USA Today - Computer Rankings Saints #9
 
Do you think the latest computer ranking from USA Today NFL Sagarin Ratings are more accurate than other rankings?

Stop this. The site's collective IQ dropped 5 points the moment "power ranking" was typed in.

It's an interesting way to rank teams. Takes some of the human bias out of it. Cowboys have one of the better records in the league but the poll ranks them as average.

3 road loses by a combined total of 6 and we are < 20 on people's charts? I don't think so.


I don't care, but I don't think so:)

how could this poll be accurate when Arizona (7-1) ranked 6th, below teams with at the most 3 losses? If you don't go by wins and lost then the saints should be above Green Bay

IDK, looks kinda' like your divisional standings meet strength of schedule, or something like that ... this is the kind of stuff what happens when you start letting the nerds hang around the locker room, :lol:.

Play all the games on Madden, eliminate any future injury lawsuits/liabilities, maximize profit, determine outcomes and be done with it, Roger. :neutral:

Just as long as the computer allows us to play in the BCS title game, I'll be fine.

Amazingly this ranking is far superior to the College Football Playoff poll which reads more like a group of people sitting around pulling names from a hat as opposed to using actual stats etc.

Don't forget the backup plan should pulling names from a hat somehow end in a statistical tie ...

As the College Football Playoff Selection Committee turns, Episode III:

The sport's new serialized soap opera continues to provide interesting Tuesday television that continues to be rife with lapses in logic. In soaps, stars come back to life or have amnesia or split personalities – all sorts of fanciful plot twists. The playoff selection committee now seems to be performing its own jaunt through the absurd on a weekly basis.

In this episode, the committee falls stone-cold in love with the Pac-12.

In one particularly steamy scene, the committee jumped one-loss Oregon ahead of undefeated Florida State for second – and while it might not matter at this moment who is second and who is third, a loss by No. 1 Mississippi State could alter the geography of the entire playoff if it elevates the Ducks to the top seed. (Hello, Rose Bowl as the potential site of the No. 1 seed's semifinal game, instead of the Sugar Bowl.)

"They're very, very close," selection committee chairman Jeff Long said Tuesday night. "It's very thin. … Razor-thin."

The ranking doesn't make us look as bad as we've played. I'm happy with it.:wink:
