I trust Rick Tellshow. He's a mathmatetian (sp?) Who has studied the formula for years and he hs us at 10.

The cumputer polls average has us lower than the human polls, so the bias really isn't there.

It's not a complicated formula and most of the polls are out so anyone could figure it out.  The poll listed above uses an estimate for 1 poll that isn't out yet.  Does this guy (link, btw) have the formulas for the 2 missing computer polls?

Just like last year the computers help to erase the BIAS towards this program. Makes it more of a fair shot for us.

there is no bias against us.

we were ranked number 2 last season for cripes sake.

being ranked #10 after 5 weeks after having beaten only 1 ranked opponent is pretty **** good compared to last season's #2 ranking, which came in week 6 after we had two wins over ranked teams-- including the conference favorite-- under our belt.

#10 is right where we need to be right now.

Tellshow explains that he is currently using the average team ranking shown on the college football ranking comparison site for each of the two missing polls. USF though has moved up a spot on CFRC since Tellshow computed his quasi BCS rankings, so if he updates, that might move us up to #9.

In previous years, Tellshow did "guestimate" each missing poll, as he did supposedly work out their their formulas. I'm not sure why he has now changed over:

Sep 28: The Harris poll is out. BSC standings are up for this week with Anderson and wolfe estimated using Massey's consensus ranking.

College Football Ranking Comparison now has USF #9

Some good point. But, what is your argument for BYU and Texas Tech being ranked as high as they are???

BYU and Texas Tech both have been ranked higher than us since week 1 in the polls and yet we are ahead of them in the "unofficial" BCS standings. None of us have lost any games, so what is your question?!

Nope.

You'll notice he said "not bad" which, while not being negative, is still non-positive
