that [I]group[/I] has played against FBS is about the same number of games most FBS teams have played so far this season. [*]When the group is "full," move to the next group and repeat previous step. [*]Avoid the problem that the last group may be underpopulated by iteratively "demoting" teams from other groups until the distribution of FBS games played by each FCS group is fairly even. [/LIST] [*]We now have groups of FCS teams that have played about the same number of games against FBS as most FBS teams have played this season. [*]Add these groups into the list of FBS teams. [*]Rank the FBS teams plus the FCS groups as normal with the Colley Matrix ranking system. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
