Dullard's College Football - Week 4, 2006

[dullard]

Teams move drastically in the first few weeks. For example, Duke, who didn't play at all, dropped 50 places. The computer finally linked Duke and Duke's initial opponents in with the rest. So that the average of that group does not necessarilly equal the average of all teams.

Where do you get this data in tabular form?

Or do you have to compile it yourself?

I used to compile it myself (a long boring hour every Sunday morning). Then I switched to copy/paste from ESPN.com/the NCAA website combined with some manual fixing of errors. Finally Sciencewhiz here on ATOT showed me the light:

PR Wolfe's listing which is used by the BCS computers I think.

They aren't nearly as good in my program as they were last week. But hey, at least they get a week to shine in the media. Your next few games will be quite trying. If they make it through those games unscathed, then Rutgers definately deserves a place in the top 25.

I just love these headlines. I graduated maybe 4-5 years ago from there when Rutgers was going through its 20+ losing streak (including to some I-AA teams). We sat nicely at the very last place in one of those years too. Rutgers will forever be my underdog team but it's a great site to see them in a positive headline.

This article cracks me up too.

Rutgers -- yes Rutgers -- is ranked

No joke. Rutgers is ranked.

The Scarlet Knights, long a college football laughingstock, moved into The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in 30 years on Sunday.

I'm suprised no one has complained about Georgia's ranking yet. Out of 45 other rankings, you have them second lowest.

Miami and Houston should be a good game coming up. I can't see anyway that Vegas would have Miami the underdog, but you have them as 17 point favorites (not counting HFA).

I'm sure you know this already, but, I usually don't post my ratings this early because teams aren't connected yet. If during the beginning of the season, teams A, B, and C play each other and teams X, Y, and Z play each other, how do teams A and Z compare? I think most other rankings use last year's results to compare A and Z. My system says that the average of A, B, and C must equal the average of X, Y, and Z until there is a link (assuming all are in the same division). Thus, until the links are created (if A, B, or C plays one of the X, Y, or Z teams), I'll have some abnormalities. Once all teams play ~3 games, enough links are created and enough teams are in each cluster, then the average assumption becomes quite close to the final result.

So far, several teams have only played 2 games, so there just isn't enough data. The big outliers should come back towards the mean of those other programs in the next week or two.

Yes, if I recall, Rutgers kept Cal from going winless one year...

Speaking of Rutgers...
