Even if humans undervalue losses like the one yesterday, once the computers get involved in a couple weeks, they'll take it much more seriously, and that has an equalizing effect. |
Yup definitely. Alabama will be hurting. And Oregon will eventually be #1 as the Pac-10 seems really strong this year.
