I think something like that would bring about a change to college football quicker than the way they are going about it right now.

Conference rankings are at http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf...13/conference/.

SEC West is #1 followed by Pac-12 North and Pac-12 South. SEC East is #4

Best quote:

Sagarin accepts that some fans won't be able to fathom that his current ratings would mean North Dakota State would be favored by roughly 2½ points against Oklahoma and 4½ points against Texas on a neutral field.

But he doesn't exactly understand why they take that view.

"People enjoy basketball, but it's kind of a religion to them in football," Sagarin says. "Everyone loves the Butler-Duke game (the 2010 NCAA final that Duke won by two points). People treasure that.

"(But in football) they don't seem to accept that (possibility) intellectually."

Inconceivable!

I have a brother who is a big Nebraska fan who is in this category. He tried to make excuses when NDSU beat K St. and although he came to realize NDSU really did beat them in Manhattan, he still can't accept that they would take Big Red to the woodshed.

Great article! Only thing that would've made this better is if one of the top 10 games was an FCS game to further illustrate his point. Montana vs. Montana State would be a great example

Very nice. You beat my son sending this to me by only a few minutes! He played for your dad, must be that connection :)

Boosting the Bisons' Sagarin rating is a season-opening, three-point win on the road against an FBS team, Kansas State.

Shouldn't a professional writer know that the possessive plural of "Bison" is "Bison's"?
