Colley Matrix[edit]

Hello, thanks for your edits at Colley Matrix.

You said in your edit summary:

> The source also claims that Tennessee's value before Bowls is above 1, which is impossible.

Do you have any details about why that would be impossible? Is that blog post author's emulation of the Colley Matrix thus incorrect?

Are you yourself running a Colley Matrix simulator? I'd be interested in your version's picks for 1992–1997 (and I suppose all other years).

So I just checked myself and it appears I was just very confidently wrong on the "can't be above 1" thing. I did end up running my own sim, which realistically could just be wrong, that said Michigan was the best team. I think where the blogger went wrong was not using the FCS Grouping System that was introduced to the Colley Matrix a year before the blog was posted. Hobbes .T.
