CanuckInUSA 0 #1 October 27, 2006 I seemed to have lost a lot of my interest in pro football, but am very much into what's going on in NCAA Division 1A Football. In the past, I've been to a number of Big Ten games out of Folsom Field in Boulder CO and would love to attend a game in an SEC or ACC stadium one day. I guess you could say I like the pagentry, the big bands, the cheerleaders and youthful exhuberance of the "drunken" student body at an NCAA Division 1A Football game. But I have a question about the Rankings ... I know a team's record and strength/weakness of the respective team schedules has some bearing on how the teams are ranked, but does the score of a game get factored into the rankings. Let's say Team "A" ranks ahead of Team "B" but Team "B" beats Team "A" when they play against each other. If Team "B" wins big, does this help their rankings or is the score irrelevant? I'm not sure who I want to see in the big game this year (since the team I like to cheer for, the CU Buffs is having a brutal year), but all I can hope for is that the two teams in the National Championship game are worthy of their #1 and #2 status when they play.

groundrush134 0 #3 October 27, 2006 The NCAA needs a playoff system so bad it makes it hard for me to even WANT to keep up with college ball ~~~> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #4 October 27, 2006 First, Colorado is in the Big Twelve, not the Big Ten. To answer your question, margin of victory has been taken out of the BCS computer rankings, but since the Coaches' poll and the Harris poll are both based on human input, it's pretty much impossible to remove the variable.

Early in the season, I would have fallen out of my chair laughing at you (I'm an LSU fan). But, LSU has shown a tendancy to shoot themselves in the foot in big games, and Arkansas has definitely done well in big games.
