Ducks Ranked 12th In Final Computer Rankings

January 8th, 2008

Bertram emailed us with this information and analysis:

Ducks are 12th in final overall computer rankings, as shown at:

http://masseyratings.com/cf/compare.htm

This is an average of 71 computer rankings, which is, in my opinion, the very best way to use computers. Each formula has a different emphasis, and one can quibble with each. But the average of all of them best captures the entire amount of information. (And apparently the computers are smarter than coaches and journalists in seeing Oregon’s impressive performance across the entire year…)

Thanks, Bertram.

    Thanks, that’s nice! Am I not reading it correctly? I see 81 rankings used and the Ducks at #11.

    Greenblood -

    Looks like you’re correct. It’s 81, not 71. Either way, it’s alot.

    Thanks.

    They are constantly updating there as new computer rankings show up on the web — one other laudible aspect of that site.

    One major flaw is that some of these computer rankings have obviously not been updated to reflect the bowl games.
