The top 10 of the Sagarin is below (a little tough to keep columns). The red numbers are the ELO_CHESS which is what the BCS uses. Overall we are still number 1 and we are also number 1 in the "Predictor" column (blue) which is more of the real world assessment. What's weird about the ELO_CHESS is that we are ranked number 9, but Georgia for example is ranked number 4; we are 1-1 against top 10 teams and so is Georgia, we are 3-1 against Top 30 teams and Georgia is only 1-1, AND we have the 14th most difficult schedule, while Georgia's only 40th. Why are we 9 and they are 4? Oklahoma is 0-2, 3-2, and 15th and they are 7th. It's BS.
