Football - Week 1 Rankings

09/03/2024

As with every year, the model's first week of rankings is quite entertaining.  With only a game's worth of data to go off for the season, there are always some interesting teams appearing way higher than they probably ought to. What's even more fun is if they just keep winning and find themselves in the Top 25 or even the College Football Playoff (like TCU a couple years ago).  I wonder who the year's underdog is going to be!  Remember, this ranking is strictly based off of a mathematical model with no outside influence like biased opinions or the "eye-test"!

Here is the Top 25:

  1. Georgia - 344
  2. Arizona - 304
  3. USC - 302
  4. Ohio State - 301
  5. Michigan - 293
  6. Texas - 282
  7. Penn State - 280
  8. Alabama - 275
  9. Miami (FL) - 274
  10. Georgia Tech - 267
  11. Ole Miss - 266
  12. Missouri - 263
  13. Oklahoma - 262
  14. Northwestern - 261
  15. Boise State - 257.6
  16. Kansas State - 257.0
  17. Louisville - 255
  18. North Texas - 254.8
  19. Vanderbilt - 254.7
  20. Oregon - 253
  21. TCU - 251
  22. Purdue - 247.6
  23. Washington - 247.5
  24. NC State - 247.3
  25. UCLA - 246
