Since I've gone out and made that statement, lets compare my rankings to the BCS computer average. The table below lists the two with the difference, red where the BCS is too high and blue where it is too low.

Oklahoma | 1 | 6 | 5 |
Oregon | 8 | 1 | 7 |
Boise State | 7 | 3 | 4 |
Auburn | 3 | 10 | 7 |
TCU | 5 | 2 | 3 |
LSU | 2 | 18 | 16 |
Michigan State | 4 | 7 | 3 |
Alabama | 12 | 15 | 3 |
Utah | 11 | 8 | 3 |
Ohio State | 14 | 14 | 0 |
Missouri | 6 | 5 | 1 |

Kansas State | 19 | 36 | 17 |
Arkansas | 28 | 31 | 3 |
Mississippi State | 21 | 29 | 8 |
Virginia Tech | 28 | 24 | 4 |
What do you think? Which set of rankings is more realistic?
To see if we can determine which is more accurate, I'll keep track of which does better picking winners between BCS top-25 games the rest of the year.
