college football poll - week 2

Cutting the poll off at the top 23 teams today since there are a ton of teams tied for 24th place with a score of 1.0.

At the top, both future Big Ten teams from Southern California have 3.5 points. USC has actually notched up three wins, and their win over Stanford, who beat Hawaii, gives them another half point. UCLA’s path is a little more complicated. They have only two wins, but each of them were over teams who have wins over teams with wins (Coastal Carolina → Jacksonville State → UTEP and San Diego State → Ohio → Florida Atlantic), counting as 1.75 points each.

1 - UCLA (2-0) (3.5)
   - USC (3-0) (3.5)
3 - Texas (2-0) (3.4375)
4 - Miami (2-0) (3.25)

college football poll - week 1

We’re back for the 2023 “coefficient of relationship” college football rankings!

It’s early enough in the season that things are pretty much meaningless. USC is the only team with two FBS wins (San Jose State and Nevada), and so they’re #1. Auburn and SMU both have wins over teams that won in week 0 (Auburn beat UMass who beat New Mexico State, and SMU beat Louisiana Tech who beat Florida International). And then we have a gajillion-way tie for 4th among everyone else who’s won so far.

1 - USC (2-0) (2.0)
2 - Auburn (1-0) (1.5)
   - SMU (1-0) (1.5)
