We appear to have lost Northern Illinois. It also appears to be Disappear From ConquerClub Week.

Hey now Rodent...anything that bumps Boise State down can't be more accurate

I'm thrilled to be sitting at No. 12 actually.

how did Florida go from 3-1 to 3-3 in one week?

AmphibiousRodent · Post by **AmphibiousRodent** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 4:37 pm

The Week 5 game against Alabama ran late, resulting in two games being included in this update.

I also won and im now 6-0, but my RPI went down from 0.668 to 0.641!! dont understand this RPI but how can i go down with a win???

How a team that is 4-1 is above a team thats 6-0 and a team thats 3-2 is above a team thats 5-0 is a bit of a joke!

AmphibiousRodent · Post by **AmphibiousRodent** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 5:32 pm

Your RPI went down because I tweaked the formula to give less weight to wins over Top-25 teams. I did this in order to try and balance things more towards performance instead of strength of schedule, which is the reason for the things in your second question. It's not perfect, but then what is? Especially when it comes to college football?

I understand nothing is perfect butcome on how can a 3-2 win be better than a 5-0 or a 4-1 to a 6-0 thingsjust dont seem to ass up here mate!
As for changing the formula during the tounament did you ask if this was ok???

Thanks

Sorry dude, that made me laugh like a loon.

I didn't ask if it was OK because it was just a tweak to balance things better. It should benefit you (6-0 team with weak schedule) and hinder teams like Boise State (3-2 against very strong schedule). In the end, it will only matter for a few teams, because conference championships will determine 11 of the 16 playoff teams.

What defines a top 25 win, if you beat them when they were in the top 25? or if you beat a team that is now in the top 25?

AmphibiousRodent · Post by **AmphibiousRodent** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 8:12 pm

A Top-25 win is beating a team in the Top 25 the week you played them.

flexmaster33 · Post by **flexmaster33** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 11:40 pm

thanks for the explanations Rodent...

The RPI is also designed to balance out with the most fair numbers late in the season, you can win a game and still have your # drop because it's weighted strongly on your strength of schedule...so if the teams you've played already this year all lost during a certain week, it would hurt your RPI.

Looks like Ball sate is going to win 28-24 at Ohio, that will be 7-0

flexmaster33 · Post by **flexmaster33** » Thu Oct 27, 2011 11:45 pm

#12 Boise State makes its bid for a spot in the top-10 with a sneaker win at #22 Colorado State...should win by a point or two, moving the Broncos to 3-0 against ranked opponents. Great battle Highlander...a fun series.
