So...now Jeff is introducing a new wrinkle into his ranking/weighting.
DIMIN_CURVE...can't say I've ever seen this in his rankings before.
I'd like to know first of all, why he is making wholesale adjustments to his system. Is he trying to compensate for observed inaccuracies or is he attempting to advertise his "system" as a preferable reference tool available for use by the new CFB playoff committee?
Secondly, is this all allowed by the BCS? Do the computer wranglers have carte blanche to modify/skew/recalculate their formulas as they see fit whenever they want?
Thirdly, how can any computer-based ranking be taken seriously when they have NIU currently ranked 3rd in the rankings they submit to the BCS?
