The Mook Matrix

A college football ranking system based SOLELY on résumé…no hypotheticals, no biases, strictly based on on-field results

Power 4 + ND only, 1-68

When we get close to the end of the season, we will take the top few G6 teams and plug them into @TheMookMatrix to see how they stack up against the P4 and to see who should represent the G6 in the #CollegeFootballPlayoff

@Brett_McMurphy Embarrassing.

Let’s see how they actually perform and THEN rank them.

And rankings should change DRASTICALLY week to week, ESPECIALLY early in the year.

Ours will.

@On3 What a disaster this preseason poll was. Teams are FREQUENTLY overrated based on their history, prestige, talent level, conference affiliation, etc. Then voters are slow to react and adjust once they get new data points…they don’t want to have been wrong

[The Mook Matrix @TheMookMatrix]

What do we punish for?

❌losing
❌failing to cover spreads
❌losing to teams with bad records
❌losing out of conference
❌playing less P4 teams
❌playing FCS schools

Will we be putting out a preseason poll?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Why?

Nothing has happened yet!!! No one deserves to be considered better than anyone else yet!

[The Mook Matrix @TheMookMatrix]

Welcome!

We developed a #collegefootball ranking system that only values WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!

We don’t care about hypotheticals, we don’t care about conference affiliations, we don’t care about made up, biased things like “strength of schedule”.

We only value DATA!
