2014 NCAA FBS Top 25 Ranking for Week 4

Well a quarter of the regular season is now in the books.  I have again estimated the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model Top 25 ranking using data from cfbstats.com.  This week we have a new #1 team - the Marshall Thundering Herd.  Baylor has dropped to #5 (the bubble team in the new college football playoff format).  Thus the four most productive teams using my model are:  Marshall, Alabama, Duke and Mississippi.

Notice that seven of the top 10 teams are in the SEC!

Will this change?  Yes - probably, as the season progresses and as the teams production relative to the rest of the league changes.   Here is this week's top 25.
