My favorite computer poll as it is a cumulative of all the polls

Top ten

1) OSU
2) LSU
3) CLEMSON
4) BAMA
5) Penn State
6) OU
7) Barn
8) Oregon
9) Go Gatas
10) Wisky

Thoughts?

The first four belong but the order shouldn't be set. Penn State isn't a top 5 team.

We will see if Sparty can give them trouble. My concern is the QB in their case

I love the Massey Composite.

I especially love going to the outlier polls and seeing just how fucking wonky some of them are.

I've said it elsewhere here, but my favorite individual poll (other than Sagarin, he does great work) is the Vern. It is about as pure as it gets. Each team is polled on their W/L record, the W/L record of each opponent, and the W/L record of each opponent's opponents.

The only downside to the Vern is that you really don't get GOOD data until the last few weeks of the season when most contests have been decided. You can take season-end Vern polls and compare them with the results to date and see the correlations better.

There are no pre-conceptions or previous years' results contained within the Vern. No eye tests.

I can dig the Vern for sure. That's a good ranking

Ninth ranked Cincy eh?

When it comes to good losses, it looks like Cincy has the best. They also had a "at the time" top 25 win.

When they are in the playoff no one will be laughing.

LOL...your assuming he doesn't stay lubed 24/7. Never underestimate a Bearcat.

Agree with said poll

If you look at the actual rankings that feed the data OSU is pretty well ahead.

I assume based on MOV largely
