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.

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!

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?

:lol: 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?

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

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.

#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.

Good job, guys!

In other news, Michigan knocked off No. 1 Michigan State 46-29, leaving just eight undefeated teams, and No. 6 Iowa State handed No. 20 Missouri its second loss.
