What I find odd is on both lists, UK has beaten at least 3 schools in the Top 40 but is still below 2 of them on the lists. I do also believe UK is better than several above them

Many B1G schools may be over rated, along with these P5's
#8 4-1 Michigan : lost to what looks like an over rated Notre Dame then beat
..... 3-2 W Michigan, 3-2 SMU, 0-4 Nebraska, and 1-3 Northwestern : lol :
#9 3-1 Wisconsin : supposed to win the west but already lost @ home to BYU
..... 1-4 Western KY, 2-2 New Mexico, and 3-1 Iowa
#14 4-1 Miami : got destroyed by LSU then beat this group of pillow fighters
..... 0-4 Savanah State, 2-2 Toledo, 3-2 FIU, and 1-3 UNC
#15 3-1 Iowa : lost to Wisconsin at home then played these 3 at home for the wins
..... 2-3 N Illinois, 1-3 Iowa State, and 2-2 Northern Iowa (FCS)
#24 3-1 Michigan State : Lost to 3-2 Arizona State
..... 3-1 Utah State, 4-1 Indiana, and 1-4 C Michigan
#16 4-1 Oklahoma State : was destroyed by Texas Tech 17-41
..... 3-1 Missouri St, 1-4 S Alabama, 3-1 Boise State, and 2-3 Kansas


Other 1 loss teams (non SEC) ahead of UK
Penn State - almost lost at home to App State, lost to Ohio State
Washington - lost to Auburn, all others have at least 2 losses
Stanford - only loss was to Irish
Texas - lost badly to Maryland but has Oklahoma this weekend
Boise State - lost to OK State, hasn't really played anybody


I just fail to see any other teams on this list that have already played (and beaten) 3 other teams in the Top 40 so far. Lots of disrespect.

Especially when you look at how Sagarin ranks the conferences (first 12 listed)
1 SEC-WEST = 82.61
2 BIG TEN-EAST = 81.10
3 BIG 12 = 78.73
4 SEC-EAST = 78.29
5 PAC-12(NORTH) = 77.87
6 ACC-ATLANTIC = 76.49
7 PAC-12(SOUTH) = 75.25
8 ACC-COASTAL = 74.44
9 BIG TEN-WEST = 73.58
10 AAC EAST = 68.47
11 AAC WEST = 66.62
12 MWC-MOUNTAIN = 65.37

I think Sagarin says 6 or seven weeks to be fully correlated but I agree at 5 weeks you should not be lower than teams with losses and weaker schedules.

Sagarin after week 6

1 Alabama = 102.35 @ 6-0 || 3-0 vs SEC and destroyed Louisville
2 Ohio State = 97.34 @ 6-0 || Undefeated but easy schedule outside Penn State
3 Clemson = 95.38 @ 6-0 || TAMU may be best win, SU next, not much else
4 Penn State = 93.32 @ 4-1 || 1 pt loss to OSU, OT win @ home vs App State
5 Georgia = 92.80 @ 6-0 || 4-0 vs SEC
6 Oklahoma = 90.65 @ 5-1 || Lost close game to Texas, no big wins yet
7 Michigan = 89.63 @ 5-1
8 Washington = 89.07 @ 5-1

10 Wisconsin = 86.74 @ 4-1

14 Louisiana State = 84.98 @ 5-1
15 Mississippi State = 84.71 @ 4-2 || UK beat State at UK
16 Texas = 84.24 @ 5-1 || Maryland loss alone should put them below UK
17 Texas A&M = 83.52 @ 4-2 || OT loss at TAMU should not put them ahead of UK
