Check out the New York Times ranking of Georgia Tech #12

Now how do you like that!! It is a computer model. Here is an excerpt from how it is caclulated:

The New York Times's computer football ranking is based on an analysis of each team's record with emphasis on who won and against what quality of opposition. The quality of an opponent is determined by examining the opponent's record against other teams.

The Times's computer model takes note of a home-field advantage. Recent games count more than earlier games.

The top team is assigned a rating of 1.000; the ratings of all other teams are percentages reflecting their strength relative to the top team. This week, for example, there is a very large difference between Oklahoma (No. 1) and Southern Cal (2), while the difference between Ohio State (3) and Virginia Tech (4) is much smaller.

The coup-de-gras........UGA is ranked #17 by their system. I think the NY Times really knows their sports!!!!

To give you an idea of the top ten:

OK, USC, OhSt, VT, Miami, Fl, FSU, LouisSt., Mich, Tenn, Texas.
