With Massey and Sagrin which are computer generated based on a wide variety of criteria specific to opponents and scoring margin, the values they generate early in a new year are very suspect because the data is either a year old or it is based on too few results and too few connections between results (common opponents for every team and every opponent.) As the conference season gets into its second month, the data begins to fill in and those issues become better defined. I think we are finally getting to that point where the results should be pretty solid.

That said, no idea what results have caused a sudden move, but if you look at surprise results from the previous day (or week) you will probably find a few victories or losses on teams resumes that have become less or more significant. There are a few teams that looked really strong a few days ago that are struggling now including TN, SC and Rutgers. And because the programs use MOV as well it doesn't actually have to be losses, it can be 2 point wins by a good program over a really poor program.
