After reviewing the computer rankings.....there are some unrealistic rankings

Wisconsin made the computer top-10's in only 2 of 6 services

Okla St was the consensus #1, and was #1 in 4 of the 6

Kansas St made the top-10 in all 6

Texas AM, Auburn and Michigan each had a single top 10

Stanford had a 20th ranking

they must not be that high on nebraska

sigh if only the big ten were better as a whole

Wisconsin has had an easy schedule, but the computer rankings still irk me as they are so all over the place

yes wisconsin has had a pretty light schedule and they really haven't been on the road, but does absolutely cock-slapping every team on a weekly basis count for anything? and this comment is coming from an iowa fan.

The polls (human) are pretty much on track, but for the life of me.....some of these computer rankings are just plain ridiculous. I realize that Wisconsin will move up anyway (I don't really care though), but any mathematical ranking is flawed.

This doesn't really change anything for Wisconsin. Wins @MSU and @OSU ought to move them ahead of Boise St., but they still need one of the OU/OSU and Bama/LSU winners to lose a game. Three or more undefeated and they're on the outside looking in.
