I've been working on this through the season. It's a poll that awards beating good teams on the field, with as little hype and prestige included as possible. I started by using the Massey preseason poll to give 120 teams a preseason ranking, then I gave each team a point value. For example, Alabama started the season ranked #1 so their point value was 120. San Jose State was ranked 119, so their point value was 2. The winner of a game gains the loser's point value while the loser drops the number of points that is equal to a team's ranking. For example, Alabama beat San Jose St. in week one so they gained two points for a total of 122, San Jose St. dropped one point for the loss, down to a point. Basically it awards teams for beating good teams, a lot like the RPI. Here's the rankings after three weeks.<div>
