Nearly all of the computer rankings like Oregon more than USC and have them generally ranked higher than the polls do. Stupid flawed humanity.<br /><br />The most well-known computer ranking has the Ducks at #3, but what they submit to the BCS has them at #5 because the BCS removed margin of victory from its equation awhile back. (Margin of victory, incidentally, is a bit of a slippery slope - the Ducks, for example, could have easily won yesterday's game by 40 points but decided to play it safe with Masoli and put in a lot of reserves on defense. Meanwhile, Alabama and Iowa do not really get punished for squeaking by.)<br /><br />http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt09.htmmaddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493650721714521989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999088286115850898.post-20929021848640036662009-10-25T11:29:23.046-07:002009-10-25T11:29:23.046-07:00This team is horribly underrated but let's see...This team is horribly underrated but let's see if they can pass their big test against SC.kevincrumbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154861009949155678noreply@blogger.com
