I was just about to ask for an explanation about Iowa State getting a first place vote, then I saw Maryland got a first place vote (their only points), and now I need an explanation even more.
Well, at least my poll won't be the most unusual. Here is my poll, just to show that I am not afraid to share either. Feel free to poke it. It is all human.
And the next 5
Kansas State
UNLV
Georgia Tech
Utah
Oklahoma
Iowa State was me. Explanation: https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/comment/19186304
They get credit for beating a team that has a > .000 record (Kansas State at .500), and a tad of extra credit for doing it on a neutral field.
My rankings, whether algorithm or hand-picked attempt to avoid results from previous seasons, and try to only look at the current season's results.
I'm curious about Maryland too. Maybe something to do with margin of victory?
Yeah, that is sound logic for a computer poll. Really just week one jank that will even itself out. Although, Iowas State being #1 wouldn't be bad...
