2020 NCAA FBS Top 25 Ranking for Week 4

As I mentioned in last week's Top 25 ranking, since some entire conferences have not played (as of yet), I have also had to make some changes with the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model in terms of the use of conference fixed effects - specifically deleting all of them and just including a constant term.  As such the comparability of this week's models numbers with past years is no longer as accurate.  But I have chosen to keep the model going, and with more teams entering, more of the estimated coefficients will become statistically significant.

Using aggregate data provided from www.cfbstats.com, the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model most productive team in all of the NCAA FBS is the Southern Methodist University Mustangs.
