Which team below Florida is better?
A lot of teams LOOK over ranked until you check the alternatives who look no better.
We all have opinions. Computer algorithms are just complex human opinions, in general, adjusted by humans over time to make them appear to be "more reasonable", which means, more like human polls. I bet with time one could perfect an algorithm that would mimic the AP poll 90% or better.
And what would that accomplish?
And of course in football, you have the inherent problem of lack of syllogism.
