Seems a bit skewed at the top, but do we really know based on any rating system? We need a playoff!

 

[Bryan]

Can you break down the forumla, specifically as it applies to Cal being #2?

Agreed, it would really expose Notre Shame as frauds. They would be the first to go.

More opinion. Bring on the tournament, where the outcome is decided on the field as it should be.

I agree, I'd love to see ND vs WVU. The final score would be 84 - 56, WVU mashing ND's run D but ND dissecting WVU's lackluster secondary.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Cal is #2? Rofl.

 

[BlancoNino]

lol GO CAL!!

 

[TuxDave]

Go Bears!

 

[Fingolfin269]

West coast bias!! It's a conspiracy!

 

[dullard]

I too would really like to see a playoff. Over the years, I've posted my ideal playoff version here.

The formula is listed here.

 

[slsmnaz]

Here's proof that Cal is not the #2 team in the country. (Please note the time and the fact that #8 is our backup, 2nd string freshman QB.)

I will try hard not make the same arguments I have been repeating every time but your comps love affair w/ the PAC-10 borders on stalking.

Agreed, his rankings are broken. Nobody gets blown out like that and deserves to be #2 even if they blow out every other opponent during the season.

The computer does not know what conferences that any team is in. The Win optimization lists Cal as #3. The score optimization lists Cal as #3. Neither of the computer scores I list shows Cal at #2. Yet you blame the computer for putting them in #2 when neither computer optimization did. I don't have any positive feelings towards the Pac-10. In fact, some of my most disliked are there.

Of my top 10 teams:
[*]SEC: 4
[*]Big 10: 2
[*]Pac 10: 2
[*]Big East: 2.
And yet, somehow this favors the Pac 10? Especially when they are fairly evenly distributed (the top 8 are 2 of each of the above)?

Of my top 25 teams:
[*]SEC: 4
[*]Big East: 4
[*]Pac 10: 4
[*]Acc: 4
[*]Big 10: 3
[*]Big 12: 3
[*]Wac: 1
[*]Ind: 1
[*]Mount West: 1
Again, the 6 main conferences all have almost the same number of top 25 teams. And you call that biased.

No, my friend, your post simply shows that you are the biased poster.

 

[ElFenix]

i guess i don't have much argument except for that i think LSU is overrated. how does a team with no offense get to the second highest score rating? by playing creampuff after creampuff, i suppose

 

[slsmnaz]

The fact that SoCal is still ahead of Florida is my key. They beat #7 (handily) and #9 (close) in your poll and lost to #10 (close). SoCal had to stage a miracle comback to get it close against #27 in your poll (who was 4-3 at the time).

 

[ElFenix]

this isn't something i have the skill with computers to get around to doing, but i'd like to have a schedule strength ranking where wins over teams ranked more than 25 spots below you are all collapsed to the same value.

Probably closer to 84 - 77, since neither team could stop Southeast Louisiana School for the Blind from scoring touchdowns.

Then there's Auburn that beat #5 (Florida), #7 (LSU), #20 (Washington State).

No offense dullard but these rankings are becoming comical.

I see only 3 ACC teams listed in your top 25, BC, Clemson, and VT. Also the 1 loss Wake Forest is listed at 40 directly behind the 4-4 UCLA? The 6-2 Coastal division leader Georgie Tech is at 34? USC is still as high as #4? Michigain isn't #2? You have a goofy ranking system man, that's all I can say.

This seems to be the complaint I hear most frequently...that teams are ahead of teams that blew them out.

Define a blowout as a win of 15 points or greater. Among the top 25 teams (by AP, BCS, and Dullard), these are the orders teams would be in, based on the blowout criterion:

Ohio State > Texas (was blown out 24-7) > Oklahoma (28-10) > Missouri (etc.)
USC > Arkansas > Auburn > Washington State
Tennessee > California > Oregon
California > Washington State
Michigan > Notre Dame
Boston College > Virginia Tech > Clemson > Georgia Tech
Michigan State > Pittsburgh

AP poll
6 out of the blowout order
Auburn > USC > Arkansas; Clemson > Georgia Tech > Virginia Tech

BCS ranking
8
Auburn > USC > Arkansas; California > Tennessee; Clemson > Georgia Tech > Virginia Tech

Dullard
7
Auburn > Washington State > Arkansas; California > Tennessee; Pittsburgh > Michigan State

 

[Syringer]

And I'm sure I'll get the same complaints of Cal ahead of Tenn, etc

Or, the fact that a one loss team is ahead of an undefeated Big-10 team. You might as well throw darts at a board with each team being represented by a dart..

I found the following article about the BCS computers interesting. http://www.denverpost.com/portlet/artic...rticle.jsp?articleId=4572554&siteId=36

The group doesn't weigh enough to fill three offensive lineman uniforms at Ohio State. Together, however, they create a formidable team that could knock a school from the Jan. 8 title game more efficiently than any offensive scheme.

They represent the six computer rankings that make up one third of the BCS formula determining the top two teams that will meet for the national championship in Glendale, Ariz.

Dullard, would you be any help in filling and O-Line uniform?

Two of me (140 lbs) wouldn't quite make the cut. Although, now that I think about it, if my GF (95 lbs I'd estimate) had an identical twin, and I was sandwiched in the middle, then we'd together fill one O-line uniform. Plus, the result would be wonderful.

Good article.

What's tough is deciding what, exactly, rankings should rank.

I see the biggest conflict in whether they should show how good a season a team has had vs. how good they are at the current point in time. That is, should a good ranking be a reward or a prediction?

Should Oklahoma lose some credit for its early season wins because they're down a RB who was averaging 150+ yards/game? Should Cal's opening day shellacking be forgotten because of its apparent improvement since then? For that matter, should a team that loses for the first half of the season, then miraculously finds its mojo and subsequently destroys everyone, including ranked teams, in the second half be considered?
