Scratchtown Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Ya because the SEC just isn't that good. 2 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Is the world finally realizing the SEC has been over rated? 1 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The SEC shouldn't have 8 teams in the Top 25. We could beat some of those teams and we're not rated. (But I'm not saying we should be). 1 Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The quickest way into the polls is to beat one of the over rated SEC teams (that's every one but Alabama). Quote Link to comment
GBRFAN Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 hard to beat them when they aren't in our conference and not sure most of them would schedule us. 1 Quote Link to comment

Except if you are a Big Ten team (Wisconsin). Wisconsin who went unranked to in the top 10 after beating LSU? That Wisconsin? Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 No I'm pretty sure if we went and beat Alabama tomorrow in Tuscaloosa we eould at best be ranked 4th because no way they drop Bama further than 3rd regardless of a loss. Quote Link to comment

I saw 3 in the Top 10 and my mind jumped to OSU, Michigan, and Michigan State. Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Beat the Ducks and we are in the polls - maybe # 21 Quote Link to comment
drfish Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 This is not hard to determine, We can simply use the voter calculus: The chances of being ranked in the top 25 are: (W/(1+L) + R + H + (25 - PR)/3)/ G = BRPI (Being Ranked Probability index) where W= wins, L= losses, R = wins over ranked teams, H = wins over highly ranked teams, PR = previous ranking (PR of unranked teams is 0), and G = games played If the BRPI is >= 1 you will be ranked. This equation is guaranteed to be 100% accurate 75% of the time. Please note that the equation used to be (W/(1+L) + R + H + SB+ (25 - PR)/3)/ G = BRPI where SB was 1 for any SEC team, and 0 for anyone else. The SB adjustment has been removed for this season. What could be easier. We see that Nebraska's numbers are: current: ((2/(1+0)) + 0 + 0 + (25-26)/3)/2 = 0.83 Win over the Ducks : (3/(1+0) +1 + 0 +(25-26)/3)/3 = 1.2 Last year's final rankings: (6/(1+7) +1 + 1 + 0 + (25-26)/3)/13 = 0.18 (note: last year's equation had the SB cofactor that is gone from this year's equation, though there is a move by ESPN to have it reinstated) Note: edited for misplaced ")" Quote Link to comment
