As for Wash they got hammered in all but one of their losses and don't really have any marquee wins. Looking at their schedule losing to a bunch of good teams is probably driving them being ranked higher than they ought be. It's nothing I haven't said before. I like computer polls, they take bias out and make you think about teams maybe a little differently than you would otherwise but they're just a tool, there isn't one that exists that's perfect. ASU & Wash highlight that. Marrying yourself to those results regardless can paint you into a corner. |

That said if MU wins they will jump Bammer. I think it is a virtual certainty, they are ahead of us by a pretty slim margin. |

Not at all. I think it is all for not because the other teams will win but if OSU loses and Missouri wins Mizzou will be lining up for a national championship.

Hilarious stuff right here. You're now reduced to making things up. I guess that's all you've got left. I'm fascinated though to find out more about my views on global warming so don't leave me hanging!

You can look at Vegas lines as well, they too are extremely accurate. I don't discuss them very often because they're on a game basis and not a composite rank. For these discussion here and on TV studios computers should be given 90% weight and polls 10% at most. Computers and Vegas utterly annihilate polls in predictive ability and the research is crystal clear on that. If anyone thinks polls are accurate, just watch the Heisman ceremony. See the regional vote breakdown. Laugh when you see the blatant bias. Why would people trust their team voting any better? |

Vegas lines are rarely "right". They are simply good at missing each direction an equal number of times over the long run. Computers are the same way. If you take everything in aggregate, they tend to be correct. In the short term, they are extremely unreliable because they are susceptible to outliers (Washington, Arizona State, etc.).
Relying on them to be accurate on an individual basis is about as smart as flipping a coin ten times and, when it comes up heads seven times, declaring that heads is definitively a more likely outcome in coin flips. Computer models sacrifice accuracy for precision. Even in the long term (especially in the long term), this is true. If it weren't true, the computers would agree with one another.

They are higher than Alabama, beat them and won that division. In your mind that proves they are better. In the minds of Vegas they'd be 10 point dogs if they replayed it. I'll take their opinion over yours no offense.

If Auburn loses to Mizzou, they will be ranked higher than Alabama? Interesting.

Perhaps the 2,000 posts you have in the realignment threads have something to do with it.
