FIU needs to beat Toledo!! WKU beating Navy would be nice but no one actually thinks that will happen. Louisiana plays #22 Nebraska, but I doubt they'll win that. I did see some good things from UL while they were playing LSU, but they just need to play smarter.

NICE . . . I hope the SBC remains above the MAC throughout the season . . . next up CUSA . . .

SBC, CUSA, and MAC are all really close. SBC could easily overtake CUSA. FAU needs to beat UAB and we need to win some more of our ooc games.

Where's that 1AA pain in the sss? Did he run away?

Guys we can't have it both ways. We dismiss the Georgia Southern guy when propping himself up by this asinine rating system, but now that it has us rated above the MAC we celebrate?

Guys Sagarin is more cracked out than the BCS. Fact.

What he said. Sagarin is a pile of horse excrement.

Not to be cruel to the 'Toppers, but without WKU, our average bumps up to 63.64, literally tied with CUSA.


I only say that to put in better perspective the great job we have done so far this season.

I'm extremely confident the WKU will be one of the better football programs in this conference, in time.

Yep, just in time for South Alabama to come on board.

oh great, thanks for holding us back Toppers, now everyone is justified for hating you haha jk. I'm sure it won't be long until wku is a contender in football.

I agree that Sagarin's Ratings are pretty messed up. Still glad to see the Sun Belt not rated last, even if it is Sagarin

Although any computer ranking system is inaccurate this early, I would think Sagarin is much better for comparing teams within the same division than across divisions because there are so few opponents in common.
