Those numbers are badly flawed because they don't take into account margin of victory.

When you do, Fresno State looks MUCH better. Sagarin predictor has them 14th.

Sagarin is on crack.

His predictor has Purdue at 30th, Bama at 35th. Michigan State 17th! LOL.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that you point to computers to overrate Fresno, but discredit them when they don't agree with your own, subjective rankings?

Would anyone in their right mind bet on Purdue against Bama without any points?

I'd certainly argue it's a lot closer than people think. Maybe I'm crazy, but I would consider taking Purdue with no points if they were at home.

It's not like Alabama has been great. They're a mirage. They had trouble with a few bad teams and won close games for a while, then lost to the two good teams they played, one of them at home.
