Here is a legit computer (and then I will see where it has AU so I don't bias my opinion first 
)
) quote:
A&H pride themselves in not only in the fact that their rankings are unaltered, but that their system has been applicable to the BCS throughout the transformations the ranking system has gone through during its now-12-year existence.
A&H start each season with a blank slate, and do not release rankings until after the fifth week of the season. This allows for the measurement of what the editors claim is a reflection of a schools’ “actual accomplishments on the field, not its perceived potential.”
As far as strength of schedule, A&H takes into account both a given team’s opponents and the team’s opponents’ opponents, attempting to level the playing field if a team is the beneficiary of beating easy teams that in turn beat easy teams. Also this allows A&H to reward teams for beating good teams that are themselves beating good teams.
A&H also weighs strength of schedule according to conference strength, which is also measured by the conference’s opponents and opponents’ opponents.
Finally, A&H takes home and away results into account when calculating strength of schedule.

We don't have a Teddy Bridgewater for ESPN to suck up to. I'm just happy to be where we are right now, and to have ended any ridiculous talk about Louisville in the MNC-game.
F that, I want UCF in a BCS bowl
Plus you got a guy named STORM JOHNSON. Can't ESPN do something with that?

When was the last time neither UTk, UGa or UF were in the Top 25?

That in itself is a pretty amazing accomplishment.

Anderson and Hester
•Alabama, Florida St., and Oregon hold the top 3 spots and are separated by only .010
•None of the current top-10 teams have yet played each other
•Each of the top 5 conferences has a team in the top-10, with multiple teams from the SEC, Pac-12, ACC, and Big 12
•South Carolina's dramatic double-overtime win at Missouri vaults the Gamecocks—the top-ranked 2-loss team—from #24 to #12
The Anderson & Hester Rankings are distinct in four ways:
1. Unlike the polls, these rankings do not reward teams for running up scores. Teams are rewarded for beating quality opponents, which is the object of the game. Posting large margins of victory, which is not the object of the game, is not considered.
2. Unlike the polls, these rankings do not prejudge teams. These rankings first appear after the season's fifth week, and each team's ranking reflects its actual accomplishments — on the field, to date — not its perceived potential.
3. These rankings compute the most accurate strength of schedule ratings. Each team's opponents and opponents' opponents are judged not only by their won-lost records but also, uniquely, by their conferences' strength (see #4).
4. These rankings provide the most accurate conference ratings. Each conference is rated according to its non-conference won-lost record and the difficulty of its non-conference schedule.

Think it is pretty obvious Anderson and Hester (A&H) is the gold standard here.

That is the Billingsley bullshite that heavily factors in preseason rankings.

Alabama, Stanford and Oklahoma are the only teams in the Top 10 of AH rankings that have beaten 2 top 25 teams.
Their 35th ranked SOS is the 5th best of the top 10 teams as well.

If we win the AAC, we'll be in one. The AAC has an atuo-bid for this year, then it goes away next year.

Yeah, really LMAO at all the Aubbie posters in here! You guys really nailed it!

UCF won't get an auto bid if Fresno State or Northern Illinois finish ranked ahead of them and in the top 16.
So that's the really problem with UCF getting jobbed here. It actually does come down to the placement of the teams.

Don't know if it's the same Billingsley, but those would be 1992, 1979, 1965, 1961, and 1926. Nothing bogus about those. Tasty bait, though.

I thought that, but I don't buy it. We should be a top 10 team then. The computers have us as the 7th best team in the nation. Both polls have us as the 11th. How the hell are we not in the top 10?
Posted on 10/27/13 at 8:24 pm to MrAUTigers
Human polls are 2/3 of the score and yall aren't in the top 10 in either of those. You're only .0039 out of it. That'll change very soon.
