Sorry this one’s a bit late, next week probably will be too. Wedding season, but at least they chose the bye week…
My ballot. Computer poll. I kind of expected Georgia to rank higher, but 12 spots is still a big swing. I also don’t know why Alabama isn’t dropping.

My computer really doesn’t like Ohio State (#27) and Alabama (#34) after their respective losses. I spent too much time trying to over-fit the data and get them ranked higher before realizing that my computer must not be what is wrong and instead it’s everyone who thinks that Ohio State and Alabama should be ranked in the top 25.
Anyways, why worry about anything when you have #1ndiana?

My computer poll still really likes Indiana despite the relatively easy schedule and still really doesn’t like Georgia, despite their win against Texas (though it did help quite a bit).

Computer poll. It’s stickier than I thought it would be: Georgia and Tennessee didn’t rise too far, and Texas and Alabama didn’t fall too far after their big games this week. Alabama still being ranked 11 with two losses has my bama bias crying foul, but my poll doesn’t factor in name/conference recognition so that rank is coming purely from their resume (I have them as having played the 2nd hardest strength of schedule thus far).
