   The NOTBCS Guy to All   
   This is why NOTBCS doesn't start until W

   Here's my SRS/Colley-style ratings after Week 2:   
   1 - Texas   
   2 - Miami   
   3 - Rice   
   4 - Rutgers   
   5 - Miami Ohio   
   6 - Oklahoma   
   7 - Auburn   
   8 - UCLA   
   9 - Texas A&M   
   10 - Florida State   
   11 - Alabama   
   12 - USC   
   t13 - Houston   
   t13 - Iowa   
   t13 - Minnesota   
   t13 - North Carolina   
   t13 - Colorado   
   18 - Idaho   
   19 - Liberty   
   20 - SMU   
   21 - Washington   
   22 - Fresno State   
   23 - Temple   
   t24 - Mississippi   
   t24 - Michigan   
      
   This is based on 50% average "adjusted margin of victory" and 50% average   
   opponents' rating.   
   "Adjusted margin of victory" is 30 for an away or neutral win; for a home win,   
   it is 25 + 1 for every 7 points of actual MOV, up to an adjusted value of 30   
   (for an actual MOV of 35 or more), except that a home OT win is always 25.   
   It sounds strange, but it has an accuracy rate of 83.804% over all Division I   
   games from 2014 through 2022 except in 2020.   
   The problem is, not all teams are "connected" - for example, the only FBS   
   teams Arizona and Mississippi State have played so far are each other - so the   
   strength of schedule component isn't very accurate yet.
