I was thinking about doing that for my algorithm. But at the same time, if you get absolutely embarrassed in your CCG (cough Bama & BYU cough), maybe your rating should drop at least a bit...
And here's the poll after championship weekend. It's pretty harsh on the losers, even Ohio State, who only lost by 3 to an equal opponent... And Notre Dame sits there at #4.
Fun fact: If you run my algo in reverse chronological order, ND ends up at #15. It was kind of by design for more recent games to matter more, but I didn't expect THAT much difference. I might play with ways to reduce that effect in the future.

I will hold off submitting a poll until the Championship games have been played.
No real surprises here. OSU retakes the top spot, Texas A&M drops, putting them on the bubble. Pitt, SMU, and ASU drop out of the Top 25, being replaced by Navy, USF, and Iowa. ND persists at #4.
If you used this to CFP seeding, the Top 10 all make it in, with North Texas and JMU over any ACC team.

The race at the top tightens, with Indiana, Ohio State, and Texas A&M basically tied. Texas Tech falls behind slightly despite the win. Mizzou and GT are the only ones to drop out of the Top 25; Pitt and SMU take their place.
Currently, this would put the top 10 in the CFP, with North Texas and JMU taking the #11 and #12 spots, leaving the ACC without a representative. BYU and Bama are the first two out.
I don't like it ranking ND that high, and higher than all the 10-win teams. But losing early to really good teams is working in their favor.

No worries, thanks for putting the work in.
Also, I put them ahead of bama... By one spot.
One of the better scores I've gotten! I normally have at least one really bad round.

I'm still surprised how well my algo has been working, especially since it's backward looking.
I do wonder how the standings would pan out if there were 3/2/1 points for 1st/2nd/3rd place...or for each correct guess...or 1/2/3/4 point for 4/5/6/7 correct guesses... Not trying to add more to your plate, just wondering! 😂
Texas Tech jumps into 2nd, all but tied with Texas A&M and Ohio State. Bama and Texas drop as expected. But the big movement can be found in the back half and beyond. Miami, Arizona, and Mizzou shoot up into the rankings, with honorable mentions to ECU and Navy who don't quite make it in. USF, Iowa, Pitt, and Cincy plummet to 35+.
And let's not forget about North Texas, who continues to creep up, now sitting at 14! This really highlights how I built the poll for the most deserving (vs. best) teams. Do I think they are the 14th best team: probably not. But, outside of their one loss, they've won big, compensating for their relatively weak schedule. I might look into tightening the margin of victory guardrails a bit more next year, though...

And I'm not sure about Houston being ranked. I mean they lost to a bad (but improving!) WVU. Otherwise, it looks pretty reasonable to me!
Plenty of movement in my poll, as expected. Surprisingly, Texas Tech didn't get as much of a bump from the win versus BYU as I would've expected.

Who ranked Indiana so low, that Ohio State took #1 despite Indiana getting 3/4 first place votes?
It's okay, you can't always expect keep up with those big football schools. 😂
Not necessarily disagreeing, but I am curious of your reasons for having both Indiana and Texas A&M over Ohio State. Does it have to do with how many games they've played or do they just look better to you?
Nice! Let's see if I can keep this ball rolling...
My pick in bold. Rating according to my algo in parentheses.
Duke (1106) vs. Clemson (998)
Navy (1233) vs. North Texas (1187): Hard to tell if Navy is as good as my algo thinks, since they've played pretty easy teams so far and beat them all.
Penn State (958) vs. Ohio State (1383): It would be hilarious on so many levels if Penn State could pull of the upset here.
Arizona State (1129) vs. Iowa State (1061): As always, Iowa State is poised to upset any Big 12 team at any moment...
Valparaiso vs. Presbyterian: 1-7 vs. 7-1.
Georgia (1293) vs. Florida (1079)
C. Michigan (955) vs. W. Michigan (955): A literal coin flip according to my algo... But Central Michigan lost to Akron, so...
Things seem to be settling in now, except for a few teams in the 15-25 range moving up and down. Also, Indiana is #1 for the first time! Probably only because they've played one more game than that Ohio State.

I just did it, but it's listed as #29, not #30. Don't know what that's about. Also played in hard mode.
