I could use F+, ESPN FPI, Sagarin, whatever system you want that ranks teams based on their performance it would give you a very similar ranking. Those "bad" SEC teams are night and day better than the mid level - bad Big Ten teams that MSU has beaten.

Tell me why.

I guess what i have an issue with is this. Where did UF get this ranking from. They have wins over eastern Mich. Kentucky in triple OT, and Tennessee by 1. Why is Tennessee getting respect in these polls? I mean Indiana may well beat UF this year (they already beat Mizzou who clocked UF). Tennesee has wins over Chattanooga, Utah St. and Arky St., yet they count as a top 35 win?

I think Alabama beats MSU on a neutral field, but when I look at their resumes, just because UF and Tennesee have historically been good doesn't mean they are better than dog crap this year

Maybe I need to take a crash course in how Sagarin etc work, because there is no poll in the country that should have OU ahead of Kansas State right now, by any measure or poll

They aren't human polls, they are advanced stats much like SABR in baseball that rank teams on offense, defense, special teams, etc based on performance. There are 4-5 that are all independent of eachother and all come up with the same results.
