[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 954731, member: 1555"] Their methodology states that they didn't count OOC, bowls, or conference championships, so as to focus just on Conference team ranking, and to discount some of the outliers for a better average. I think the methodology is sound for what it is attempting to do. That said, GT is penalized by several factors - no doubt the uga game would raise our average just as it raises home ticket sales in years where we play them at BDS. Another factor is that we did play for a conference championship vs FSU during the period sampled, and also had a number of high-profile games against other SEC teams such as Tennessee, none of which were counted. Conversely, leaving out bowl games helped us, since we missed them during the last 3 years of the sample. Our overall ranking of 41 isn't that bad considering all these factors, and if one were picking the top 40 teams for a super conference, we would be on the bubble. I'm hopeful that Key will improve our reputation with more wins. [/QUOTE]
