Skynet Championship Series – Week 2

Back to 4 computer rankings! Anderson & Hester finally is back to updating their website, so I am back to using 4 different computers, none of which use any human bias. I also have included Anderson & Hester’s strength of schedule this week, because I liked what they said on their website about the strength of schedule…
“3. These rankings compute the most accurate strength of schedule ratings. Each team's opponents and opponents' opponents are judged not only by their won-lost records but also, uniquely, by their conferences' strength (see #4).
4. These rankings provide the most accurate conference ratings. Each conference is rated according to its non-conference won-lost record and the difficulty of its non-conference schedule.”
Also, another note, Michigan has creeped up to #17 in this week’s rankings, but it’s very misleading. I’m only looking at whoever the top 20 is in the actual BCS. As a result, Michigan’s computer profile is still much better than USC, Hawaii, and Texas, whom the human voters are all in love with.
