Someone needs to develop one really good algorighm and expose the factors, so there's no surprises. Last time, they just averaged all the computer polls, which is stupid.

Really? Have you seen BYU’s computer rankings? We’d be even worse if it was just computers

Do you think Sagarin includes that cause he’s found over decades of data that it makes the rankings less predictive?

The problem with computers and/or known algorithms is that it creates incentive to game the system
