Week 7 - Duke Won't Go Away

It was personally very sad to see Washington State lose this week. I had such high hopes for them. Alas.

Beyond that, their loss really threw The Internet's rankings into a jumble. Its explanation is, "the philosophy I have seen is that teams should not be punished for losing against conference opponents as heavily as non-conference opponents. Therefore conference losses are penalized less seriously." It's an interesting thought, but it does leave to weird things like Duke STILL being ranked. Although I guess their Elo is actually relatively healthy, so it's not THAT weird.

Here is the rank summary for posterity:

Alabama Crimson Tide 1
Georgia Bulldogs 2
Clemson Tigers 3
USC Trojans 4
TCU Horn Frogs 5
Penn State Nittany Lions 5
Washington State Cougars 7
Washington Huskies 8
Miami Huricanes 9
NC State Wolfpack 9
South Florida Bulls 9
Michigan Wolverines 9
Ohio State Buckeyes 9
Wisconsin Badgers 9
Stanford Cardinal 9
South Carolina Gamecocks 16
LSU Tigers 17
UCF Knights 18
Oklahoma Sooners 19
San Diego State Aztecs 20
Virgina 21
Notre Dame Fighting Irish 22
Duke Bluedevils 23
