mitchp Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Frequent guest lurker here -- just got back from Jacksonville and signed up. (Awesome experience at the game and in the town, BTW.) I thought I'd share a web site I've been working on with everyone. It uses the "transitive property" of college football to show that one team is better than another. Flawed logic, now doubt, which makes it pretty fun. Here's a nice intra-state battle showing that Dana College is better than the Huskers. http://www.myteamisbetterthanyourteam.com/...;loser=Nebraska Anyway, please give it a try, send me any feedback you have, and let your friends know about the site. -mitchp Quote Link to comment

Army Husker Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hahaha, very interesting. Neat website! For a second...seems like no matter who you put in, it works out in the end. I'd like to see a team not better than another. Quote Link to comment
mitchp Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 For a second...seems like no matter who you put in, it works out in the end. I'd like to see a team not better than another. You have to pick the undefeated teams as the Your Team, like Utah. There are others in the other divisions that are undefeated as well, I'm pretty sure. Until this weekend, Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech had only beaten each other. Once Ole Miss beat Texas Tech, it was possible to connect to those three teams, plus TCU (who had only lost to OU) and Boise St. (who had only lost to TCU). There might be some other "islands" of teams out there. Ole Miss is my Division I Transitive Property MVP for the season, beating both Florida and Texas Tech. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo also beat San Diego St., which opened up a lot of the lower division teams to beat the FBS teams. The inter-divisional games are my favorite to watch since I started the project. I'll be watching them a lot more closely at the beginning of the '09 season. Go Big Red! And Go Army!

Here's one from a couple years ago that worked out for every team. the thread I think I'd picked our upcoming Bowl Opponent at the time... http://www.cfbanalyzer.com/cgi-bin/year.cgi?year=2006 Nebraska beatMissouri who beat Mississippi who beat Vanderbilt who beat Georgia who beat Auburn BUT Auburn beatWashington St who beat Oregon St who beat Southern Cal who beat Nebraska Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 According to that older site, It looks like the Antelopes should be playin' the Sooners in the Orange Bowl. College Football Victory Chain Linker Version 1.0 Nebraska-Kearney beatMesa St who beat Colorado Mines who beat Fort Hays St who beat Washburn who beat Missouri St who beat Youngstown St who beat North Dakota St who beat Southern Illinois who beat Northern Iowa who beat New Hampshire who beat Army who beat Louisiana Tech who beat Mississippi St who beat Vanderbilt who beat Mississippi who beat Florida Quote Link to comment

They do a really good job of explaining the logic for those of us (like me) who are geeky enough to care. Quote Link to comment
