Poll Bias (link)


Nov 12, 2014, 9:00 AM

http://harvardsportsanalysis.org/2014/10/conference-bias-in-college-football/

This guy gives some proof to bias in polls. His theory seems to be that it is not just SEC bias, but east coast bias. I don't see the east coast bias, even though his numbers do support the idea, because teams like Oregon, Stanford, USC, etc. seem to always get the respect I feel they deserve. Even this season UCLA was getting hype until they started playing the games.

I do like the idea of the CFP, but thought that using the BCS model would still work by just taking the top four teams from the final standings instead of having people decide.
