Here's a question for you: Ask the Trinity players what they care more about...having a Championship Ring on their fingers or being #1 in a final poll that really doesnt mean anything? Hmmm...gonna have think real long and hard about that one
You're right, probably the poll.

If they played tomorrow, would you be shocked if Male won? Male was 3 yards away from beating Trinity. And their other wins are very impressive. Is it that surprising Male would be rated above Trinity?

 

What ifs don't count. Remember Trinity had a game ending field goal go 2 yards to the right or they would have been undefeated. ROCKS win in head to head matchup. That's what counts.

It looks like Ncc's tough schedule didnt help them one bit in the polls.

 

It is not a poll. It is a statistical ranking.

 

And just because one team is ranked ahead of another it does not mean that Team A is going to beat Team B 100% of the time.

 

One of the neater functions of the Massey predictions is the percentage probability of victory. Team A can be ranked #1 and Team B can be ranked #5 but Team A might only have a 55% probability of winning.

 

Likewise Team C can be ranked #10 but may have an 85% probability of beating Team D ranked #15.
