Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 3885869, member: 6872"] Massey's is not unbiased and objective. It has a bias toward the PAC built in to its algorithm and had it built in [B]before the season began[/B]. That bias is reflected in the SOS of PAC teams [U]who have played nobody out of conference.[/U] Do you really think that an "unbiased, objective and logically developed" system could rank 8-loss Oregon as the 8th best team in the nation this year? They are even ranked by Massey four spots above 5-loss Arizona that played in the same conference and beat them twice by 16 and 20 points. The difference in Massey's SoS is negligible Massey is seriously flawed. Note: I think a case could also be made that Massey's overranks SCar for the same reasons. How can we be ranked so much higher than NC State and TxA&M who beat us? Granted, we played an excellent schedule against numerous top 16 conference teams, as well as two Top 5 teams and two top 25-ish teams out of conference. But it still makes a "human logic" curious. Does Massey's put any value on head to head? [/QUOTE]
