Upsets by Arizona, TCU, Mississippi, Utah State, and Mississippi State put the exclamation point on the craziest few days in recent college football history.
Breitbart Sports’ simplified scoreboard lists all 128 teams alphabetically. There is a row for each team. For example, the items in the third row below shows that based on the new Pythagorean Ratings Alabama ranks as the new 6th-best team, they played an SEC game, lost 17-23, had a spread of +2 based on our ratings coming into the game, and drops -3.80 points on their projected spread due to the loss. It is now projected that the Tide would beat the average FBS team 38-18 and win 89% of their games, and their last opponent was Mississippi.
Some ratings system basically treat all points scored and allowed as equal. The Pythagorean Ratings put a huge weight on the crucial points needed to win. For example, Mississippi intercepted a pass at the end of their win over Alabama to deny seven points and turn a one-point Alabama win into a six-point Mississippi win, while Ohio State intercepted a pass late in the game against Maryland to increase the final margin to 52-24. In some systems, both of these plays helped their team’s rating by seven points.
This system measures that Alabama was favored by two in this system (square root +1.4) and instead lost by six (square root -2.4) so drops 3.8 points in the ratings. Meanwhile, Ohio State already had the highest rating allowed in this system of +5 (win by 25 or more points) and so the extra late touchdown does not add to their excellent rating for the game. Even if the pick six had taken them from an 18-point win to a 25-point win, it would have improved their rating by less than a point (increased the square foot from just over 4 to 5). Here are the results for all 128 teams.
