Though it is always possible a few more polls could be entered in CFRC, I think the rankings will pretty much be solid as the final rankings for the season.
M is currently #77 (good showing in the polls, Big Ten). That means M improved 20 spots from end of last season (not 40). I am still going to use 40 spots, because I want to be positive about next season. At # 37, here is what would happen (home field will be applied later.)
Conn #34 Loss
ND #51 Win
Mass Win
Bowling Grn #76 Win
IND #91 Win
MSU #57 Win
Iowa #11 Loss
PSU #10 Loss
ILL #90 Win
PU #68 Win
WIS #18 Loss
OSU #6 Loss
That's 7-5. Conn became a loss after they rose a bit more.
Accounting for home field
Conn #34 This would have to be a home win
at ND #51 I have to count this as a loss
Mass Win
Bowling Grn #76 Win
at IND #91 Win
MSU #57 Win
Iowa #11 Loss
at PSU #10 Loss
ILL #90 Win
at PU #68 Win
WIS #18 Loss
at OSU #6 Loss
Again 7-5.
Wisconsin is the closest thing to a toss doing it this way. Even with that game, M would finish 8-4, and that is with M improving twice as much as the previous improvement. It isn't all that encouraging, but it is an improvement. And with a bowl win, it is a 2-5 game improvement which is rather significant.
