My CFB rankings based strictly on records and Strength of Victory
Posted on 10/7/19 at 10:22 am
Posted on 10/7/19 at 10:22 am
1. Ohio St 6-0
2. Georgia 5-0
3. LSU 5-0
4. Alabama 5-0
5. Clemson 5-0
6. Florida 6-0
7. Wisconsin 5-0
8. Penn St. 5-0
9. Oklahoma 5-0
10. Baylor 5-0
11. SMU 6-0
12. Boise St. 5-0
13. Wake Forest 5-0
14. Minnesota 5-0
15. App. St. 4-0
16. Memphis 5-0
17. Auburn
18. Notre Dame
18. Michigan
17th starts the one loss teams and rank them according to SOV. Obviously this is a small sample size and these rankings will change a lot as some of these zero loss teams lose and one loss teams keep winning, etc.
A win is a win is a win. No need to worry about style points. What’s wrong with this method?

Has Alabama played a college level team yet?
ETA: I didn’t see who they played this past weeekend or if they even played

Strength of victory? So how are we behind Clemson they don't have a single win near beating Auburn by double digits.

What's your algorithm? Or is this just a "feels" algorithm on where it just subjective strength of opponent...

The issue would only be that OSU hasn't played a team who is good on both sides of the ball (although you could argue the same for LSU). UGA has the best win of the season, but I do think ND is a step or two below the top 5 or so.
OSU's opponents record is 20-12 right now against FBS teams, far better than anyone elses. The issue is those teams don't have top 25 resumes themselves.
The question is and always should be IMO is it better to beat 8 teams in the 26-55 range, or 3 teams in the 5-15 range and 5 teams in the 60-85 range. The SOS for the first team would be pretty good, but the second team's schedule is more difficult in reality

By your own standard Clemson is way too high

i like your rankings for the most part to be honest. it still overvalues clemson at this point, but i like the rest of it.

Alabama has 3 wins over P5 teams.
Like I said, this will change as the season moves forward and some of the crappy zero loss teams begin to lose games and some of the one loss and two loss teams keep winning and beating decent to good opponents.
Edited to correct 3 P5 teams, miscounted

Auburn, Texas, and ND are better than 7 of those undefeated teams.

I know all schedules aren’t created equal so you can’t rank teams based just on record. However, if you include SOV, then as the season goes on, it will sort itself out.

Did you read all of my posts? Some of the crappy zero loss teams will start to lose and some of the 1 loss and 2 loss teams will keep winning and beating decent to good opponents.

this is impossible to do without pissing off 90% of the people

This list isn't by strength of victory. Didn't have to go past #1 to see that.

True. But they've also been dominant against their opponents.

Going to have to disagree with you there. Certainly ND appears to be a good team. But that game was in Georgia. ND faced arguably the toughest crowd in UGA history and still had a shot to tie late. On the flip side, LSU beat top 10 Texas ON THE ROAD. Road wins always trump home wins IMO
Clemson has struggled. Bama, OSU and Oklahoma haven't played great schedules, but they have also done what great teams do and hammer those opponents. LSU and UGA have the "best" wins of the top 6 teams (though you could maybe make the case Wisconsin should be in the conversation as well)

why dude?
can't stand baseless statements. you think many teams could have gone into uga and played them close? naa.. don't even start. Irish have been impressive every week. but you only gas up big ten teams. thats the issue here

Are people really in here debating some random dude’s rankings halfway through the season?
