Abstract

Based on ranking change of college football teams from week to week in AP polls, a metric to measure the topsy-turviness of college football weeks has been developed. Six recent seasons (2002–2007) were used in the analysis. The 2007 season turned out to be the most topsy-turvy, while the 2004 season was the most stable. These findings were confirmed with other measurements, such as change in ranking from week to week and number of weeks deemed topsy-turvy or stable based on the average and standard deviation of all TT factor numbers. Other polls, such as the USA Today poll, resulted in similar trends.
