  • Jeff Sagarin: Utes no. 1

    http://www.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt08.htm

    See the red column; it's what the BCS uses

    Computers don't lie, people do
    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

      Awesome.

      The AP does not use the red column.

      The Utes are screwed in the AP.

        The computer itself has rebelled. For this all to make sense shouldn't the computer now say FL is no. 1? I feel like I'm back in differential equations and can't check my damn solution. Somewhere I took a wrong turn and it's all fucked up!

          PURE POINTS is also known as PREDICTOR, BALLANTINE, RHEINGOLD, WHITE OWL and is the best single PREDICTOR
          of future games. The ELO-CHESS will be utilized by the Bowl Championship Series(BCS).
          Predictor is the better of the two rankings and Utah is 10th in that one.
          Everything in life is an approximation.

            Well, first of all, you have insufficient data. The BCS rankings are an amalgam of several polls, not just the two you have posted. So you need to wait and see. Also, I stopped paying attention to all the factors that go into the BCS rank, but computer polls are only a part of it, no?

            The AP does not take into account any of the BCS ranks.

            Based off Sagarin's overall rank, I think it shows that Utah's AP title hopes are diminishing. AP voters still have bias. And much of it is pro-BCS. Fair or no, that is reality.

            Good night, sweet prince. I am sleepy.

              Are you saying there is no bias in the BCS polls? Or just not as much?

                You can check your solutions to differential equations.

                  real diff. equations are solved numerically on computers.
                  And it's claimed that they lie.

                    I'm not saying you can always solve them by hand. But you can ALWAYS check your answer.

                    SU just trying to sound smart and hoping no one calls him on it. Does he do this with ballet/wine/ancient history/etc too?

                      You took a diff eq class?
