college football poll - week 10
Shockingly, Notre Dame’s win over 2-7 Navy is enough to vault them over the Georgia Bulldogs. I think one disadvantage of the coefficient of relationship algorithm the poll uses is that it rewards independents who play teams from lots of different conferences and thus have shorter “win” paths to more teams than teams that have only a small non-conference schedule.
Meanwhile, still-unbeaten Cincinnati and UTSA bump Michigan down to #5, but the Wolverines are still ahead of also-unbeaten Oklahoma.

college football poll - week 9
Michigan State’s comeback win against their in-state rivals isn’t quite enough to rank them higher than the Wolverines, but it is enough to vault them from #17 last week to #5 this week. Also the loss drops Michigan a spot, making way for Notre Dame to move in to #2. UGA still leads the field after its commanding victory in the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
