Please explain how they are "incorrect"? Which of those B1G teams should be ranked higher than they are? And to WIM's point, those rankings are not far from other computer rankings. Is it a collusion of 1's and 0's against the B1G?
It's a collusion of 1s and 0s against reality. Maybe those numbers are valid if you're trying to persuade a blind man (or gal), but those who have eyeballs and follow college football find the Sagarin rankings not only absurd, but also insulting to the human race.
Alabama is clearly the best team in the country. Are they #1 in the Sagarin rankings? Wisconsin is clearly #2 in the Big Ten. Do the computers reflect his? MSU easily beats Ohio State 7 out of 10 times, yet they were ranked lower than OSU prior to the championship game. Like I said, ridiculous to the point of being offensive.
