BCS Computer Rankings

The first set of BCS rankings came out today.  According to the computers, which make up 1/3 of the BCS Rankings, the top 25 should be as follows:

1) Florida State
2) Alabama
3) Missouri
4) Oregon
5) Ohio State
6) Stanford
7) Auburn
8) Virginia Tech
9) Clemson
10) Miami (FL)
11) Texas Tech
12) Baylor
13) Northern Illinois
14) UCLA
15) LSU
16) Oklahoma
17) Fresno State
18) Texas A&M
19) UCF
20) Oregon State
21) Michigan
22) South Carolina

The next three teams round out the BCS rankings, but received 0 computer points:

23) Oklahoma State
24) Louisville
25) Nebraska

I love seeing the discrepancies between the humans and the computers.  For the most part, my rankings aren't too far from the computers.  I have Oregon and Missouri swapped, but should probably put the Tigers ahead of the Ducks based on Strength of Schedule.  Two big differences are Auburn and LSU.  The computers like them more than I do, probably because they're weighing wins against Texas A&M a lot more than I am.  The computers also think that I'm too high on Miami, probably because I keep giving them too much credit for their win over Florida.  However, I'm glad that we both think that Oregon State deserves to be in the Top 25.

Meanwhile, the coaches continue to be idiots.  They have Oklahoma at 12 and Oklahoma State at 13, even though Oklahoma is exactly 1-1 against teams with winning records, and Oklahoma State has quality wins over 3-3 Mississippi State, UTSA, and, um, Lamar.  They have Louisville at 16 and UCF at 25, despite UCF having wins over Penn State and Louisville.  That is almost as awesome as 5-2 Texas A&M at #15 and 6-1 Auburn at #17.

The coaches are idiots.
