So you just said that you were "left behind" inferring that the teams that left moved up. Now you're claiming they moved down...you're an odd fellow.

I mock you for leaving us behind. You paid good money to join the same conference you've been in. We will pass you and your tired conference by soon. Enjoy your stay on our board.

pray tell how you will do that with a pitiful tv deal that will get WORSE as ours gets better?

RE: Marshall, CSU, ECU in that order...
This same poll has:
3-3 Florida at 36th
3-4 Texas at 58th ahead of several P5 teams with winning records
Arizona's range is 8th to 28th.
Stanford's range is 21st to 51st.

The range of Marshall's ranking is ridiculous. Who in their right mind would rank Marshall 10th or 15th right now?

An unbiased person.... or computer. Don't hate because you are behind.

Except I can come up with a formula that puts ECU in the top 10, and Marshall in the bottom 10 and have a computer calculate it. A person still made it.

Do you really think Florida is 36th, or Texas top 70?

Overall composites

CSU 28
ECU 33


So now that it appears ECU is falling behind, CSU needs to have our attention. We need boise to win out to be the champion to keep CSU out. These are polls the committee will actually use in their data, as these polls do not have initial rankings before competition (no preseason poll). Those fake good wins and that bad loss factors in with the computers.

I hate to break the bad news to you but the Playoff Committee has specifically said they will not be using computer polls or rankings in their decision making process…..

"Data
Selection Committee members will have a wealth of information including review of video, statistics and their own expertise to guide them in their deliberations. They will emphasize obvious factors like win-loss records, strength of schedule, conference championships won, head-to-head results and results against common opponents. The playoff group has retained SportSource Analytics to provide the data platform for the committee’s use. While the details of the platform have not been finalized, it is anticipated that it will include countless pieces of statistical information for every Football Bowl Subdivision team. It will also include general information such as each team’s opponents’ record and opponents’ opponents’ records. The platform will allow the committee members to compare and contrast every team on every level possible.

It should be noted that the committee will not use a single data point such as the Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) that is used for NCAA championships."

Also you are giving the computer polls way too much credit as well….Teams do not start from zero, they need a statistical base to start from at the beginning of the season…Where does this info come from at the start of the season? Well in most cases the initial rating is based on what a team accomplished the previous season so yes there is an initial bias in most of these computer polls at the start season based on how a team finished last season. Most of these computers rankings will tell you that it takes some time throughout the season for the numbers to come in line…Why is that? Because it starts out based on information from the previous season.
True about computers at the start of the season, but not 8 weeks in. After 5-6 weeks there is enough current season data for any starting rating data to no longer be included. The same cannot be said for human polls, which is why there should be no polls period before October.
