Can someone explain to me, maybe i am just dumb, how the hell MIAMI is ahead of Oklahoma???

Glaken · Oct 18, 2004

Taking nothing away from Oklahoma, I think some the "mystique" of the Florida teams may have played a part in this.

The Mid-West and some Western teams don't get the respect they deserve.

Miami has higher computer rankings than Oklahoma. Computer rankings rank 25 teams and you get the opposite # of your ranking for points #1 = 25 pts, #2= 24 pts, etc.

You may think it's silly to rank teams by computers but their rankings are usually pretty damn good. The more the season goes on the more accurate they will be. If both Miami and Oklahoma win out then Oklahoma will eventually pass them in computer rankings too.
