Week 8 - 2010

It's nice being right. While the BCS formula placed Oklahoma as the #1 team last week and Missouri (their opponent on Saturday) as #11, we had Oklahoma #9, with Missouri #4. According to our analysis, Oklahoma just didn't have the resume of game performances to justify a #1 rating while Missouri had actually done a lot more than the BCS system was giving them credit for. Missouri beat Oklahoma - and it wasn't even one of those last-second upset victories. So this week, the BCS puts Missouri at #6 and Oklahoma at #9. Of course, we think they should have been asking us where to place these teams all along. So, how much does Missouri's victory over Oklahoma impact their rankings in our analysis? See below:
