Yeah...  That makes sense.

What really makes no sense to me is that otherwise intelligent people,
year after year after year, look at the poles and compare individual
rankings as if single-game instances of transitivity should matter
more than an entire body of work.
13) Penn State 3-1
17) Iowa 4-0
The Hawkeyes have a better overall record *and* beat PSU by 11 points
at the Happy Beav.
19) Cal 3-1
25) Oregon 3-1
Same record, but the Zeros beat Kal by 39 points -- a snotfucking no
matter how you slice it.

Yep, summerstorm needs to pick a new song.  Sagarin had Iowa
ranked WAAAAAY ahead of PSU before this game, and I don't
expect that's changed.

He probably should pick a new song because it makes too much sense and
is already flying over most heads. This is rsfc afterall.
