From their website:
The transitive property of inequality says that if A is greater than B, and B is greater than C, then A is greater than C. It works when comparing coaching salaries. Fundamentally, when one team beats another team, they are declared better than that team. So, if Team A beat Team B, and Team B beat Team C, then Team A is better than Team C. That is why, after one team beats another team, all pollsters feel compelled to vote the loser one or more places below the winner of the game. It’s flawless thinking, applied to the perfect game: College Football.
If you look to the very right (Div I - FBS), you'll see the poll I'm referring to. For ease, I've pasted it below.
1 E Michigan
2 Clemson
3 Tulsa
4 Tennessee
5 North Carolina
6 Utah St
7 Tulane
8 ULM
9 Arkansas
10 Houston
11 Arizona
12 Arkansas St
13 San Diego St
14 Nevada
15 UT San Antonio
16 San Jose St
17 Fresno St
18 Wake Forest
19 Oklahoma St
20 Rice
21 Minnesota
22 Utah
23 Michigan St
24 N Illinois
25 California
If you go to the site, you can click on the numbers (right of the team names) and it breaks down why/how they obtained their position in the poll.

I think we should start b*tching about the selection committee f*^%ing us over now, rather than waiting for December. Let's beat the holiday rush.

If you stretch it out far enough, you may find that Kevin Bacon is the National Champion.

Does that mean if a Huskie fan has sex with another Huskie fan, it's considered incest? Or, would that be bestiality? I'm sort of confused here. Will the question "Are you a Huskie fan?" need to be answered before copulation? Can somebody please help me here? I'm afraid my sex counselor at the Grotto may not be able to answer my queries.

You need a new counselor then. Have you tried Inga? She's supposed to be a good "counselor".

Yeah, I agree. I think with the rationale they're applying, they should only do it 2 degrees MAX. Otherwise, it's just weird sh!t. Plus, they apply better wins & better losses too much to go along with it. Hence, the Emoos #1. That alone should be a red flag to can their concept.

I'm pretty sure this was done in complete satire. Here's some of the quotes on their help page:
"It’s flawless thinking, applied to the perfect game: College Football. "
"The ranking uses the highest ranked beatable team. Everyone in the polls ranked above this team is clearly invincible"
