Top 10 in CFP are all very close to this. Here are the biggest variances.

I'm only listing the ones ranked 4 spots higher or lower than the marbles. Illinois is the only Big Ten getting a real boost in CFP. Michigan is getting penalized, surprisingly enough. All SEC schools are ranked higher in CFP than in marbles. Some only by a one ranking, but every single one of them in the top 25. ACC is getting a boost w/Miami (back baby), but UVA is ranked much lower in CFP. GT is close. Big XII is all over the place. BYU 7 spots lower in CFP Miami 4 spots higher in CFP Texas 4 spots higher in CFP Michigan 5 spots lower in CFP UVA 5 spots lower in CFP Tennessee 12 spots higher in CFP Illinois 12 spots higher in CFP Mizzou 28 spots higher in CFP!!! Houston 7 spots higher in CFP Tulane 4 spots lower in CFP AZ State 6 spots lower in CFP ** Edited by reestuart at 11/25/2025, 6:06:53 PM

I like it a lot. The main thing people would complain about

Nice bias discovery. The data doesn’t lie**

Pretty surprising. It looks like the SEC is still getting much more benefit

Exact same 12 teams as the CFP. Only huge difference is BYU's rank. 11 vs 4**

I'd love to see some data about how well this predicts outcomes.
