Yeah, ND has played a whopping 8 games which definitely skews the data. If you average it down to 7 games played, they would be about 12th and if you bring them to 6 it puts them about 24th. I think if I were doing this by eye test, I'd have them somewhere in the 10 to 15 range.

Georgia at 6 finally feels like the computer finally placed them in the right spot (early in the season it had them at 1 and at one point as low as 24, I think). I probably would rather see Washington ahead of them rather than USC, though.

I’m curious about your computer poll. How did you set it up?

I described it a bit in this comment. There's also some pre-season expectations that get factored in for the first 4 weeks and then it stands on its own in week 5.

I feel like mid-season it can be kind of weird, but it usually feels right at the end each year. For example, in this post I included a screenshot of my top 40 at the end of last season.
