This x 1000.............Tell me what kind of formula says you have the best resume of your counterpart but a lower score than him in the rankings?
That is laughable.
One that weights strength of loss significantly.

Sagarin's program must have some really unusual quirks in it. He has Oklahoma ranked #4, Baylor #10, Kansas State #12, Texas A&M #13, Missouri #15 and #Texas #16, and Oklahoma State has beaten all of them. On the other hand, the only team that Alabama beat that's ranked in Sagarin's top 20 is Arkansas at #7, but they're still ranked ahead of Oklahoma State. If the Sagarin ranking is the deciding factor in keeping Oklahoma State out of the big game, T Boone Pickens needs to sue to make Sagarin release his formula.
It has to be strength of loss.
Alabama's loss is viewed by the algorithm as a very small fraction of a loss.
OSU has hit it's ceiling in the ratings. It could beat 6 more top 10 rankings and not move up because there is some component for strength of loss that will be significantly different than Bama's.

Looks like Bama in the NCG ... Computers didn't bounce OSU high enough.

If okie gets these 3 computers, what does that put the % at the coaches?

Jeff Andersen and Chris Hester haven't published as of yet, but last week they had the Pokes ahead of the Tide, and that was before one of OSU's better wins of the season during a Bama bye week.
Last week's Billingsley Report rankings had the Cowboys just a hair behind Alabama, but that seems likely to change.
The Colley Matrix also hasn't been updated yet, but Oklahoma State has a very good chance to take it as well.

If it is strength of loss. Then somebody explain how Oklahoma is number 4?

Would they even post the computer polls or just not give them out until tonight BCS selection?

Someone posted on the MSB about LSU actually losing points in ELO while UGA gained...anyone know if that is true and if so, why?

Ok State has the following in the Bag:
1. Colley - OSU
2. Billingsly - OSU
3. A&H - OSU
Sagarin is out and it goes to Bama
4. Sagarin - Bama
The other two we don't know, but rumors have bama in for Wolfe
5. Wolfe - Rumored Bama
6. Massey?
If OSU gets 3/6 they need 50% of the votes, if they get 4/6 they need 37.5% and 5/6 or 6/6 they need 25%
1. Colley - OSU
2. Billingsly - OSU

Anyone know when Harris and Coaches' Poll ballots were due?
Curious what affect, if any, the leak of computer voting may have on some voters.

Anyone else think it's odd that Andy Staples is the only person who claims to have seen the Wolfe rankings? And he says he's been having them since late last night.

LSUmatt, thanks for your analysis. Could I offer one suggestion? When you post updates in your thread title, could you post the time of the update also?
