Sad.
I suppose the loser of the title game could claim to be number one by that reasoning.
There was a THREE way tie, not two. Head-to-head-to-head was taken into account.
It accounted for 10 points. A 3way gets a little more complicated. Our fallback is point spreads in Head to Head and common opponents not even close.
Why does OU outscore everyone? Because we have to.
In a three way tie head to head means little. In a two way tie it would mean everything.
