Yes, boys, one of the BCS's formulas for deciding the National Champion rates North Dakota State higher than Oregon, Florida, USC among others. Unreal.
 
you can find it on that link, its in the red.

His blue "Predictor" rankings are what he considers his most accurate, but are unable to be used due to the BCS restrictions put in place after the '01 fiasco.
 
and why is a 5-1 team with the 39th ranked schedule ranked #8, a 5-1 team with the 60th ranked schedule #15 while a 5-1 team with the 27th ranked schedule ranked #19?

a 5-2 team with the 48th ranked schedule is 17...
a 5-2 team with the 40th ranked schedule is 33...

Too much bullshit here to comprehend, I haven't even seen the others.
 

a 5-2 team with the 48th ranked schedule is 17...
a 5-2 team with the 40th ranked schedule is 33...


It all just shows how the BCS screws up these guys' formulas when they make them take out important aspects of the original formula (margin of victory).
 
Also, Sagarin himself says his rankings get much more accurate as the season goes on. I wouldn't worry too much about what they are right now.

It has always been that way and if people knew how to use his ratings it makes a nice capping tool. Alot more has to be incorporated into those ratings to get close to the real line. :7_17_4:
