Red Flags are Swirling...College Football Take Warning!

Kyle,

I wrote a nice article regarding the overall parity displayed this year in college football.  Thought you'd like to read it and respond.  Might give you an idea for a future article.

Your blog ranking looks good, although I'd give Missouri a little more credit for their performance thus far.  It's anyone's guess at this point.

I think it would be wise to put a poll up this week showing groupings of teams rather than a numbered list.  Kind of like the Aces, Kings, Queens and Jacks found on Stewart Mandel's list from early last summer.  The whole numbered thing is really unreliable for what is the difference between 1-5, 6-10 or 11 through 15 and so on.  Just a thought.  Let me know what you think!

Agreed
The differences between teams is too small and our knowledge of these differences too limited to have a very accurate ordinal ranking.  Tiered levels would make more sense.  I'd handle this until very late in the season by ranking many teams as tied.  I'd have a two way tie for first place, a five way tie for next place, etc....

That is logical and reasonable
Unfortunately, there is no way to do that when casting my BlogPoll ballot, which requires that I rank the teams in sequence.

This may, of course, be a problem inherent in all polls, but, as long as we are conducting them in this manner, I have to rank them according to the rules.

A tiered system would be interesting to see, though.
