Is this FOOTBALL? What's the formula for determining the rankings? Does it go...

Strength of schedule+Wins-Wins+What you had for breakfast on August 4th=Whatever the hell I want?

Re: Sagarin ratings 12-7-08

No, this is the basketball rankings, thus the basketball forum....lol


FWIW, his football rankings are determined that way I believe. UNI is currently 9th in the football rankings. Cracked the top 10 for the first time last week....and yes we are still behind UNH and non playoff team William and Mary

Re: Sagarin ratings 12-7-08

I just don't understand how this is possible. Top 30? With 3 losses and none of the teams that beat us above us?

We're sitting like 140 in RPI. Something's off.

Don't buy into Sagarin right now. Football is a perfect example.

I'm trying to figure out why G-town, who is in the Big East, is considered mid major. That is literally the biggest and best conference in all of college basketball.

Now I may be stupid (which I know is true), but to me it clearly looks like Mount St. Mary's is #168 in these rankings and we are #181.

It's probably updated daily.

They play FCS football, so I think that is probably the thinking behind putting them as a "mid-major" in this poll

Re: Sagarin ratings 12-7-08

Doesn't it make you feel proud to be in the same company as Portland State and Presbyterian College?

Re: Sagarin ratings 12-7-08

The way we've played this year, I think being rated in the 180s is lucky
