BCS Top 10

How in the hell is Missouri number 4 in the computer rankings?

And none of that contradicts my point.

The system is, and has always been flawed. Passing it off as a concrete point of reference, which is exactly what you do, is comical.

What do you think I am passing off as a "concrete point of reference"?

What "system" do you think I am defending?

I understand how it works. The produced results still suck.

Then why have you continued to misquote the ratings and argue against some other theoretical system that has nothing to do with the ratings we are discussing?

And yet, by your own admission, it's a flawed system that produces inaccurate results. So why use it as a point of reference?

What are you on about? The BCS is flawed. Using margin of victory to rate football performance is not.

At this point, Oregon is #1 by default. The teams in front of them have lost, so naturally, they've moved up. But as I said, rankings to this point in the season are meaningless. A few seasons back, ASU and South Florida were both top 3 teams. They didn't get any trophies.

Wrong.

Oregon is #1 because they received the vast majority of #1 votes and are now decently ranked in the computer polls as well. In other words, people are showing them a lot of respect for what they have accomplished so far this season.
