The VolNation Top 25

[OrangeSquare]

Anyone interested in being a voter in your very own Top 25?

If so, PM me with your Top 25 teams by Midnight on Sunday Night/Monday Morning and I will post the results.

Mods, please Pin this until we see if it's going to be something people want to do.

I actually developed my own computer rankings two years ago...this is the third season I've been running them. I'll spare this forum the boredom of the details of the math (PM if that's your sort of thing), but in summary it is driven by who you've played and how well you played against them. So strength of schedule is a biggie, as is margin of victory (to some degree), home/away, and opponents' schedules. I have it set up in Excel--all I do is enter the scores and a macro iteratively calculates the results. There are no preseason rankings in my system--everyone starts the season the same.

I can supply the Top 25 from my program, although it takes a few weeks for the teams to interconnect so there are a couple of head-scratchers these first couple of weeks.

You got banned??? I was giggling because I thought your "test" post was a hint about being invited to send in your top 25.

Some guy -- posted about 50 times total -- wrote about how he hoped that, if the football gods want someone to get hurt, its Tebow. Guy is rooting for a player to get hurt. I, shall we say, took exception.

 

[LadyinOrange]

Hoping for a kid to get hurt is stupid. I don't care who you are.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

I'll get mine in here in a few.
