Saw this on ESPN. Thought it would make for some interesting conversation. "Looking at some of the computers that use scoring margin and were formerly a part of the BCS, you can see how the decision to remove margin of victory has helped TCU and Ohio State & and how it has hurt LSU." http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?page=/bcsroad/1109 Computer rankings with and without margin of victory Team Projected BCS computers (no scoring margin) Former BCS computers (using scoring margin) LSU 6.8 2.7 Ohio State 2.3 7.0 TCU 4.8 30.7
Yeah, it's too bad they didn't put USC up there for comparison also. I really believe the margin of victory should play some factor in the rankings. Teams don't always have control over what kind of schedule they play, so their should be some way of comparing what the team does against the teams it's "supposed to beat"
