I don’t think anyone is going to touch BYU as long as they keep winning, at least until bowl season.

I did a little analyzing of the data, and there are currently six different components of our graph:

  • ACC, Big 12, and non-MAC G5 conferences. This component has 75 teams, which is why the poll is currently so skewed toward this group.
  • SEC
  • Big Ten
  • MAC
  • There are two Pac-12 groups! So far, the Arizona schools and USC have only played each other, so they’re still separated from the rest of the conference.
