We're up to #18 in the BCS PC BS. I wonder if we're going to get excluded from the calculation or how that'll work.

What the hell is the BCS PC BS? I think 58 for Nebraska is generous. When did you ever think we'd be ahead of the Canes.

Go to the 'ELO-Chess' column of the Sagarin Ratings. This is the column that is officially used by the BCS.

Bowl Championship Series Politically Correct B... you can figure the rest out.

The BCS doesn't allow the computers to use margin of victory in their calculations. It kind of defeats the purpose of asking the modelers to devise a way to figure out who the best team in the country is then then tell them that they can't use the single most powerful statistic available in making their determination. Thus my rant against the BCS PC BS. Also the closest I'm ever likely to get to txt msg typing. I'm all thumbs when it comes to that. LOL
