November 30, 200916 yr In this week's version of the BCS Top 25 every ranked Big 11 team is higher than their computer ranking, and every ranked Big East team is lower. The Old Boy Network. Alive and well...
November 30, 200916 yr Author Even more interesting... The Big Ten was 1-2 vs. ND, while the BE was 2-0. Last place Syracuse has won as many games against the Big Ten as it has won against the BE, one. Their 1 win against the Big Ten was against tied for 3rd place Northwestern. The BE and Big Ten only played 4 games this year, with Syracuse having 3 of those. The record was 2-2 for both conferences. Obviously, both of the Big Ten's wins coming against the last placed BE team. And 1 of those wins needing overtime. The first place Big Ten team (OSU) lost at home to the current tied for 3rd Pac 10 team. The current first place BE team (UC) won on the road at the current 2nd place Pac 10 team.

November 30, 200916 yr What all goes into human ranking$$$$??? Agreed, but I am seriously wondering about the computers.
November 30, 200916 yr What all goes into human ranking$$$$??? I'm not sure I'm following you here. Are you saying that Big 10 coaches are voting higher for their teams than they should? How many Big 10 coaches vote in the coaches poll? How many Big East coaches?
November 30, 200916 yr Author Agreed, but I am seriously wondering about the computers. Each of the 6 computer formulas used are different. Do some of your own homework and look them up...
