NEMIndex Through Bowl Games (w/o National Championship)

NEMindex results after all of the bowl games, not including the National Championship.  Kinda odd results I guess.  I would have expected TCU to jump up to 2nd and Michigan to fall obviously.  I think the neutral sites is having a decent impact here, and the fact that those playoff games were so insanely close.  Note how close the 3rd, 4th, and 5th place teams are in the normalized RTPS index.

TCU and UGA will have one more chance to solidify their ranking.  If TCU wins that one, I gotta think they'll climb a fair amount.
