      From: james.m.gibson@gmail.com              Apparently, the four computers used to determine the championship game were       Anderson & Hester (the one formerly known as the Seattle Times ranking in the       BCS days), Colley Matrix, Anderson, and Wolfe.              It came up with Boise State at UNLV.              How does that compare to different Dolphin rankings, which I've always       appreciated because of the way he has different-style rankings depending on       what you would want.              Dolphin Standard: Boise State at UNLV       Dolphin Median Likelihood: Boise State at UNLV       (these two are the ones I would expect to act most like that set of 4 rankings)       Dolphin Predictive: San Jose State at Boise State       (this one would act more like FPI or the College Basketball NET rankings)       Dolphin Improved RPI: Boise State at UNLV       Dolphin Pseudopoll: Boise State at UNLV       (the one that will act most like humans)              Most of the ones that factor in W/L heavily and not just scoring margin agree       with the call.              ESPN FPI and Sagarin would have gone with the Dolphin Predictive: SJSU at       Boise State              So, all of them finished 6-2 in conference, but total, SJSU and Boise State       were only 7-5 compared to UNLV's 9-3.              How did they fare non-conference?       UNLV: beat Bryant 44-14, lost to Michigan 35-7, beat Vanderbilt 40-37, beat       UTEP 45-28       Boise State: lost to Washington 56-19, lost to UCF 18-16, beat North Dakota       42-18, lost to Memphis 35-32       San Jose State: lost to USC 56-28, lost to Oregon State 42-17, beat Cal Poly       59-3, lost to Toledo 21-17              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
