    The new Sagarin is out.

    Guess who is ranked #3. I guess BYU still has a victory over the 3rd ranked team in the country.

      elo_chess is what the BCS uses and we're #3 on that one. OU is #7.

        elo_chess is meaningless the first week of the season. Check back in about 6 weeks.

          ELO_CHESS doesn't use margin of victory, so it is fundamentally inferior to PREDICTOR. Regardless, it's nice to see BYU climb the charts, regardless of the presence of statistical credibility.

            Good to see BYU so high up.

            Where were the Utes on that thing? I got tired of scrolling down.

              Also, am I reading that thing correctly? Is BYU playing the 6th toughest schedule in the country?

                It means after one game we've played the 6th toughest schedule.

                  I don't think that's correct. Look at Navy.

                  And...wouldn't we have played the 3rd toughest schedule?

                              I personally like seeing 3 MWC teams in the top 25. Sagarin is one poll that always held us down in the past.
