Let’s go baby, I love this sport!
Here is my poll. I admit it, my bias is too big for ASU this week. I think they should be a few spots lower, but I wanted to rank ASU above Alabama for once in my life.
The bottom five are the next five in, but are ranked alphabetically.
1 Oregon
2 Ohio State
3 Penn State
4 Texas
5 SMU
6 Boise State
7 Indiana
8 Georgia
9 Notre Dame
10 Miami
11 Tennessee
12 Clemson
13 Arizona State
14 Alabama
15 BYU
16 Iowa State
17 UNLV
18 Ole Miss
19 Tulane
20 Army
21 South Carolina
22 Illinois
23 Texas A&M
24 Louisiana
25 Kansas State
Georgia Tech
Jacksonville State
Louisiana
Missouri
Syracuse
Texas 8&4 forever!
Alabama’s ranking is surprisingly stubborn considering the poll doesn’t take name/conference into consideration.

My ballot. Oregon loses the bye week to Ohio State AND Notre Dame. Notable big winners are Auburn, Florida, and Kansas. The once #9 💩sburgh continues to plummet, now at #62! BYU falls out of the Top 25, and ASU takes over for the Big 12 at #12.

My ballot. Computer poll. A little weird that Ole Miss actually moved up a spot but the grouping is incredibly tight for 4 through 7. If Penn State hadn’t struggled so much with Minnesota they would be 4th. Some major movement further down: my hated sooners rise the most spots (from 77th to 45th), followed by Michigan (from 56th to 32nd) and Florida (from 60th to 40th).

Army is pretty high for getting obliterated
I had them 5th going in. I genuinely thought they may be able to absolutely grind the game to a halt against anyone. But a 10 spot drop feels fair.

I’m interested in putting together a computer poll. I’d like to base it off of win probability charts, like what I’ve sometimes seen online.
Does anyone know of a source for this sort of data for college football? I’d love a free resource but if the cost is reasonable I may be willing to pay for one.
Something like this perhaps? The founding mod and I were looking at using this source of data to build a bot that would automate game threads but neither of us had the time and scripting know-how
I found another site that looks like it might be useful.
Has anyone here used this site before? It’s a paid service and they make you contact their sales team for pricing, so I’m a little wary of it.
This is at the very least a good thing to start with.
Thank you for sharing!
