that if margin of victory were taken into account for the computer polls, for example sagarin, which has such a version of his poll, we are in first place.

also, people aren’t focusing on the fact that its the computer that put us in 3rd in the BCS, not the people polls. the human BCS polls had us in second, so i don’t know how we can cry disrespect because to this point we have been given it. we’ll see what happens this week.

also, i keep hearing about the “percieved weakness of the big ten” but i don’t think that exists outside of ignorant people and hackjob writers. again, the only place we are slighted is the computers, and if we had happened to beat minny and northwestern instead of michigan and wisconsin we would be higher in the computer polls because of their records

and do you really think those games would have ended any differently?
