I thought OAM would enjoy that 5 spot in the rankings.  The "good news" is it doesn't matter at all, and they are fairly likely to lose their bowl game. (Baylor in the Sugar.)

Who did you think it would be? Their body of work is still really good.

And you wonder why some of us... never mind.


It's also cute they left UVA ranked at 24, down from 23, after losing by a million points last night.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I'd have put Baylor at #5. Took #4 to OT (read: didn't get their ass kicked).

We voted 6-6-2....we'd make for a difficult committee.

UVA did not lose my "a million points".  Staying within a million of Clemson is a good night's work in the ACC.

Teams listed alphabetically.  Since they had already played and the outcome was the same in Indy, I'm fine with you ignoring the B10 CG.  I don't think it needs to come into play here.  If you think it does, then by all means include it in your decision.

Minnesota - 10-2
2 losses:  @ 9-3 Iowa by 4, vs 10-2 UW by 21
+ wins:  vs PSU
West Division Co-Champion (lost tiebreaker h2h)
.
Penn State- 10-2
2 losses:  @ 10-2 Minn by 4, @ 12-0 OSU by 11
+ wins:  @ Iowa, vs UM, vs IU
Second place team in East Division
.
Wisconsin - 10-2 (for all intents and purposes)
2 losses:  @ 6-6 ILL by 1, @ 12-0 OSU by 31
+ wins:  vs UM, vs Iowa, @ Minn
West Division Co-Champion (won tiebreaker h2h)
Why do you list the point difference in losses but not in wins?  It does not seem to be a fair analysis to me.  Wiscy blew out both Michigan and Minny.  That should be taken into account.

Point differential among common opponents (Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio St- only regular season, Purdue, Michigan St, Iowa)for PSU and UW.

UW- +72

PSU- +45
