BCS Early Computer Rankings - Wow

Illinois?

Clemson ahead of us in both polls.

Oregon at 33

As I scrolled down and saw ULL at #30 in Colley Matrix, I almost fell on the floor laughing. It deserved an update to my original post!!

It has to do with us playing Northwestern State and beating MSU.

Colley is freakin weird. It is geared more toward late season results and always has some odd ranking early to mid season.

ETA:
From what I recall, it starts off all teams even. Then breaks it out by the teams with 1 loss. Then ranks teams that beat another undefeated team over those that beat a 1-loss team. Then, the rankings kinda continue in this manner. It's quite odd.

A&H has Texas' schedule rated tougher than ours. Any system that rates Rice, BYU, UCLA and Iowa State as a tougher schedule than Oregon, NSU, Mississippi State, West Virginia and Kentucky has no business being part of the BCS. I don't care about the argument that these things are always volatile and strange early in the season, there is simply no freaking way that Texas' schedule to this point is anywhere near LSU's, and if the system can't figure that out, even in week 5, then it's worthless.

UO and WVU haven't had tough schedules other than LSU, beating creampuffs only helps SOS so much no matter the gaudy offensive stats, which effects LSU's standings. Bama beat AR and UF, AR beat A&M, what's hard to understand. LSU just needs to keep taking care of business.

We need to come up with our own ranking system. Hrm, I may work on this... develop an algorithm then write a program to do the calculations.

The only problem is finding the data in one place like schedules and results for 120+ teams.

EDIT: Isn't there a TD guy who already does this?
