People are dumb

NCAA polls
  1. The voters believe that USC is the best team.
  2. Oregon has only lost one game: to USC. Which the voters think is the best team (see No. 1, above).
  3. Oregon is ranked behind two other teams with TWO losses.

Why isn't Oregon ranked higher? What more do they want from Oregon?

And could someone explain to me way the computer polls -- which are almost surely more internally consistent than any voter's ballot is -- are somehow LESS credible than the Harris, AP and USA Today polls?

  • Okay, Kornheiser. Would it have killed Oregon to play a few impressive games?

    You know, ones that didn't come against Montana.

    And I don't count barely being Houston and Washington State as impressive.

    Also, those uniforms are hideous. That probably knocks them down a peg or two.
