Message: [QUOTE="Patman, post: 5124873, member: 3391"] right now, "my computer" has TX in 8th at 10-1, GA in 9th at 9-2, Bama in 16th at 8-3, tennessee in 19th at 9-2. Of course selectors will not follow a computer output but it does say something. Right now its saying that a lot of schools at the top in non-SEC programs have proven contradictions. The one that has the most is BYU (10th). Notre Dame (11th) has a single atrocious one. Everybody else has a single loss to somebody good OSU (2nd) to Oregon, Boise (3rd) to Oregon, Penn State (4th) to OSU, Indiana (5th) to OSU, SMU (6th) to Miami... after that its iffy. Miami (7th) has a singular against Pitt, Texas's is against Georgia which isn't so bad but their schedule is 60th. The politics will not accept that the SEC is in a down year or rather that there's no good data reason to reject a lot of the top teams. You have to start introducing previous years success as the argument as to why the paper is wrong. I think the one on "my computer" I like the least is BYU because of their two recent losses and their basically tie against Utah... but the next team on the horizon on my rankings is not an SEC program but Illinois (12th) at 8-3, Arizona State (13th) at 9-2, and Iowa State (14th) at 9-2 and then Kansas State. Big reality, the SEC is down as a whole this year. that just means their mortal but they're mortal AND their flagship programs have all 2 losses or 3 losses except Texas (who I know is in their first year but... ya know). Really its polling inertia and modern media keeping the SEC in play. By polling inertia i mean its own way that it tends to rank... not quite like ladder ranking but those rankings tend to shuffle teams up and down than measure things out. [/QUOTE]
