(Delta Calc'd from Week 6, 7 OCT 2019)

Some of these rankings my surprise you, but keep in mind that there is no bias towards any team or preconceived notions, and the only thing considered is what each team has accomplished so far.

Notes:

• Ohio State edges out LSU for the #1 spot after week 7. Even though LSU has the best win between the two teams, OSU's overall body of work to date results in a higher calculated rating.
• Wisconsin comes in at #3 after defeating #24 Michigan St.
• #4 Boise St is currently ranked higher in my ratings than the human polls (AP: 13, Coaches: 14). 
• Georgia falls 10 spots to #22 after losing to then-ranked #77 South Carolina (currently ranked #44). Note: The human polls had Georgia at #3 prior to this week. My ratings were less impressed (and unbiased) and ranked them at #12 before losing at home to South Carolina.
• Clemson and Alabama are ranked #6 and #7, respectively. It's amazing what happens when you rank teams without any kind of recency bias (or SEC bias)!
• Top 10 // Top 25  Teams for each conference:
• ACC: 1 // 0 
• Big Ten: 3 // 6
• Big 12: 0 // 3
• Pac 12: 1 // 3
• SEC: 4 // 6
