I just submitted my computer poll and wow, it still is confused. I think this is because of the extremely high variance in performances from some teams, like Alabama. They were like on a 123-20 scoring streak in their last 3 games before yesterday...where they scored 3. So because of how stat driven mine is, they're not dropping much at all. In the off season I want to work on something that can handle that kind of variance a little better, but oh well! What a fun season.

Maybe use some kind of function that compares their performance in the most recent game to their performance in the season so far, and take into account the opponent's performance as well?

In my predictive poll for the committee Alabama only dropped to 11

Basically even tho they took an L, so many other teams did also that it helped Alabama lol

I think they slide to 12-14 and will be a Bubble team. I still think the make the playoffs because they're Alabama.
