*The polls were all concluded before the Army-Navy game. The above math includes that result.
Interesting. I've been thinking about doing something similar.

A couple questions, why is Texas ahead of Georgia despite Georgia beating them twice? And why is Alabama ahead of Tennessee although Tennessee has a better record and beat Alabama?

Not trying to pick, just wondering why it was giving you that.

The system ignores names. Head-to-head results don't weigh in.
 
Basically, yeah. I'd summarize it as "Team A's schedule was X strong, and Team A performed Y well against it."
Then using the Texas vs UGA example, shouldn’t the fact that UGA’s schedule was tougher than Texas’s and the fact that they beat Texas twice matter? Doesn’t make sense. Unless your algorithm shows that UGA’s schedule was weaker than Texas schedule.

Georgia's schedule was about 5.5 points tougher than Texas'. Texas point differential was > 8 points more than Georgia's. Texas had almost 120 yards more in yardage differential. Those three factors essentially combined for Texas finishing < 4 total points ahead of UGA.
