Are game results biased? We saw that 2019 LSU is better than 2019 Clemson.

It is kind of biased for "power rating", shown by my list of rematches a couple pages back. But if we want a true "ranking" and If we think head-to-head should get a boost, then we factor that in.

Again, just so it makes sense...

2021 Bama beat Georgia 41-24. Did the better team win that day?

Because Georgia went on to beat Bama 33-18 in the NC game. The best team doesn't always win. In fact, just from the head-to-head that year, we can't tell if Bama or Georgia is the better team - that's why power ratings lean on the entire body of work. And that's why both my model and Vegas had Georgia beating Bama in the NC game.

my model has
1.1995 Nebraska
2.2019 LSU
3.01 Miami
4.2020 Bama

let's get a vote and see which people think is better

Right now, I have a Fan Poll on the site and you can go submit your ballot. But that's only for the current season. But I can add an all-time Fan Poll (Best teams of all time poll) if yall want.

That #20 LSU team would win every game on that list. You are telling me any of those secondary’s from the Nebraska dynasty could handle Joe and those receivers? No freaking way. What he did that season was must watch.
