SFGate's power ranking came up on my Google Feed. They generated these rankings using Data Skrive which bills itself as "a technology company that takes human-written and -edited content, and then uses AI to assemble it into original sports and entertainment articles". Here are the rankings and projected records for each team (they don't count FCS games for some reason):
1. Miami 10-1
2. Louisville 10-1
3. Duke 9-2
4. SMU 8-3
5. Florida State 4-7
6. Virginia Tech 8-4
7. BC 6-5
8. UNC 6-5
9. Georgia Tech 4-7
10. Clemson 6-5
11. Virginia 4-7
12. Pitt 7-4
13. Cal 6-5
14. Stanford 2-9
15. Wake 2-9
16. Syracuse 3-8
17. NC State 4-7
I have no problem with Miami and Louisville being 1 and 2. Projecting Pitt as the 12th best team with 7 (really 8) projected wins is ridiculous along with Clemson being 10th. Some of the win totals seem out of wack especially Duke, Syracuse, and Clemson.
