Someone explain to me how the Gators are ranked #10 in the BCS poll!

The polls done by people (AP) only have 4 teams ranked above the Gators, yet the computer polls, that factor heavily into the BCS equation, have the Gators ranked 12th!

Here is where the Gators ranked in the six computer polls:

  • Sagarin: 9th
  • Anderson & Hester: 16th
  • Richard Billingsley: 18th
  • Colley Matrix: 14th
  • Massey: 15th
  • Peter Wolfe: 6th

Average computer ranking: 12th

The Gators only loss was by ONE POINT.  Admittedly, they should have won that game against Ole Miss, but come on, someone fix the computers!

It’s not the toughest schedule out there, but it certainly is no walk in the park either.  It will be interesting to see what the BCS ends up ranking their “Strength of Schedule” at.

It’s great playing in the SEC where there are so many caliber football programs!
