    For the fun of it, my computer algorithm’s bottom 11, with human tie-breaker:

    137 - UCLA
    136 - UMass
    135 - Akron
    134 - San Jose State
    133 - Sam Houston
    132 - Eastern Michigan
    131 - Western Michigan
    130 - THE Miami
    129 - San Jose State
    128 - Virginia Tech
    127 - Norte Dame
    

    (It’s 137 because “1-AA Team” placeholder gets a spot)

    Kansas State barely misses the list, with their 3-point win over a 1-AA team.







  • Finally got around to making an algorithm. Methodology: Combine team W-L record with “best win”; helps to neuter complications with teams having played a different number of games. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of data yet, so there’s not a lot to differentiate 1-0 teams from one another.

    The algorithm gives me:

    • 1: Iowa State, by a small margin (they beat someone who also beat someone else)
    • 2-T: Arizona
    • 2-T: Kansas
    • 4-T: 80-something-way tie

    Observations:

    • It has South Alabama above Alabama
    • Hawai’i is also above Alabama

    After some human-bias-led tie-breaking:

    1. Iowa State
    2. Kansas
    3. Arizona
    4. an Ohio State
    5. LSU

    1. Texas Tech

    He’s probably been out of the public eye because he’s undergoing a heart plant surgery, sourced from one of his concentration camps. Yeah, a horribly dark thing to say, but it doesn’t seem as far fetched as it would have been 8 months ago
