husker B-rent Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 http://cfn.scout.com/2/903411.html these guys generally seem pretty consistent in their rankings and i typically agree with what they have to say....even when NU is ranked low. Quote Link to comment

Back In Black Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 terrible rankings..how are they even respected if this is what they do Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 CFN runs their poll as a results based poll not an opinion based poll. come the end of the season, these guys are usually one of the better polls. they tend to come a lot closer than many of the other early season polls...i think it is a lot more unbiased than the other polls..

Husker0181 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Honestly.....when you consider how far we are into the season I don't see a real problem with those rankings. clearly there is a great argument for holding off on having any rankings until the 6th or 7th week of the season. This is a computer generated ranking. What you can easily see is that there is a lot of weight given to undefeated teams....as there should be....as well as SOS. This poll will continue to straighten itself out as more and more games are played. People look at this poll and go nuts because we have all of our biases. Clearly some of these teams won't be here at the end of the season....but really.....if you are talking about how the rankings should look right now.....I can see a pretty good argument for quite a few of these rankings that go against what the AP and Coaches poll show.

WCHusker Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Bizarre rankings, but they get their site views & attention-which is apparently what they are going for. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 This is a computer generated ranking. What you can easily see is that there is a lot of weight given to undefeated teams....as there should be....as well as SOS. It is? Where do you see that? I see them explain that Alabama jumps Florida because of Tebow's concussion. Do you believe there is really a computer program variable for that? wrt SOS, of the teams we've beaten, they only have one win over an FBS school, and that would be ULaLa over K State. I've never seen much of real quality at CFN. I still don't. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I normally call CFN a joke, now I just have respect for them Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 just look back at the end of this season and with the exception of USC (off of name recognition) this will likely be pretty close... Quote Link to comment

I see. Like last year? When their top 10 after week 4 included LSU, Missouri, Wisconsin and Auburn? http://cfn.scout.com/2/792838.html Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Polls just suck period. Bring on the playoffs!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 This isn't really a poll it's a ranking system. Similar to the NFL Power Rankings. Therefore it's not supposed to be a judge of who will finish in that spot but who they feel has played themselves into that spot on the field to that particular point in the season. - Which unlike most polls means teams can jump up and down all over the place and not necessarily only move up or down only when other teams win/lose ahead of them.
