WOW, he is using his own ratings, guessed I missed that, can't believe he has Texas A&M (5-5) at #9 and Missouri (5-5) at #11.
I guess I have learned my lesson, his poll is worthless.

It seems like his "formula" includes "circular references" which can generate a higher ranking for a team.
Missouri is a good example. They are 5-5, and are ranked 11th with the best strength of schedule. I just don't see this as possible unless each game/team builds upon itself..
I pretty much ignore his rankings as well. Used to put alot of merit into it since I am a "Statistics" junkie engineer, but once i looked into it, it is worthless.
eta.. North Dakota St. is ranked 54th. Does anyone REALLY think they are better than Purdue, Wake Forest, UVA who are a couple of teams they are ranked ahead of? For reference WKU is ranked 114.

yeah, that's stupid, looks like his rankings kind of feed on themselves, that's no good.
