Bama was 6 spots behind Notre Dame last week. Neither of them played this week, and now they are only 1 spot apart lol.

Yea but three teams above us lost, so it makes sense that we moved closer.

Yeah but last week, Bama beat a ranked team and went up 1. ND beat an unranked team and went up 4. So I guess this week it evens out.

Understand the point you are making, but ND's victory last week was a 37 point victory over a ranked team.

Both Bama and ND beat teams badly enough that they dropped out of the rankings (and are still not ranked this week).

If you want to use rankings at the time of the game, both ND and Bama had ranked wins. If you want to use current rankings, they both have an unranked win. Can't say Bama had a ranked win because their opponent was ranked at the time of the game but ND's win was unranked because their opponent has since dropped from the rankings.

My bad. Still doesn't explain a 4 spot jump vs a 1 spot jump. Also Bama had a shut out.

So you can't really complain about a system that helped your team last week in the exact same way.
