Here's last week's results in case you missed it or are new to my ranking system: https://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/college-sports/2019/10/108307/my-ne...

First, huge thank you to Appalachian State and SMU for losing this week. Really helps me out in making this semi-believable.

Second, wow a lot of the good teams were on a bye. That means there wasn’t a ton of movement at the top (the exception being SMU dropping out of the top 5 finally).

Without further ado, here’s my top 25. Parentheses contain the rating on a scale of 100 to -30 and the plus/minus shows the movement from last week.

8. Sun Belt - 1 Team
10. MAC - 0 Teams
10. Independent - 0 Teams

I actually really like this top five and I think it’s about right. After that though things go haywire and I think the gap between 9 and 25 is so small its almost negligible.

If I were doing this subjectively App State would've dropped out as well but it seems like they are solid enough on both sides of the ball that my formula still likes them.

Also, not a huge fan of SMU staying above Memphis (or that Memphis didn't even go up in the rankings after that win) but head-to-head isn't exactly a factor in my formula, and I don't know how I would make that a factor, so purely off stats SMU still looks like the better team.

As always, please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions on how I can improve on this formula / system. Thank you for all your support and help so far!
