For the same reason FSU was left out of last year's 4-team - zounami MU - 11/13 20:22:46

That's what happened with the 4-team playoff last year... - zounami MU - 11/13 22:22:23

lets just all agree that this dead horse needs to continue - phrejd KC - 11/13 15:34:18

Beat that mother****er! - ERB KC - 11/13 15:35:01

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

Ummm ... Neither TV Execs nor the Bowl Committee - ERB KC - 11/13 14:43:17

I don't get completely the fans of mid-tier type schools - Genco98 MU - 11/14 09:39:33

Facts(nm) - Wildcat KSU - 11/13 15:39:07

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
