rankings

But 125? Are you freakin' kiddin' me? _

I know, but these are computer rankings. They simply compare what you have done against your opponents and what your opponents have done against their opponents, then factor in things like conference strength, strength of schedule, etc. Most don't count margin of victory or defeat, so playing tight with Illinois and Kansas State don't do anything in the computers eyes, as they might in a human poll. Also, the fact that our conference has not done very well this year against other conferences is hurting us.

All in all, the BCS computer rankings mean nothing for us. All we need to do is win. Win ugly, win pretty, who gives a rat's a__. Just win.

Could these computers be the same ones the Nat'l Weather Service uses to plot hurricane paths and other weather data?

_ you care that much?? _

If taking 15 seconds to type a post is your definition of "caring so much," it must not take much to get you excited.

Here's why you should care a little: any poll that ranks State so low is crap, and by extension, their ranking of UL is crap.
