Sooner or later Big East fanboys will have to admit that their conference is 3nd rate

Thanks, because it should be considered a sin to root for the conference that your favorite time is in, especially because the BE should be in the same breath as the WAC, Sun Belt, and MAC.

Ahhh, so it's guaranteed that the state of Ohio will win the MNC? Damn Sabathia being such a good OL.

If LSU slips into the NT game I am going to be sick. This is the first year the entire system is disgusting me. Not that the BCS hasn't had bad years before, but this year there is just no way it can work out in a positive way, and the "bcs national champion" should (and will) mean nothing.

tease for my blog that I'll put up late tonight or earlier tomorrow

Georgia has actually underperformed W/L wise verse their schedule compared to how one would expect the #2 team to perform

according to the math here, it's Ohio State and LSU as the two leaders

Of course, Ohio State is the only team that outperformed what one would expect from a #2 team. Every other team underperformed.

+/- compared to a #2
Ohio State +0.212W 0.899p
LSU -0.259W 0.866p
USC -0.263W 0.855p
Georgia -0.288W 0.857p
V Tech -0.577W 0.891p
Oklahoma -0.628W 0.895p

that looks at only wins and losses directly
of course, I'd think margin of victory favors Ohio St and LSU even more

I love your blog, but can you include Kansas please? Also, the difference between -.259 and -.288 is small enough that while I think your numbers are enough to eliminate VT and Oklahoma from contention, I think you need to turn to other methods to differentiate between LSU, USC, and Georgia.
