Because, for a touch screen, the screen itself IS the user interface. Imagine while holding with one hand, you want to reach your thumb to the opposite corner to hit a button. Even if the body of the phone is the same, a larger screen will need a bigger reach for your thumb. That is primary issue.

Here is my poll. I admit it, my bias is too big for ASU this week. I think they should be a few spots lower, but I wanted to rank ASU above Alabama for once in my life.

The bottom five are the next five in, but are ranked alphabetically.

Notre Dame and Ohio State with the HUGE jumps up. That is the big shock here. I guess we just really value wins over Nebraska and Navy.

I predict Liberty will fall out next week. Just a prediction.

I view Army and Navy as being very close in my rankings. They have a 5 spot spread between them, which feels like a huge amount.

I understand, broadly, what your methodology is, but I still find it amazing to see Pitt, Syracuse, and Boise State drop 30 ranks for having the audacity to have a bye week.

We are no longer cowards!! We finally realized Army and Navy are winning, and rewarded then greatly.

Human poll. Quick overview. I try to make the poll a blind resume, as in I don't care about head to head. I prefer consistency over peaks (2 wins over a mid program will rank higher than a win against a top and a loss to a bottom. ). 3. If you are 5-0 or better, you get an auto ranking.

Just for fun, because the end was really hard, here are my next 5 out, not in any particular order

Illinois, Syracuse, Texas Tech, UNLV, Washington State

This was a fun week to try and solve. I don't love a bunch of my placements, but it sure is fun.

We are such cowards. No love for Army or Navy?

Utah is the big winner this week, going from "33" up to 25 all on a bye week. All teams should learn from this.
