That doesn't mean they're a better team.

Oregon narrowly beat Ohio State in Eugene.
That doesn't mean they're a better team.

Sports involve chance. The same two teams could play 100 times and go 50-50.

You have to look at the entire data objectively, which is exactly what the computer models do.

     IU is obviously a good story & I don’t - Gary P. MU - 11/13 15:12:00
     According to that, we've played the SEC's weakest schedule - Fourth and Long MU - 11/13 14:51:08
     They have them having a better chance of the CFP than us - MU-TULSA MU - 11/13 14:46:43

          Well said(nm) - tigerman81 MU - 11/13 14:56:31
     The criteria is already set - tigerman81 MU - 11/13 14:37:21
     Sagarin is too heavily weighted on schedule and associated - Eggs MU - 11/13 14:32:21
          Sagarin has one of the better (or best) strength of - alwaysright MU - 11/14 05:34:47
          and Northern-Illinois beat Notre Dame in South Bend... - zounami MU - 11/13 14:35:33
               So why even play the games if results don't matter? - Eggs MU - 11/13 14:38:36
                    Results matter, but you're over-weighting a single game... - zounami MU - 11/13 14:52:23
                         There is no data that would support Ohio St over Oregon - SatoriTiger JC - 11/13 15:11:50
                              Wrong. Even if we just look at that single game... - zounami MU - 11/13 15:28:13
                                   Lol - SatoriTiger JC - 11/13 15:31:55
                         Computers do what they are programmed to do. They can - tigerman81 MU - 11/13 14:55:15
                              but they are consistent, objective, and far less biased than - zounami MU - 11/13 14:57:17
                                   I just told you a computer is just as biased as the person - tigerman81 MU - 11/13 15:04:09
                                        That's definitely false. A programmer/statistician does not - zounami MU - 11/13 15:21:45
                                             Clearly you don't understand how biases work. If - tigerman81 MU - 11/13 19:15:41
                                                  The feeling is mutual... - zounami MU - 11/13 20:09:16
                                                       It doesn't matter what you think. What matters is facts - tigerman81 MU - 11/14 00:48:23
                         Computer models are subject to the bias - meatiger MU - 11/13 14:53:41
                              I'm curious to eventually see AI do ratings and predictions - Eggs MU - 11/13 15:04:53
                                   agreed... that's the future (nm) - zounami MU - 11/13 15:23:03
                              "objective" does not mean there's no statistical bias... - zounami MU - 11/13 14:58:47
                                   Really? And who told the computer how to analyze - tigerman81 MU - 11/13 15:06:05
               Computers do not look at things objectively - meatiger MU - 11/13 14:37:14
                    explain... how are computer models *subjective* ? (nm) - zounami MU - 11/13 14:53:48
                         Because they require user input and weighting - Eggs MU - 11/13 14:59:42
                              but those weightings apply to all teams equally... - zounami MU - 11/13 15:19:07
     Good to know Sagarin is back in your good graces after - Lovely Rita UW - 11/13 14:31:33
          you're confused... - zounami MU - 11/13 14:47:03
          Most sites I am looking at have our schedule ranked 30 - Erwin Fletcher STL - 11/13 14:38:28
          Actual results are not weighted in their ratings enough - Eggs MU - 11/13 14:36:49
               those losses were just bad luck...Zou - meatiger MU - 11/13 14:37:52
