It's about time when people all over the country start trying to figure out "Who the Best Is" or in college football's case "Who the best two are". Arguments for teams with higher strength of schedules versus teams with better regular season records will invade the blogosphere in due time, if they haven't already. Well here is my unique computer rating system, well not really unique it goes by a formula very similar to college basketball's RPI heavily weighted (50%) towards strength of schedule (opponents win percentage) with regular season record counting 25% and Opponents Opponents Winning Percentage accounting for the other 25%. The emphasis on strength of schedule doesn't bode well for undefeated Hawaii (you don't see them, they're 74th) or USC (54th) as these teams are where they should be at as far as regular season (in USC's case worse). This is if nothing else a unique look at a team's "resume" as we get closer and closer to the controversial selection of BCS participants.
