I’ve been running a ranking formula for a few years, but this is my first season voting in a poll. I admit this week before voting I tweaked the results because I felt they were too weird. But then the poll comes out and my formula results line up fairly close(ish) with the poll results.
All that to say, I’ll be trusting my formula more moving forward.
Also, regarding UGA and USC: my formula is strongly resume based, so they don’t get ranked higher until they stop playin’ nobody, pawwwl.
