Message: [QUOTE="Puppy Love, post: 5181266, member: 8101"] So my thought is this. The polls (both AP and coaches) are a combination of win- loss records, and an eye test as to which teams are the best. Massey and the net are straight up mathematical models. I think they’re lacking in that they don’t take momentum into account as much as they should. Notre Dame is being unfairly penalized for their early losses. I think at the end of the year, the seeding will be based on ‘What did you do during the season‘ but with a heavy factor of ‘what have you done lately’. If I had to guess, as of today, I would say the three best teams are South Carolina, Notre Dame and UCLA. I think that is going to hold out for the rest of the season. I’ve seen USC, Texas, LSU, and UConn all play, and I would put USC and UConn ahead of LSU and Texas, but that’s just a guess. I’d be very surprised if the National Champion came out of anyone other than these 7 teams though. [/QUOTE]
