Sure- the #marblegame goes like this:

1. Every Power 5 team (+ND & BYU) starts with 200 marbles, all other FBS teams start with 100

2. Win at home, take 20% of your opponent's marbles, Win on road, take 25%

Nate Miller (@NateEMiller) coded the algorithm, here's the last time it was run in 2019. Running it last year was a waste of time because basically there were no inter-conference games.

I think one reasonable update to the algorithm is basing starting # of marbles on a team's schedule: 200 for each P5 opponent, 100 for each non-P5 FBS opponent, etc.

Rewards non-P5 teams with tough schedules, and penalizes P5 teams who schedule patsies.
