Ohio State, which defeated previously unbeaten Penn State on Saturday, 20-13, moved up one spot and is now No. 3 in both polls behind top-ranked and unbeaten Oregon (9-0) and second-ranked Georgia (7-1). Miami and Texas round out the top five.

PA State choking @ home against OH State or UMI happens again in 2024.
Should be dropped @ least 5 Poll positions.
IN Uni. beating a very mediocre MI State U. with the record to prove it & being catapulted high as if they had beaten OH State or UNI. OR?
3 rungs higher, yes, but 5 = over the top.
Ridiculous Popularity rankings in the Establishment Sports Media Complex Writers’ Automaton minds.
Completely agreed. I have a football prediction Formula that I use from time-to-time to predict the result of a game or even simulate a matchup between two teams (for fun of course, I have no interest in betting). I use RPI and average points scored/allowed per game, but not rankings because it’s just a popularity contest. RPI can be flawed, too, but I feel like it’s a better metric since it’s numbers/statistics based.
Mason C. Oury,
I’m glad a few souls, yourself, use Data driven metrics & not only marketing name / brand recognirion.
