    Thanks for the thorough explanation. I mostly referring to Toledo and Illinois being ahead of us considering head-to-head results and I look forward to us getting a chance to redeem ourselves from last year vs texas

      Yeah, I realized after replying that you’re below Illinois. There’s still a little poll inertia (they were preseason #25), but really the weak W1 opponent is the main thing. If I were doing the rankings by hand, I value head-to-head quite a bit, but the model would suggest that those results are flukes (and if not, it will soon correct itself – Colorado has risen 68 places in just 2 weeks). There’s a little stickiness with Toledo as well (pre-season #35).

      redeem ourselves from last year vs texas

      That game was a redemption from the year prior… I no longer live in Texas and that may be the only game I can get to this season, so I really hope that doesn’t happen
