I'm not that surprised that a mathematical model set up like this might put us over 100. It all has to do with how you've initially weighted the past and current opponents. If our wins from last year (close) and our losses were against low ranked teams, Sagarin's model is going to keep us very low. Although I don't agree with the result this computation kicked out for UL, it doesn't surprise me. Even Tech's 67 doesn't surprise me... once again... if you go back and look at the prior weighting of opponents and the results.
UL is not going to win in the poll battles. We are going to have to continue to win on the field, and long before we get "poll respect"... we are going to have to demolish low ranked programs and upset some highly ranked programs.
