Results for Week 13
Notre Dame's top spot in this week's edition of the BlogPoll should be expected, as should Florida's No. 6 spot. The Gators' big wins help in the computer rankings, but their middling play of late matters a lot more to humans, who have recency biases, than it does to formulas built to exclude them.
| # | School | Points/blog | SD |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ohio St. Buckeyes (2) | 18.38 | 7.38 |
| 2 | Florida Gators | 18.72 | 3.57 |
| 3 | Boise St. Broncos | 1.59 | 3.38 |
| 4 | Oregon St. Beavers | 9.45 | 3.32 |
| 5 | Florida St. Seminoles (1) | 18.08 | 3.32 |
More interesting to me? The Gators' significant standard deviation, which suggests that a lot of BlogPoll voters don't know whether to call the Florida team that chugged to 7-0 the real deal or take the last month's Gators as what they are.
