With the cancellation of many games due to the hurricanes, there are teams with just two games played and even teams with one game played. Because the system uses only current season game results and no further information, these teams have little data at this point. This will all start to shake out in the next couple weeks as a more reasonable data set is reached.
More information on this system can be found here. Conference rankings are listed at the bottom. Thanks to Ken Massey for the data. These rankings are included on Massey’s ranking composite page.
