As for passing, he is nothing special. He makes a lot of "superman" decisions that result in INTs and fumbles. The "superman" attitude results in huge numbers, both negative and positive. It works when playing against inferior opponents.

Alot of is based on losses isn't it? Is there a team ranked higher than them with 2 or more losses? Well, Michigan is getting some computer love with 3 losses, so there goes that theory.

Funny. The computers have Miami at around 13-14 and the voters have them at #5. There should never be this much discrepancy. I guess the computers don't factor in a team's history/name when doing these things.

I made that post when he was 5/17 for 55 yards with an INT and fumble against the worst team in the Big 12.

You're gonna have to enlighten me because I don't see what this says. Is it favoring a conference or something? I'm clueless.

yeah, i think the system is favoring the stronger conferences. Obviously, you have the undefeated teams at the top, but look at the teams with 1 and 2 losses. The teams in the SEC and Big 10 are ranked higher than teams in other conferences.
