Skynet Championship Series: Week 5

Say it isn't so!

Well, I have already learned a great deal about the computers this season... Sagarin and Wolfe have Kansas ahead of Oregon by healthy margins, while Anderson has the two teams in a deadlock heat. Only the Matrix rating puts enough weight on Kansas' horrible schedule to put them behind Oregon.

Just to be clear, the Skynet Championship Series is combining the four computer rankings that don't include human bias, and includes the same exact formula every week since the middle of the 2006 season. The only thing that has been changing, is the random strength of scheduling ranking and/or conference rankings I have included as a bonus to the readers.

Most underrated by the humans: Virginia, Arizona State
Most overrated by the humans: Oklahoma, Texas, Hawaii
