My rankings are the FanLax Computer Ranking which is based on each team's 3 Best Wins, 3 Worst Losses.

Name it. Calculators don't make mistakes...

this is the Forum Poll... minus inconsistencies: 6 Ohio State Are inconsistencies in gloves also removed?... And the Forum Poll has them at... #19. Which is way too low. Keep in mind, OSU beat UNC, Rutgers, and Air Force (and have a #11 win ranking, not amazing) and their worst losses are to Denver...

Denver, from unranked in 40% of polls last week to #12 this week...

I got 16 - Denver, 21 - Syracuse. Much more rational...

The FanLax Forum Poll is great. But humans are human. Humans have inconsistencies including favoritism based on previous seasons, recency bias, etc. All my poll does is erase these inconsistencies.

Then why have a playoff with games? Why not play 10 games and decide the national champion based on a computer formula that takes "good losses" into account? When teams are close based on other criteria - wins, losses, SOS, etc. - there is NO better criterion than head to head. If that is...

I have Wooster at #19. Based on their Losses, they're, for obvious reasons, ranked #1 (along with others). Including Tufts and Christopher Newport ahead of them and Farmingdale, Pfeiffer, Trine, Johnson & Wales, and Hartford behind them. In terms of wins, Wooster is ranked #30. Their three best ...

One of the places where your algorithm breaks down: In this case, counting two losses as better then a single loss, based solely on the "quality" of the loss(es). Team A loses to #1 and #2 and beats #4, #5, #6, etc. In theory, they should be #3. Team B loses to #5 and beats #4, #6, #7, et...

Pointless. Team A beat Team B

Duke has aa better record against a similar (though a touch weaker) SoS, and just beat Virginia, handily, at Virginia. Duke gets my vote over UVa. Team A beat UVA, Penn, and UNC and lost to Jacksonville. Team B beat Notre Dame, Hopkins, and Michigan and lost to UMD and Duke. Who gets the nod? I'd s...

Not true. Union missing a couple studs this past weekend is a REASON for them losing, not an excuse. Agreed and it's still an L. If we were predicting who's going to win in May when all relevant players are back, I'd rank Union differently. But in terms of ranking the teams based on their performan...
