[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 255433, member: 195"] OK, it seems you have a fundamental misunderstanding of sports, stats, and conversations about them. 1) None are perfect. Get this, sometimes a worse team beats a better team based on their records against shared opponents. 2) As a result, there's no way to prove wrong a person who thinks they are always right. They can always say that maybe Oregon and Stanford are really bad or whatever. 3) Obviously, since any ranking will have its flaws, they will all be less accurate with less info. Would Washington have the same stats as now if they played FSU's schedule? Would Mich or Ohio State? Probably not. Would they have the same record? That's the debate/conversation. 4) With the addition of more games, differences in pwr5 scheds balances out typically, but other games skew the stats, esp when you have teams that play more fcs or G5 opponents.
