Delaware 38 on the Born Power
Looks like the old Combined Massey index was just combined on the Massey site
Lots of Polls out there but I’ve been to the only 2 that count

Re: Polls
LOL- great comment! There are still a couple of teams ranked who are 0-2. Way too early to worry about polls. The poll after September 23 will be a viable starting point….Wayne HanbyCaribbean Hen wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 10:31 pm https://masseyratings.com/ranks?s=cf&sub=11605

Re: Polls
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS
Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

Re: Polls
When 89Hen used to post his best stuff was ripping apart the absurdities of the Massey rankings. Pretty much it takes better rankings, combines them together, and comes up with something worse. But because he (Massey) uses #math we're supposed to ignore the bad outcomes.

Re: Polls
I have no idea but that’s just crazy
Actually I’ve never looked at his BCS formula poll for FCS before
Maybe the North and South magnetic Poles flipped and damaged his quadrantal spheres on his formula

Re: Polls
Just for clarification, Portland State is ranked number 59 on the Massey poll
Whatever that was it’s gone now, I heard it was from a Massey laptop malfunction and never intended to be seen by the naked eye

Re: Polls
Well, I guess it depends on what your expectations are coming in when you’re looking at a computer mathematical poll, that can’t actually watch games or know what the injuries are, the weather etc etcGannonfan wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 12:42 pmYou could say that about his poll every week.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 10:10 amJust for clarification, Portland State is ranked number 59 on the Massey poll

Considering it’s just a mathematical formula based on historical games, I think it does pretty good. Just curiosity for me really, I’m not a fan of using it for determining who goes to the playoffs or for placing a bet.

Re: Polls
Yeah, the Massey BCS category is no longer listed on the site.
He had
#1. Southern Illinois
I forget #2 but it was equally baffling
#3. was Portland State
#4. was EKU
#5. Delaware
...
Montana State I remember was #24. Neither of the Dakota States were in the Top 10!
Think that threw off the composite just a bit?
