Iowa State was me. Explanation: https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/comment/19186304
They get credit for beating a team that has a > .000 record (Kansas State at .500), and a tad of extra credit for doing it on a neutral field.
My rankings, whether algorithm or hand-picked attempt to avoid results from previous seasons, and try to only look at the current season’s results.
I’m curious about Maryland too. Maybe something to do with margin of victory?
Yeah, that is sound logic for a computer poll. Really just week one jank that will even itself out. Although, Iowas State being #1 wouldn’t be bad…
Yeah, that’s part of it. Though you’ll notice it wasn’t the largest MOV last week, by a long shot. I did put in guardrails, so running up the score won’t impact the ratings so much.
