re: My Computer Top 25: Week 5, 2013

That seems to be the one flaw I can find. If, lets say LSU beat TCU, who at the time was tier 1 in week one, and TCU ends up going 5-7. LSU would end up having a tier 1 win for that game even though TCU could have fallen to tier 6 or 7.

And that's one thing that's been pestering me this whole time. If I did do that, it'd be incredibly tedious and would cause looping that I doubt I could keep up with.

I'm tossing around the idea for next year of weighing games lighter at the beginning of the season and heavier as the season goes on. But that could minimize a big week 1 win.

So I decided to be lazy and award points as they currently stand.

ETA: plus I figure it won't matter that much. I just recalculated LSU's ranking and they'd be 16th instead of 15th. Because teams initially ranked very high shouldn't drop to the lower five pods (unless we're talking preseason #1 2012 USC), and the already low-ranked teams rewards wouldn't vary significantly enough for any major changes.
