Ahead of 10-2 Wisconsin. The computers absolutely love the Big-12-2.
LSU only has 3 games against the Top 30. Oklahoma has played 8 games against the Top 30 so far. OSU has 7 games. Jeez.

So...for Okie State, you're saying there's a chance? 
Apparently, deserve has got nothing to do with the BCS title according to the voters...because Okie State's FBS opponents TROUNCE Bama's "4" FBS winning record opponents.

basically they just played 5 good/elite teams and the 5 losses don't hurt them as badly

Do you realize how weak Wiscy strength if schedule is? Also, aTm is 17th in Sagarins ELO-Chess, not 12. Wiscy is 26th.

which is ridiculous
sagarin can be useful for handicapping games but it just isn't capable of applying common sense - that's just the nature of a computer tho it is limited by whatever games were played that year and vulnerable to a few results skewing what you think of the whole lot of it

well TAMU is a victim of a really tough schedule
let's say that we're ranking teams objectively (1 is better than 2, who is better than 3, etc)
if TAMU lost to better teams, then why should they be punished? TAMU is a funny little outlier that makes the conversation interesting
there isn't a lot of shame in losing to OU, OSU, Texas, KSU, and Arky this year (they do have 1 bad loss elsewhere)

was it Mizzou? Not a horrible loss there, either, based on schedules
