Message: [QUOTE="Zack80, post: 4196296, member: 1245"] It is a power ranking, so OSU beating UNC by 12 is pretty powerful. It also adds in something for home or away and the UNC result was away. Further losing to Cornell by 3 at Cornell was not a particularly bad result for OSU. OSU beat the weak teams on its schedule #60 Detroit Mercy by 11 and #48 Cleveland State by 9, so those results don't hurt OSU significantly. So in the end, I think it is the big win over UNC which probably gets OSU in front of Cornell. It is still pretty early, so the mathematical rankings probably have a pretty large variance. Also, a weak schedule doesn't necessarily hurt you, as long as you beat the weak teams by a large margin - like Michigan has. [/QUOTE]
