We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
So, in newest Sagarin, MWC did pretty darn well edging nearly every G5 conference other than MWC. Since Tatanka is not around, LOL Big Fluffy. (Beaten by many G5 and Souther, Southland, Big South, and CAA....ouch)

They aren't. When we post the conference lists in this thread, we have to do the recalculations ourselves.
edit: too slow
Also, I'm going to wait until tomorrow to see if Sagarin does one more update before the title games. I'm a bit surprised that he did one after last night when there are four games to be played today.
TCU is now #1 in the Sagarin ratings. -- I guess we need an 8-team playoff.
It's OK to not be OK.

TCU 99.27
Ohio State 98.56
Oregon 98.13
They're all basically within one ranking point of each other. Sagarin's line on the championship is 1/2 a point so any result should improve the winners ranking, it's just a matter of how much and what the interactions are. Non-conference results can shift teams that aren't playing a fair bit, Ill. St. increased more than a point and NDSU nearly a point on the games between x-mas and new years.

So if OSU beats OR say 45-35 would that bump them over TCU?
