Here's the draft in Excel 07 form. We have a new #1 in the computers, and Auburn still struggles to get binary respect.
- Boise St. Broncos
- TCU Horned Frogs
- Oregon Ducks
- Ohio St. Buckeyes
- Stanford Cardinal
- Auburn Tigers
- Alabama Crimson Tide
- Wisconsin Badgers
- Nevada Wolf Pack
- Nebraska Cornhuskers
- LSU Tigers
- Oklahoma St. Cowboys
- Oklahoma Sooners
- Michigan St. Spartans
- Arkansas Razorbacks
- Arizona Wildcats
- West Virginia Mountaineers
- Virginia Tech Hokies
- South Carolina Gamecocks
- Iowa Hawkeyes
- Texas A&M Aggies
- Utah Utes
- Northern Illinois Huskies
- Florida St. Seminoles
- Missouri Tigers
The Top
This is getting repetitive. As far as the top 5-10 teams go, Auburn has bad defensive metrics. Defense is weighted 2:1 over offense in the computer. This hurts Auburn. They'll get their weekly bump to atone for it, but this is a systemic flaw that will be addressed in the offseason. Also, I may flip TCU and Oregon, and I want to put Stanford above Ohio State.
(Side note: I bet that a lot of manual overrides will center around the offense / defense balance.)
The Big Ten and Big 12
Take a look over these and see what you think. There's a lot of clustering in these conferences, so the opportunity for manual overrides is pretty rich. Rivalry weekend will help a lot, but we're not there yet.
Nevada
10-1 but the weakest SoS in the top 20. They're a toughie; they drilled California, who then played Oregon tight, but that whole variance of performance thing gets in the way.
Big East / ACC
I want to move WVU down, especially below VTech. Some backup thoughts would be nice.
Head to Head
I'll let Will fill us in on that stuff. He's already figured it out, I'm sure.
