I averaged together the six BCS computers -- Anderson & Hester, Billingsley, Colley Matrix, Massey, Sagarin, and Wolfe. Here's what I came up with.

TOP TEN
1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Clemson
4. Georgia

Same top 4 as everybody else. OSU had 5/6 #1 votes. LSU had 4/6 #2 votes.

5. Oklahoma
6. Penn State
7. Wisconsin
8. Utah
9. Notre Dame & Baylor

Memphis was tied for 11th with Florida. Michigan was 13th. Auburn was 14th. Alabama was 15th.

Hate to rain on your parade, but future reference someone does this for you. Admire the dedication.

I'm glad we don't use the computers any more. Penn State at 6 is stupid. They got dominated by Ohio State and Minnesota, got completely outplayed in the second half by Michigan, struggled against Indiana, and should have lost to Pitt. They're not a good football team, probably top 25 but that's about it. Meanwhile, Utah has mauled everyone.

Some major problems here.

Penn State has 5 wins against above .500 opponents. That's more than Utah, Oklahoma, and Baylor.

Penn State's SOS is pretty high.

Penn State beat Iowa and Michigan. Utah and Baylor have no marquee wins. Oklahoma has just Baylor.

Utah dominated over average competition. Their best opponent was USC, where they lost.

PSU being ranked 6th makes no sense, if you live in a world where a Pac-12 teams and a Big-10 team are playing the same level of competition.

Utah mauled no ranked teams while Penn State beat two such teams, Furthermore, they were not mauled by Ohio State and Minnesota. They were within a one score of Ohio State in the fourth quarter and if not for a questionable OPI call late against Minnesota, would have had first and goal with a chance to win.

B1G homers are funny.
Makes things around here so much more fun, doesn't it? :D

rmilia should be along any moment to ask one of his rhetorical questions. "Hey guys, do you think Penn State is being untreated unfairly and should actually supplant Georgia at #4?"

This is impossible. Ohio State has not played any team of note.

They have beaten 3 teams with 10 wins.

The 3 terrible non-conference cupcakes they scheduled are all in their respective conference championship games, but that is just a mirage.

Juicy and HD back together. All we need is @Bamabino to create the trinity of Ohio State butthurt. Would be glorious

Not a homer but you are free to point out what I said is wrong compare to other poster's pov.
Translation: “B1G homer present and accounted for.”

Nope. I would say the same if roles were reversed. I'm not even arguing that Penn State should be ranked higher than Utah.

What kind of brain parasite is necessary to correlate a team who has NEVER lost to Ohio State, Florida, with the concept of "butthurt?"

"Butthurt" does not mean pointing and laughing.
