NUance Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Also two-loss Clemson and two-loss South Caroliny are ahead of Nebraska. It seems that the Sagarin model does not punish a team if they get beat by a better team. I wonder what Texas will be ranked after Baylor beats them this Saturday. They'll be 2-3 and their stats will be very close to Louisiana Tech, ranked 88th this week: 25 Texas A = 81.64 2 2 72.74( 16) 88 Louisiana Tech A = 64.82 2 3 74.89( 10) So will Sagarin drop Texas down to somewhere around 88th?

FrankWheeler Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Here is a good website with a composite of all sorts of different rating systems: http://www.masseyratings.com/cf/compare.htm Sagarin is one of the handful of systems that has Nebraska below 20 but its certainly not the lowest (Catherwood!!!!)

Kernal Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Computer polls are no less biased than human polls, and Sagarin's is no different. The reason is that there are millions of factors that influence the outcomes of games, and the bias comes in picking and choosing which factors are important enough to measure and include. In truth, nobody knows which combination of factors should be used. I personally don't think rankings and polls are very useful at all, not with the very limited number of games played. The way to determine a champion is with playoffs, like every other true sport uses. The one ranking I look at is the RPI. It uses only wins and losses, and wins and losses of opponents. It gets better as the season goes along and more games are included. But it's still no substitute for actual head-to-head competition.
