Damn right

 

[Scratchtown]

Ya because the SEC just isn't that good.

 

[BigRedBuster]

Is the world finally realizing the SEC has been over rated?

 

[Mierin]

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).

 

[huKSer]

The quickest way into the polls is to beat one of the over rated SEC teams (that's every one but Alabama).

 

[GBRFAN]

hard to beat them when they aren't in our conference and not sure most of them would schedule us.

 

[QMany]

Except if you are a Big Ten team (Wisconsin).

Wisconsin who went unranked to in the top 10 after beating LSU? That Wisconsin?

 

[Redux]

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.

My bad, I didn't see that jump! I saw 3 in the Top 10 and my mind jumped to OSU, Michigan, and Michigan State.

 

[TGHusker]

Beat the Ducks and we are in the polls - maybe # 21

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 ")"
