CSD College Football Computer Rankings Week 3 – Oklahoma up to #4

FAQ 

Q: Why is Miami still top 15 when they got killed?
A: The model is specifically built to be resistant to one bad game, if the trend continues, the ‘Canes will fall further.

Q: Do FBS vs FCS games affect the model
A: NO, as you can see, Florida State is still in the top 35. If you are wondering why, it is really hard to model for the variance in opponent quality in the FCS. This is something that S&P+ does, but you get things like Auburn moving down 11 spots despite beating Alabama State 63-9.

Q: How is Michigan ahead of Notre Dame?
A: This model is PREDICTIVE, NOT BACKWARDS LOOKING. After almost losing to Ball State, the Fighting Irish fell back in my rankings while Michigan stayed about where they were. If it makes you feel better, pretty much every other college football computer model also has Michigan ahead of the Irish (e.g. S&P+, Sagarin, etc…)
