[Square Knight]

Somehow, Alabama's narrow OT win over Georgia vaulted them from #5 to #1.

One poll left...Colley.

We are #1 in the following (all we need was one):

Was this one of those polls that was capable of vaulting a 5th ranked team above 2nd rank? I recall this one going 65 percent in favor of UCF.
How about Colley? Everyone is saying UCF as the #1 team is foolproof.

With a difference of 0.002 which is like a rounding error, you could call this one a tie.

Are these 3 of the NCAA recognized 13 indicators?

Quick question. Do these computer ranking firms publish their code so that their results are reproducible? You know scientific method and all.

Colley simulator put UCF st #1 with Bama win but wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow vault Alabama over UCF

It certainly looks like everyone's lining up with P5. I didn't know that half of the championships since 2007 were multiple, including last year.

Why are they all lining up this year?

I don't believe so, not according to Wiki.

EDIT: Colley last available computer ranking to possible rank UCF #1

Colley and Anderson & Hester appear to be most likely to rank UCF #1

Well down to Colley, because the other chickened out too.

 

[Square Knight]

For the Anderson Hester ranking, the margin (in the actual numerical score) that UCF had over Alabama after the Jan 1 bowl games games was extremely small.
UCF waas .808
Alabama was .795
That's a difference of 1.6089 %

In Colley...
UCF is currently at .974659
Alabama was at .936396
That's a difference of about 3.93%

Hopefully it will give us the margin we need.

Colley taking a while to crunch...errr fudge the numbers in Bama's favor.
