No, they are all weighted equally.

I think they'd be a little more accurate with some weighting. I have a hard time believing that Denver (3 straight losses) is better than San Diego (4 straight wins). Vegas would agree --- the Chargers are a 3 point favorite on the road against the Broncos.

Vegas also had the Ravens favored by 2.5 at Cincy last week. Once you start adding weights then it does become a matter of opinion. The best thing to do is not take it literally.

Hurray for updated rankings! (They're up

)

Have you ever thought of taking these poll results and integrating them into your rankings?

Computer numbers alone can't tell the whole story. There needs to be a level of subjectivity involved.

Well that's kind of what I meant to do with having the OS Poll with my vote being the computer rankings. I think that the results of that are probably more accurate in general that the computer polls. I still like to have the pure computer ranking though because my goal is to get as good a formula as I can. To me, the perfect formula would be one that closely models how people subjectively rank teams, i.e. one that would match up well with the actual conducted polls in college football/basketball and the OS Poll for NFL.

But yes, I do agree that computer numbers can't tell the whole story. Especially with situations where teams like Tennessee switch quarterbacks and win four in a row. Clearly, they are better at this very moment than a computer ranking will ever show.
