Re: who does tOSU play in the title game?
[ QUOTE ]
assani, if osu is so undeserving why do the computers rank them so high? there was no preseason bias from the computers. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt07.htm [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

Bad teams can't. |

[/ QUOTE ] agreed. That doesn't mean good teams always try to run up the score. Also "bad teams can't run up the score" does not logically imply "a team that can't run up the score is a bad team."(If A then not B does not mean that If not B then A) |

Re: who does tOSU play in the title game?
Honestly, I liked the old system better.
I have no problem with multiple teams all claiming to be national champs. It's much better than one game getting declared the NC game and the winner getting crowned even if they back into the game and barely squeek out a victory while a team likely just as good and with the same record wins their game by a blowout and can't even be considered for the Championship. |

Re: who does tOSU play in the title game?
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 guess I was wrong about Va. Tech. I really thought they'd be higher than that. |
