SEC not the most powerful...

[g8terh8ter_eric]

The SEC was stated to be weaker than the PAC 10 guys. I am FURIOUS over this, even though Tennessee had the 11 hardest schedule according to the IDIOT..of course the idiot would be a computer.

Rivals.com College Football - Computers say SEC not so tough

He did say though he thought the SEC was the toughest, but his computer said otherwise. Either way computers are ruining College Football.

I agree but didn't he program his computer info? Maybe he has a renegade Hal 2000 computer..:unsure:

No way. Tennessee is ranked too high then if it was based off of ESPN standards.

Maybe next year, Bill Gates can develop a program for us football fans with his VAST knowledge of football too. I have a feeling the ivy league would be ranked the toughest ha ha.

Jeff Sagarin has slightly less sports knowledge than the average cocker spaniel.

Let me rephrase, then. Jeff Sagarin's computer is smarter than all of us.

Computers are only as good as the people operating them. Sagarin is an idiot. Hence, his computers are also clueless.

I've always said the SEC is the best. Always always always. I've only contended that the gap isn't nearly as large as most fanatics think.

Who chooses what information is put into the computers? I believe if you're deciding what is relevant, you're interjecting an opinion.

Human opinions are not included in computer rankings.

But the data loaded into the computers by said individuals could be and usually is biased or misapplied.

Humans are deciding what is relevant, and the 119 teams are providing the data. The humans have no say, as you know, over what their rankings say, besides the parameters they decided years and years ago.

SEC looks like the best from this perspective, and this was added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided by a computer...

How so? And please provide factual evidence.

I thought we were talking about 2006.

And I'll say again, I've always said the SEC is the best.

agreed, but the computer can't see that a game was not as close as the score indicated (3rd and 4th stringers getting some live game practice and let the losing team score late in the 4th) ....so which is worse?
