I understand it is based off of a computer model, but the fact ESPN even uses it is just idiotic. It isn't even worth a glance.
Notables:
10-3 Clemson #8 (Can't even make the conference championship in the worst P5 conference? Awesome)
7-6 Iowa State #10
11-3 Pitt #12 (lose to Western Michigan? Oh well, you did good in an absolutely horrible conference)
10-3 Ole Miss #18 (1 spot behind 7-6 Penn State, 1 spot infront of 11-2 MSU, makes sense)
6-7 Auburn #20
7-5 Miami #23 (Kentucky would literally win by 2-4+ TDs)
5-7 Texas #25 (LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
10-3 Kenucky #28 (just beat the B10 runner up? Meh, Texas almost beat Kansas tho)
3-9 Nebraska #30 (computer says winning is dumb, just get close)
6-7 Florida #34 (right infront of 10-3 BYU with 3 ranked wins)
6-7 Louisville #46, 10-3 AIr Force #66
10-4 App St #33, 13-1 ULL #48 (ULL beat App St twice by combined 65-29, has far better record, won conference)
There's countless of other examples. I understand its just a computer model they use, but useless is probably an understatement. ESPN might as well put a picture of a turd on a webpage and it would serve the same purpose.
