This should save everyone a few minutes:
Okay, let’s get back to the big question: Does the transitive property work in college football?
Yes.

I wish I could go into detail on why everything about this article is wrong, but I can't. Luckily the author discredits his own premise, but unfortunately not until you get to the end.
- epmatsw 11y agoExactly. "It works, except when it doesn't". Considering he even says that it only holds 88% of the time, you would expect 1 or 2 games out of every teams 12-game season to go the "wrong" way. That is more than enough to screw up any ranking you want to make based on the transitive property when you take into account that the top 25 teams all range between 0 and 3 losses.
