Jimbo Fisher, Florida, frustration, the BCS computer rankings

Eye of the former Soviet Union by a 10-1 record into the University of Florida (ABC) 3:30 pm on Saturday on the human voters in the Associated Press (10), the USA Today Coaches vote (fifth) and the Harris poll Figure test (sixth) to Seminole Jimbo Fisher's team and coaches think it should be respected.

However, when it comes to the ranking of the six computers used by the BCS (combined) and with the coaches poll and the Harris poll, the Seminoles gently that. Former Soviet Union, between 16 and 27, the average ranking of 18th in the ranking of those voting, resulting in a BCS # 10.

In contrast, Gators in the average ranking of six computer investigation is only in the third and fourth among the top three 7 or higher. This makes the UF in the BCS sixth.

The opinion polls Seminole alligator almost on par. Florida Sixth AP poll, in coaches poll fifth and sixth in the Harris poll.

The difference is simple: strength of schedule, as a factor in all six computer polls.

Florida is the only AP Top 10 teams have played two teams from the Football Championship Subdivision and conference opponent only one, Clemson University, the top 25 of the BCS standings this week. Florida this year, a 3-1 record and the Seminoles have played four ranked teams will be UF's third top 10 opponent.

Player in the ACC and will not help, because the BCS Computer Conference in Florida by strength rankings are lagging behind the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, PAC-12 ... and the Big East.

Lost impressive victory in North Carolina ... ACC ZERO meeting "the BCS Computer pollster Kenneth Massey sent by e-mail to the Times-Union when a reporter asked the Seminole survey and computer voting huge difference.

Anderson and Hester, Jeff Anderson, Chris Hurst combined ranking, agreed, and said that the region of the former Soviet Union may still be outside the top five in the BCS beat North Carolina State Oct. 6.

"This is the advent of fairly simple," Anderson said. The former Soviet Union in our top 50, playing a team, a team we ranked outside the top 50, there is a loss of a timetable for the below-average can understand that this is not their wrong in one instance, West Virginia broke their contract to leave the former Soviet Union scraping, until it finds Savannah State] but the focus is the strength of schedule. teams received awards play a tough time in the computer ranking] table. "

Massey (the program is not yet among the top 25 this season, ranking the former Soviet Union) and Anderson and Hester, other computers used in the BCS rankings Sagarin's ratings, Corley matrix, Billingsley's rankings and Wolf rating.

Anderson and his colleagues in the other BCS computer Richard Billingsley agree with the timetable of the former Soviet Union do not have any benefits.

Billingsley said: "This is really not Florida's fault, because they are very high in the preseason, people vote, they have a very good team". "But they have not played a timetable, so that they can prove that our ranking is not the eye diagram test once the program commenced, it is the work of the former Soviet Union, at least on my system.

Fisher and his players frustrating, one-third of the equation, and decided to play in the BCS National Championship Game 1 and No. 2 teams Composite Index survey from six computer. In other words, each Football Bowl Subdivision team goal is to a large extent is a programmer's input and the computer spit out.

Few doubt played a weaker schedule Seminole, Florida, Alabama, Notre Dame, or any other BCS contenders. But, too much weight strength timetable, resulting in the following quirks?

- Clemson, Florida, it defeated 49-37, at the back of the six computer rankings in 5.

- The Seminoles ranked behind ninety-two loss team, coupled with the 7-3 and 7-4 Oklahoma State Southern California ranking in this week's Sagarin.

- Macy's ranking, the Seminoles 27 in the nation, trailing not only the University of Clemson, Oklahoma State and USC, but Arizona, Washington State, Mississippi State University, Northwestern University, and Van der Bildt.

Northwest it? Vanderbilt?

Inexplicable hit the the Fisher's tolerance redline last week's BCS formula, he said, "It stinks."

"They've changed how we select the top teams in the country," Fisher said in a press conference on November 12. "You have to change how it does not work the way the matter for me there is no sense."

Fisher has not yet been fully purchased scheduler parameters strength.

"This is too much, instead you play how you play," he said. And team meetings. How are you going to do? I'm not saying that just to us, I say to other people. "

Billingsley said his sympathy with Fisher.

"I understand the the Jimbo's frustration," he said. "He is right, a team can only play the schedule in front of them is not their fault, it fell way but it is not our job to give the eye diagram test our work is the opposite We must let the team name and the emotional history is a part of the equation. "

A problem, fans like this: Who are these guys the information into the computer's?

Well, one thing, most of them are very smart.

Jeff Sagarin's today, is perhaps the most famous, and was ranked the United States since 1985. He has a degree of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Wesley Corley has two degrees from Princeton University and from one of the Virginia. Kenneth Massey has Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Virginia and Peter Wolf, a doctor specializing in infectious diseases. Anderson and Hester have degrees from Washington.

The BCS uses only computer experts background does not fully correspond mold Billingsley, professional, strange, stress management.

Fisher coaches might be inclined to ask him. Coach of the former Soviet Union apparently has resigned its own facts, the Seminoles will not be in the BCS conversation, even if it is a victory over Florida and the Reserve for the USC-Notre Dame combined.

Fisher refused to discuss this issue at a news conference Monday, and made it clear that he would not be in the rest of the week.

"I do not even intend to answer this question," Fisher said.

His players, his lead.

"Nobody knows it, so we do not worry about things we can not control, said:" Kicker Dustin Hopkins University. "We have our goals, and then in front of us: beat Florida to win the ACC, go to the Orange Bowl to win that."

"You hear the players on the team will sometimes talk about it ... wide receiver Rodney Smith said:" We think the lack of respect for us. "But we can not let her husband know that we have to go out to play football, because we can not control their own computers to Florida."

The good news for fans who think, BCS only about before the start of the four-team playoffs, in the year of 2014.

Solve the problem, he was last week, Fisher is not optimistic.

"I think our destruction [sports]," Fisher said. "I tell you what, in the playoffs, we have [2014]?, It will not solve this problem. Problem to be solved is the playoffs? You still get the same factors has been to enter the game, we want to ruin it. "
