One other thing-- as I stated earlier, I actually do think there's something to this.  Watching KSU in 1998 was eye-opening, that was a very good team that just got man-handled in a FAR lesser bowl.

To what extent it factors in, though, is highly debatable.  And that's what I'm debating.

For a team to lose their last game and go from IN to OUT, it's on them.  They have no one else to blame.
There is a plethora of scenarios/variables against a blanket statement like that.Not on whether they lost but going from in to out. As in other teams records/opponents/home & away/schedule strength/injuries/etc.For instance Michigan was rated no 4 when tOSU had played them.What if the Buckeyes had not been beat by Purdue earlier.Then lost to Michigan by a fg or less.Why would an Oklahoma be rated in front of them then?Because they scored a boat load of points,had the Heisman Trophy Winner and lost earlier?A loss is a loss everything being equal.All of this a fun argument but with nothing concretely conclusive

I don't have to deal with the "what ifs" because I don't bother with them.  I'm just going by what actually happened.  Simple.

This was just a fast 'n dirty look-see at what I thought I had observed had merit to it.  I think it does.  As has been said, something deeper than wins and losses would tell us more.
