They either need to give the committee a stricter structure or just use computer models. The weekly rankings are supposed to give a good sense of where you stand, but they've moved idle teams and teams without a notable outcome in pretty much every week this year.
No matter whether you think we are done or not, we are open in sportsbooks, which means enough people think idle Texas could be swapped with another idle team that it is a betting prop.
The big issue with computer models is that it is really hard to exclude "run up the score" stats in them and have good output.
And most modelers don't really understand football. They just have generic modified Elo's or stat regression's that they could apply to any sport or game. These aren't bad, but they aren't good either. We all see the headscratchers that Sagarin puts out at times. And his BCS-qualified model was even worse.
