Former BCS poll has a couple of two-loss teams in the Top 10 ·

If you weren't a fan of the BCS, then you might be happy that it is gone because of this.

The Sagarin Ratings — created by Jeff Sagarin — were one of the computer rankings that used to be in the BCS rankings. The ratings are still active on USA Today's website, and their results after Week 3 of the 2016 season won't enthuse a lot of people.

The Sagarin Top 10.

1. Ohio State
2. Alabama
3. Stanford
4. Louisville
5. Michigan
6. Texas A&M
7. Oklahoma
8. Washington
9. Clemson
10. Ole Miss

Oklahoma and Ole Miss in the Top 10? That is a lot of faith in strength of schedule over actual results.

Obviously it is still early in the season, and the computer polls will look at lot more appealing as more games get logged into the system. However, that strength of schedule component shouldn't be so large that Houston (No. 11) is four spots below Oklahoma after the Cougars defeated the Sooners a few weeks ago.
