It’s possible he doesn’t factor in head-to-head, as it would be sort of hard to manage 119 teams once you include the specifics of twot eachs regarding each other. But ND definitely played a tougher schedule tahn Miami in 1989, and when you lost shouldn’t matter, so ND should come out on top. I happen to think head-to-ghead should matter, but they at least should have won ONE title.

He forgot the Vulcan Death Grip variable. I think it gets subtracted from the “side of field – shady or sunny” variable, which, he also clearly forgot.

Sed, if you’re gonna do this, at least get serious about it. Where the hell is your “hotter coeds multiplier?”

What Would Spock Do?

Your magic eightball, my Furbie.

It’s a bitch getting a Furbie to say Notre Dame without sounding like Lee Corso.

I am currently hard at work developing the BCS’s newest computer poll, now if only I could find my magic 8 ball…
