Why Hawaii Doesn't Deserve Sympathy for Its Easy Schedule

  • #1 Ohio St. and #2 Boston College are in essentially a dead heat, with #3 Arizona St. just .002 behind and #4 Kansas just .006 behind
  • 1-loss (#5) Oregon and (#6) LSU are on their own level, fifty points behind the top-4 and more than thirty points ahead of #7 West Virginia
  • #28 Texas (no wins versus the current top-50) and #33 Hawaii (no wins versus the current top-80) are the most overrated teams in the subjective polls

Unaltered Rankings: These rankings have benefited from some minor improvements from year-to-year, but their basic formula has remained unaltered throughout the duration of their involvement with the BCS.
 
The Anderson & Hester Rankings are distinct in four ways: 

1. These rankings do not reward teams for running up scores.  Teams are rewarded for beating quality opponents, which is the object of the game.  Margin of victory, which is not the object of the game, is not considered. 

2. Unlike the A.P. and coaches' polls, these rankings do not prejudge teams.  These rankings first appear after the season's fifth week, and each team's ranking reflects its actual accomplishments on the field, not its perceived potential. 

3. These rankings compute the most accurate strength of schedule ratings.  Each team's opponents and opponents' opponents are judged not only by their won-lost records but also, uniquely, by their conferences' strength (see #4). 

4. These rankings provide the most accurate conference ratings.  Each conference is rated according to its non-conference won-lost record and the difficulty of its non-conference schedule.
