This is the inaugural post of my top 25 computer rankings. For those who don't know, I created a computer rankings designed to mirror the BCS in 2001. Since it's inception, I have correctly picked the National Title contenders in 7 of the 8 years and usually all but maybe 1 BCS team are in the top 10--not counting conference champion squeakers. The rankings have some flaws for sure, but I like what I'm seeing now. Again, these rankings are meant to 'predict' the BCS, not necessarily pick the best team (although it's a pretty good metric). The rankings are based on win/loss, strength of team played when they played, and margin of victory (capped at 21). This is a barebones explanation so if you're interested in more explanation, let me know.
