assani, if osu is so undeserving why do the computers rank them so high? there was no preseason bias from the computers.

because the computers take margin of victory greatly into consideration, so that a team is rewarded for running up the score. If you eliminate this and just rank each game as "win" or "loss" and then look at Ohio St vs Hawaii I think it'll tell a different story.

Good teams can run up the score. Bad teams can't.
