His strength of schedule and his predictor ratings (MU and aTm are above us in those) factor heavily these rankings.  We're above both of them in the ranking that matters, the Elo Chess, however.  We're number 7 in that ranking, and that's what the BCS uses.  The rankings you listed above basically say that A&M are damn good teams that played a tough schedule and crap the bed when in counted.

Sagarin loves the Big 12 this year. All 10 schools are ranked in the top 13 of SOS due to playing each other.
