Homefield advantage (according to Sagarin) took a 1 point dive this week. He says it's only worth 2 points now.Says we also have the 8th hardest schedule so far.LSU is 4-1 against top 30 teams. That's **** good.Auburn is 18th in the ELO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning something I did not know here...1/3 of the BCS is the USA Today Coaches Poll1/3 of the BCS is the Harris Poll1/3 of the BCS is the the AVERAGE of 4 computer polls (after the highest and lowest scores are dropped) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELO_CHESS, has us at 6th, Oregon is 13th, WVU is 9th and Florida is 11th. I think that is much more realistic. It even has BC at #1 and LSU #2 and the OSU chicken****s are #3. Much more realisticAgreed! Nice to some realism.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisconsin's been a fraud all season, Penn State's only win over a Top 50 team is against Wisconsin, and Michigan is still 0-1 in Southern Conference play. But the biggest insult of all is that Rutgers has fewer votes than BOISE FREAKING STATE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always hear and talk about how the Big East is weak. It's not according to Sagarin. He has us 2nd to the SEC.1 SOUTHEASTERN (A) = 80.762 BIG EAST (A) = 79.213 PAC-10 (A) = 78.204 BIG 12 (A) = 78.185 ATLANTIC COAST (A) = 77.366 BIG TEN (A) = 75.37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coaches are not trying to rank teams where they are but more so where they think they will end up at the end of the season. It is human nature, people do not like a lot of change and USF is a dissident team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
