USC was 10 & 4

Btw, Michigan St beat an Ohio St that really don't play any good teams until it played Michigan St. Ohio St went on to lose to Clemson, a team South Carolina beat much more convincingly.

South Carolina did lose to Tennessee and Georgia(who Clemson beat) during the year. However, South Carolina also beat Missouri a top5 team by most peoples rankings, as well as the UCF team that most people have ranking in the top10 and just beat Baylor in a bowl game. UCF's only loss on the year.

I rank South Carolina with a top10 SoS this year, worlds ahead of Michigan St.

You beat a Stanford team who lost 2 games during the year, one of which was to USC and the other to Utah.

So, cry more. I have no interest coddling to teams who play weak schedules, not even my own team.

So how do you rank mizzou so high? They didnt play bama, LSU....and lost to SC and auburn....i think stanford is better than oklahoma st.....sparty also beat nebraska, who beat georgia...but funny you have mizzou ahead of MSU....mizzou beat nobody.....

I guess we have a difference of opinion on who "nobody" is.

Because I see a Missouri that didn't play any bottom of the barrel teams outside Kentucky and Murray St.

Yet they beat:

Vandy(9-4)
Georgia(8-5)
Ole Miss(8-5)
Texas A&M(9-4)
Oklahoma St(10-3)
Arkansas St(8-5)

Then they played South Carolina and Auburn, who are both top5 teams or close to it by most people standards, leaving 8 out of 13 games vs bowl teams.

Overall I rank them as having the 13th toughest schedule.

So beating 5 loss SEC teams are quality wins but 4 or 5 loss Big ten teams are not. And seriously, a 5 loss sunbelt team is a quality win??? Get the hell out of here with that bullshit. You're SEC homerism is showing.

I just listed the teams that went to bowl games this year. Hense why I said 8 of their 13 games were against bowl teams. But really, it should be 14.

And yes, 8-5 SEC teams are generally better than 8-5 Big10 teams. Because of issue is who the losses are too. It's not because "SEC", as my formula doesn't use conferences in any manner, it's just generally tougher teams being played and who those loses come to. Obviously you agree with this philosophy because you mentioned "a 5 loss sunbelt team" as being insignificant, you just don't want to face the reality of the Big10.

Are you equally upset that Alabama is ranked #12? Is that my bias showing as well, or is it a reflection of performance and schedule?

Oh the Big10 sucks ass. I won't argue that but iwouldn't be pimping up a 5 loss MAC team like you are trying to pawn off a 5 loss sunbelt team as some awesome win.

And of Michigan State's 14 games, 7 were against bowl teams. But yeah, you are soon un biased because you have Alabama at 12 but I think you need to figure out a way to squeeze more SEC teams into the rankings. You and Sakau must share a bed because you shovel out the same shit. Let me guess Kentucky would dominate every other conference with a MoV of 80+ points. FSU is lucky that Arkansas wasn't in the ACCorelse they never would have made the title game with a 127 to -14 loss on their record.

You are acting this way because I have Michigan St 6th? And listing bowl teams, while even calling them bowl teams, is somehow me saying it's an awesome win?

And then you go off into lala land.

So posting completely ignorant and ridiculous things is only ok for you? Got it.

Missouri and southcarolina beat no one and they deserve to be top 5 and UCF, really? But Michigan State has better wins than Missouri and USC combined.

I just listed who Missouri beat. South Carolina beat Missouri and then more. Like Clemson who just beat Ohio St, who is among your 2 hardest teams played.

You have a SoS that ranked 72nd, you end up in 6th. SCar has one ranked #10 and Missouri is #13. Alabama is #60 and they end up ranked #12 with 2 losses.

That's how it goes when SoS matters.

UCF might be a bit high. It ranks their schedule @ #61 and 1 loss, which is to South Carolina, much better loss than Notre Dame. I say it may be a bit high because the computer likes Louisville a bit too much IMO, but it is what it is.

I wouldn't dispute that much. But isn't a 9-4 B1G team better than an 8-5 SEC team that they beat head to head?

South Carolina has wins that are better than MSU. Beat Missouri(only regular season loss), UCF(only loss) Clemson(only 2 losses and beat MSU 1st/2nd best win) and Wisconsin in the bowl game. Are you going to try and tell me that MSU has a better resume than that? I'm not going to argue who should be ahead of who, but to post that South Carolina has beaten nobody is really absurd.

All you need to do is look at the Final AP Poll Top 10:

South Carolina: 3 wins against it
Michigan State: 0 wins against it.

I'm happy with a top 10 finish especially after losing to Texas (8-5) and Baylor (11-2). As said before it doesn't really matter unless you are #1. It will next season though. The committee to decide who gets to go to the playoff is going to cause more contraversy than the BCS ever thought about. It's basically a popularity contest with no oversite whatsoever. When they named Condie Rice to the committee I knew it was a farce. No doubt she is a smart women but what are her qualifications for being on this committee? Oh she is a Standford grad. That makes her totally unbiased. The arguments between 4,5, and 6 are going to be epic. A power conference getting two teams in while another gets none are going to blow up in their face! I don't understand why they don't just let each power conference 5 plus one wild card independent or mid-major making a total of 6 team playoff. Each conference is represented by their champion. Don't win your championship well tough shit you don't get in. So simple even a caveman can do it.

It's all about SoS and who you won/lost against. Georgia has more losses, but who they lost to were a bunch of good teams. Missouri, Clemson, Auburn - all top10 teams. And then Nebraska in the bowl game, which was minus Aaron Murray. Vandy loss was their worst, and they were a 9 win team.

Meanwhile they beat South Carolina and LSU. South Carolina being a top10 team and LSU top20.
