How can a 9-1 Va. Union, with a lost to Chowan, be over a 10-0 Jackson St. SMH

[Oldschoolram]

They are not over Jackson State nor any D1 school. They play dissimilar schedules. They are over the other D2/NAIA schools.  If you want to look just at the numbers, check out their respective schedules. 

One earlier questioned FAMU ranked lower than A&T, etc. As I explained then, that the teams they had beaten at the time had poor records, and that if they keep winning the ratings will reflect it. Now that I have almost a full body of work to analyze the ratings will be even more reflective in the final.

I had great joy in having the Mules ranked just ahead of Chowan, and they win in a thriller.  Just keep in mind its not an opinion poll.

How are they not.  You had a math thing when you had a poll with D2 and FCS.  The math thing don't work.

[Oldschoolram]

It works. You just don't get it. I have previously had many discussions with naysayers including Math Major Coach Pough. I have even published my formula for all to see. This is season 32.

Oldschoolram,
is the poll list below from one of your polls OR did School Old just put this together on his own from a mix of your polls?
Makes no sense to put different divisions into the same list and not expect some confusion.

1.  Benedict-3.09
2.  Va. Union-3.05
3.  Jackson St-3.00
4.  FAMU-1.95
    Fayett-1.95
6.  Ft. Valley-1.85
7.  NCCU-1.55
8.  Albany St.-1.10
9.  Chowan-0.94
    W. Va. St.-0.94

I just put this together from a mix of Oldschoolram's polls.  But if it is a math thing, I don't see it.  If it's a math thing, then I can see it if you put a 2 in front of it.  In other words, Jackson St. should have a 5.00 instead of a 3.00.  FAMU should have a 3.95 instead 1.95.  But I don't see it.

[Oldschoolram]

He noted that he put it together.  As noted, I once put them together.  However I haven't for some time now.

S O you don't get it because you don't know the formula.  Again I published it some time ago. It can be found via the "search."  Your "should have" comments speak to my point that it is NOT an opinion poll.  I have said many times that I don't always agree with the results. Now if you are inferring that Benedict nor Union can't beat Jackson..........................

[DRUMMA1]

Now if you are inferring that Benedict nor Union can't beat Jackson..........................

They wouldn't. Also, neither one of them would beat Campbell.

Now you are saying what I been all the while, all HBCU's are the same.  I don't believe that.  And you are saying that Albany State, a team we beat, was up there above us.
