TCU Wins Close Game But Gains Ground on Auburn

With only 2 games remaining for most teams, there are still 4 undefeated teams and there are still some major discrepancies between my computer rankings and the official rankings. Most notably, it is still 10-0 Oregon checking in at #8 and 8-2 Alabama ranked #3. Clearly strength of schedule had some factor in that as Alabama has played the 7th toughest schedule and Oregon only the 102nd toughest schedule so far.

Georgia put up a good fight against Auburn and I was actually rooting for the Dogs. TCU barely held on to beat San Diego State and many voters demoted them after that but my computer did not apparently think that was such a bad performance. Oregon also just squeaked by Cal (15-13, thanks to a missed 2 point conversion and a missed field goal by Cal late in the game) but the pollsters kept them solidly at the top.

I've always thought the computer program was slightly bias toward the SEC but it's now more evident than ever - the SEC has 4 out of the top 9 teams. Now might be a good time to show the conference ratings:
SEC     122.42
Big 12  118.03
Big 10  114.59
Pac 10  101.55
ACC     99.06
Big East 84.02
WAC    79.29
MWC    77.32
CUSA    65.17
MAC     49.48
Sunbelt   33.46
