Looks like you forgot about Utah, which plummeted from 8th to unranked (T31). Oof... They're not garbage, they're just waiting for Cam Rising to come back! "Trust me bro, he'll be good to go next week" --Kyle Whittingham, probably

I blame all the chaos on myself. I didn't have time to put together a poll this week.

I have 2 big takeaways.
First, we really don't have the clarity I thought we would 4/5 games into the season. We have such an even balance of presumed weaker teams that are undefeated, and presumed strong teams with a loss, that I can't make any of it out. Roughly teams 9-35 all have legitimate claims that they should be ranked in the top 15. I know that this is supposed to get clearer every week, but it hasn't. I feel more unsure every week.

Second, Boise State is is the most devalued team in our poll. That team looks very good right now. With the rest of their schedule, UNLV is the only ranked game I see the rest of the way. It is possible they don't move up very much. It really is a loss to a top 4 team hurting them (but I guess Ole Miss and Georgia have the same complaint right now).

To the naked eye:

  • Lots of movement in the top 10. I knew there was chaos last week, but I think the domino effect was pretty major in most ballots
  • Missouri jumps 11 spots? For what? For not almost losing to Vandy 2 weeks in a row? They were on a bye y'all
  • Ole Miss drops 14 for losing to an unranked Kentucky (they still poll above the Wildcats), seems fair.
  • Georgia drops 11 spots for losing to the third ranked tide though? (Georgia was ranked 7th when they played)
  • Reports of UNLV's death were greatly exaggerated.
  • UNLV and Indiana just about earned a banner spot along with BYU, hang in there y'all
  • UT BOWL IS OFF
  • Penn State and Oregon finally earning some votes after a sluggish start to their respective seasons
  • Illinois gets a quality win, moving up 2 spots after losing
  • Army & Navy both getting votes, hopefully setting us up for an awesome game at the end of the season (Go Navy, Beat Army!)

Yeah, Georgia's drop is in part due to my poll. It's my first week submitting and my computer poll is really down on Georgia atm. I think it has them in the low 30's right now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

No worries! I've been submitting a computer poll in past weeks and missed it this week, so the overall poll is probably not too imbalanced. Mine also has Georgia low (had them 40 last week and they kept that spot this week).

More data is always better, so I'll make sure to get mine in next week and hope even more join in!

Don't confuse my bewilderment at the statistics with displeasure at the results lol, I ain't a fan of the dogs these days. Happy to have your ballot!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Sorry to have missed this one! I've been so swamped with work and personal stuff at the same time I haven't been able to keep up with CFB as much as I'd like. ~~It is nice to see a presumably all-human poll, though.~~ (edit: nevermind, I just read the other comments)

I'll update the banner and sidebar shortly.

FWIW, this is what my ballot (purely a computer ranking) would have been:
