Down 3, 452.36, SOS: 3 - Sure this team has 5 losses. So why are they ranked here? 1) That SOS is amazing. Only Purdue and Stanford have played more difficult. 2) Losses to good teams don't hurt a lot while a couple of early season wins on the bad part of the schedule (Arizona and San Jose St) are aging pretty nicely. 3) This system likes teams that have played more games. Points tend to go up over time. With no game next week, Notre Dame and UCLA will almost certainly pass USC along with others. In other words the only FBS team on a bye week next week is benefitting for now from the noise in the system. |
