[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 963399, member: 1555"] Here’s an interesting ranking he doesn’t use: [URL]https://www.colleyrankings.com/rank.html[/URL] In this system, where .5 is average, GT now sits at .54, good for 67th. His ranking system was designed to converge on a valid national champ at season’s end, or to be useful in comparing playoff-eligible teams. He has a link to a paper explaining his mathematics in great detail. It's kinda like the transitive property on steroids. Colley’s is unlike most of the others in that it just uses current season wins and losses, and thus starts with nothing. This makes it less useful early in the season (Then again, what poll is?). At the same time, it claims that as an asset since it doesn’t use preseason or historical data as a bias, which has been a frequent critique of the current system where last year’s champion always gets the benefit of the doubt, and can prevent teams that don’t start highly ranked from ever getting into the playoff, regardless of record. In the modern game, given the transfer portal and frequent coaching turnover, those biases are less useful than 10-20 years ago. [/QUOTE]
