Skynet Championship Series: Judgment Day 2009

Judgment Day is upon us... and Skynet has demanded a game between the undisputed #1 team in the nation, the Alabama Crimson Tide, and... Big East Champion Cincinnati!

It's years like this that I wish the computers are in charge, because the last thing I want to see is Texas get pummeled by 20 points. For the record, Florida also finished ahead of Texas.

For the record, there are two computer polls (Massey & Billingsley) I don't include in Skynet's ranking. I don't include them due to the fact that they start with the bias of a human literally ranking all the teams in week 1. Both Massey & Billingsley have Texas at #2. Sagarin has Texas at #5, Anderson has Texas at #3, Matrix has Texas at #2, and Wolfe has Texas at #3. In a season like this, the results only further validate Skynet's supremacy... and the biases that humans hold onto and why Massey & Billingsley don't belong in Skynet's ranking.

Most underrated by the humans: Cincy, LSU, Arizona, West Virginia
Most overrated by the humans: Texas, TCU, Ohio State, Penn State
