The computer models like the UW

Sounds like Auburndoog is finding his way back on to the wagon ...

Too bad Moos isn't our AD

I knew that would be the reaction.

Not changing my mind. Sark's job is to beat teams like Stanford and Oregon and win championships.

Just thought it was interesting.

Your original poast said "If these rankings are right, and the Dawgs are really one of the best teams in America who just had the misfortune to lose to other elite teams"

Really? I must have missed where Sark lost to FSU, Alabama and Ohio St......

Sagarin has Oregon, ASU, and Stanford in the top 10. Not saying I agree, but the respect the computers give the PAC-12 is interesting

Apparently the computers have been fucking drinking again. Stanford lost to a shitty Utah team....ASU lost to 8-3 Notre Dame (and should have been defeated by mediocre Wisconsin at home), Oregon lost to Stanford (who lost to the very same shitty Utes) and AZ....who actually got plungered by Sark.

I trust these computers about as far as I can see after a fifth of Potters vodka. There are NO elite teams in the PAC12. Case closed!

I don't believe the PAC-12 to be that tuff honestly.......I believe the standard for Sark is a national title in year 6. QB guru, offensive genius, tremendous recruiter, incredible inroads in Socal, and well compensated with a new stadium.

SRS, which is the best of these advanced metrics (according to DP206 who follows them religiously) has us at 19th.

Win out and we'll be top 15 in every metric which tells us we are a 10-3 team. Throw in CFB Matrix with a -1 coach and thats how you get to 9-4.

Depending on who doesn't leave early, this reasonably speaking should be a 10-2 team heading into Pullman next year. Easy schedule next year. Doesn't matter because Sark will win enough to keep his job. 9 this season, 10-4 next season then back down to 7 in 2015 and he won't be fired after that.

It's interesting, but it's still nonsense. Thank god the computers only comprise 1/3 of the BCS formula

Sagarin Headquarters, tweaking the (proprietary) formula on a weekly basis:

You really think Sark is going 6-3 / 7-2 in the PAC?

No, but they should be.

Even if they lose to UA, UO & UCLA they should still beat WSU, Col, Cal, OSU, ASU & Stan. ASU & Stan lose lots of seniors. Its an easier conference schedule next year.

Sagarin has the UW ranked 11th, and the Dawgs are ranked 8th in the ESPN Power Rankings. The computer models really like the PAC-12 this year. The teams we lost to are also ranked very high.

If these rankings are right, and the Dawgs are really one of the best teams in America who just had the misfortune to lose to other elite teams, then we should crush WSU and win our bowl game comfortably, and the PAC-12 should dominate its bowl games. Interesting...

Uh that computer says we played the 4th toughest schedule in the country and has us like 29th.
