Remember the Sagarin Rankings?

Gamecocks at #10!!!
''The 10th spot makes sense for the Gamecocks. Based on these rankings, USC is tied for 7th in wins over the Sagarin top 30. This comes despite owning one of the toughest strengths of schedule (6th overall). Sagarin also places added emphasis on recent success on the field. Only six teams in the country have a better mark in “strong recent” play than Beamer’s Gamecocks. Three SEC blowouts in a row certainly have helped that cause.''

I actually think this is the kind of matrix they ought to be using for the CFP rankings. Take subjectivity out of it altogether. It would be entertaining watching people argue with a machine.

Should've kept the BCS rankings and just taken the top 12 from it, no automatic bids.
