Thought this was interesting.

The Colley Rankings, which are produced by Wesley N. Colley as “bias free” college football analysis, were an official computer ranking of the Bowl Championship Series from 2001-13, according to the website.

Something to think about. Texas A&M ranked at number two.

Yeah, it is interesting. There are a few other words you could use to describe it, as well.

Hey guys, Wake Forest is 4-0 too...

With incredible wins such as 7-3 over Tulane, 38-21 over Delaware and 33-28 over Indiana.

Their other win being 24-14 over Duke who I will not **** talk because I have too much respect for Coach Cut.

I'd be skeptical of any computer ranking system that currently has Wake Forest ahead of Alabama. Sagarin, Massey, and Billingsley are much more reputable IMO.

Any ranking that doesnt start out like this: 1. Alabama 2. Louisville 3. Ohio State. Should not logically be taken seriously.

Welcome to 2000-2012 for what picked the national championship game.

The Collie Matrix, of course it makes sense.

We weren't in the top 10 in Sagarin, and it made me curious since he's been pretty accurate in the past.

We're 12th on his list, but Georgia is 53rd.

According to Sagarin, we're favored by 10.5.
