[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 967968, member: 1555"] By way of explanation, Colley's ranking is a formula based strictly on W-L. It was the subject of a mathematical paper by Wes Colley, Ph.D. It contains no human biases, such as "It Just Means More", "Eye Test", or "[B]They were really good last year[/B]". It assigns a value to your wins and losses based on the wins and losses of the teams you played. So at a season's start, it cannot provide meaningful data. Towards the end of the year, it provides a pretty good "deservedness" ranking for the CFP. Miami now has 2 losses, one of them to a team ranked 66th. I don't know if you've examined Georgia's schedule so far this year, but Colley ranks it 137th so far. They have beaten no currently ranked teams. Their best win was against Kentucky which Colley currently has ranked at 47th. Also, aside from Kentucky, they have struggled to beat mediocre-to-bad teams. Personally, I would put them in the top 10, but not the top 4 right now based on their struggles. Their schedule gets a little tougher from here on out so it will give us better data. In contrast, Michigan has dominated everyone they've played. For us, 66th seems about right with a 3-3 record. Right in the middle of FBS. We've beaten and lost to some decent teams. The Miami win is offset by the BG loss. [/QUOTE]
