Pirates and (Golden) Hurricane (singular)! Oh My!

Week 11 rankings will be posted following the conclusion of the ECU vs Tulsa game tonight, or first thing Monday morning. Preliminary results look like Texas is still #1, but Bama has jumped Florida, TCU, and Cincy to move into the #2 spot. It should be noted that the top 3 teams are all extremely close however, so it's still anyone's Chaos Rankings Championship to claim.

While We, WAC Wolfpack Wait...

This week's rankings will be posted following the conclusion of the Nevada vs San Jose State game this evening. Preliminary numbers look like there's a new #1 team, but it's possible the SOS ripple from tonight's game may change that as #1 and #2 are currently separated by less than 0.00041 points, and 1-5 is barely more than 0.01 points. Stay tuned!

UPDATE (11:02 pm): With Nevada up 48-0 at the end of the 3rd, I'm going to bed. I'll process the game's numbers first thing in the morning and get the rankings up shortly thereafter.

Thinning The Herd

Week 9 Chaos Rankings will be posted following the conclusion of tonight's Marshall vs UCF game. This game should have a minimal effect on the top-ranked teams, so I can say with some confidence, based on the numbers right now, the difference between #1 and #4 is less than 0.001 points, meaning that the tiniest thing could alter the order - an extra turnover, playing a weak team, a narrow margin of victory, you name it. It's shaping up to be an exciting finish to the season!
