cfb data warehouse updates their all time program rankings

Very cool.

Princeton at 13. I know they have a good history, but seeing that's hilaious.

Interesting that for this decade OSU has higher schedule points than LSU.

USC, if it wins the NC next year will probably surpass Alabama (no. 2) and further narrow the gap with ND. If ND doesn't get things turned around in the next 1 to 2 years, USC will become no. 1 all time in about 2 more years.

The Ivy League schools dominated the first 50 years of college football.

Pretty reasonable IMO

Sagarin consistently comes up with counterintuitive rankings, for example in conference and schedule strenght.

Sagarin's system weighs location of games played very heavily... so much so that he may rank teams which went on the road and lost badly against a decent opponent higher than a team which stayed home and won their games - or he may rank the quality of your schedule pretty much the same if you go on the road and play a bad or mediocre team rather than stay at home and play an average or better team

As the saying goes, garbage in, garbage out. His formula doesn't work well, and a common sense evaluation shows it. His rationale just isn't sound. It seems to me a home game against a top 5 or 10 team is much harder than an away game at no. 35. Is is just me?

The SEC also just moved in front of the Pac 10 in the conference rankings by decade (2000-2007).
