Sounds like the difference is also Sagarin's bullshite then as well.


If it comes down to this and people start questioning Sagarin's obvious issues what happens?

Alabama will win the Wolfe by a nearly negligible margin. That will be the difference.


I will be willing to be someone meaningless game in September could have flipped Wolfe too.

I think if there wasn't an SECCG, Bama would be left out. LSU winning yesterday probably bumped them up just enough to block OSU passing them.

eta:

I'm revising my #'s though to

Bama: 0.9408
OSU: 0.9364

because I forgot to account for Stanford. I think a few OSU pro peeps will attempt to manipulate by voting Bama #4.

No, but between Edwards and Palm both saying it is Bama along with rumors of Bama being #2 in Wolfe - it is looking close to official. I assume Edwards and Palm know something (but I always seem to fall their BS)

Same thing that happens when you question obvious official bias. Or when you bring up how ridiculous a system is.

Nothing. Unless it makes more money to make a small change to pretend you care.

I can't get over the fact that Alabama will probably be going to the NC and they didn't even win their division.

I've seen the media get a hold of something and run with it because of the controversial topic. The ATPB craziness was being reported on from posts on this site. Surely, we can stir the shite pot if we wanted to.

I can't get over the fact that LSU winning yesterday may have put Bama over OSU in the computers.

it's a reverse SEC play-off. #1 and #2 play for the right to play #3.

Sagarin should have to release his formula. Based on the numbers, it makes no sense for Alabama to be #2, especially considering OU is still #6.


Yeah, Sagarin has 9-3 OU in fourth place (6th in ELO Chess). His poll should be yanked just for that.

I really hope both Sagarin and Wolfe are forced to reveal their formulas after this shite.

Why? Wildcards win the super bowl, second place teams win the stupid basketball championships, non-first place baseball teams win the world series.......why should college football be only for the division champs? You're reasoning is not logical and you are attempting to make logical.
