[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 376575, member: 2426"] In other words, no technical description of how it is done. If OSU was actually number 4 based on the algorithm and Alabama was number 7 based on the algorithm, there is no way to know that ESPN didn't just show the wrong number. You only gave ESPN's description of SoR, not anything that a statistician could look at to see if it makes any sense. Even if it did make some statistically sense, there is no guarantee that any average top 25 team would have done against any schedule. How does it factor in injuries or weather or turf-vs-grass or any of a long list of factors? As far as I am concerned it is an arbitrary formula using arbitrary variables with arbitrary factors to those variables. If the result doesn't fit ESPN's narrative, they can just change the factors since nobody actually knows what the variables or the factors are. [/QUOTE]
