<![CDATA[The mystery of Sagarin]]>Something I can’t figure out in Jeff Sagarin’s latest college football rankings: Washington, like Georgia, is 8-4, and is ranked seven slots higher despite (1) a weaker strength of schedule; (2) no more wins against his top ten teams than the Dawgs; and (3) a 1-4 record against his top thirty teams, compared to Georgia’s 3-3 mark.
It’s a big gap, too, big enough that Sagarin has Georgia as a home underdog against Washington if they were to match up. What am I missing here? Is he factoring injuries into the equation somehow?
