I don't understand why everyone is okay with Oklahoma being ranked so high. They have played ONE road game (cinci who is 3-3) and one neutral site game with Texas, had a hard time with Utah St. @ home (not Utah...Utah STATE), Struggled with Air Force @ home. They have a decent win against Florida St, and Jeckle and Hyde Texas.
I for one am not impressed with Oklahoma!
I would love to see an Oregon vs Oklahoma for the championship! I think Oregon would man handle them!
I'm not counting my ducks yet, because Oregon has a LOT of tough games ahead of them!, but honestly.......Oklahoma?

If you're an Oregon fan, I don't think you can complain about other teams being ranked "too high". To be fair, the ducks haven't beaten anyone good except for Stanford so far.

Your absolutly right, they haven't played a tough schedule (not our fault Tennessee sux this year). But, It's hard to argue with the #'s.duckgrad99 wrote:If you're an Oregon fan, I don't think you can complain about other teams being ranked "too high".

I only have a probs with Oklahoma and LSU being in the top 10. I would have been more comfortable with Auburn being #1 in the BCS.

Re: What is your top 10?
I think that the rankings should be 100% objective, based on points. So, my ranking follows Sagarin's points only column:
#1 Oregon
#2 Stanford
#3 TCU
#4 Boise State
#5 Alabama
#6 Missouri
#7 Oklahoma
#8 South Carolina
#9 Florida State
#10 Nebraska
These rankings may be shocking to some. But, they are all supported by how teams performed on the field against opponents of various strengths. For example, Auburn needed over-time to beat 3-3 Clemson and LSU only beat 2-4 UT by 2 points, bringing their ratings down. At the same time, teams that have one or even two losses are not necessarily worse (on average) than undefeated teams. For example, South Carolina who gained a lot of merit by beating Alabama by 14 (who had been blowing everyone out).
The only thing I would change is to add a cap on points counted. That might make some adjustments for teams with lots of cupcakes (including Oregon this year). But, I don't think it applies as much for this example because the purpose of the cap would be to discourage running up scores. Since doing that doesn't count and coaches know that, it shouldn't have been a factor this year. Although, some personalities are probably more inclined to run up scores than others and that could skew the results some.

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas. I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea; cannot touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss //////// Follow me one Tumblr/blog http://f***-kp.tumblr.com/
