I know its way to early, but its interesting to see where we stack up with the computers early on. 3 of the 6 show their rating. we are ranked 1 in sagarin's; 2 in billingsley; 14 in colley.

and we have 4 of the top ten in the next 5 weeks.

All any SEC team has to do is KEEP WINNING.

WTF is with the Colley? I don't care about LSU at #14, but Notre Dame at #2? UF at #3? Something tells me that poll needs to disappear.

Colley is probably the best computer polls in the BCS rankings, mainly due to its transparency in how it does it rankings.

Sagarin and I'm pretty sure Billingsley both use pre-season rankings/biases that help their computer polls look "normal" for the first several weeks (not sure how many). After several weeks (probably around the time the BCS first polls is released) they drop the pre-season rankings from their formulas and you'll probably see some shift in the rankings.

Colley doesn't do that. Which is why his computer ranking seems wacky for several weeks. Once enough teams play each other and they become interconnected, the rankings start to look better and fall in line with how you should suspect the rankings to look.
