ESPN's FPI is a joke. I really think they are just some writer's rankings and he just assigns an arbitrary number.

Computer rankings don't have a bias. Everything should be computer based rankings. Start with the old bcs formula Then you add a few points for winning your conference It's impossible for a computer to think back to last year .humans are biased by nature,and possibly subconsciously .
