We can use this thread to post updated computer ratings/Massey Composite as those numbers are known. I have included my program's ratings below.

Sun Belt Team Ratings:
38 - James Madison (-5)
39 - Marshall (-5)
50 - Georgia Southern (+5)
51 - Texas State (+33)
55 - Troy (+1)
56 - Georgia State (-24)
65 - App State (+12)
76 - Louisiana (-10)
82 - South Alabama (-28)
91 - Coastal Carolina (-2)
97 - ULM (-11)
103 - Old Dominion (-11)
111 - Arkansas State (-8)
129 - Southern Miss (-19)

Average Conference Team Rating:
40.57 - SEC
44.00 - Pac-12
48.71 - Big 12
50.21 - Big Ten
52.57 - ACC
74.50 - Sun Belt
84.92 - Mountain West
87.75 - FBS Independent
89.21 - AAC
93.33 - CUSA
99.33 - MAC

For National Ratings, after being #1 the past two weeks, Penn State is supplanted at the top by Texas. Here my program's top 5 for week 6.
1. Texas
2. Penn State
3. Oklahoma
4. Washington
5. Florida State

AAC closer to the CUSA and MAC, than it is to the SBC.

We have SIX teams in the top 56!!



Did I do that right?

I'm a little shocked that Southern Miss is struggling so much. They all seemed pretty pumped about the season and the QB.

Believe us, we’re shocked to. Coaching problems. Don’t know if it can be fixed or not but the fan base is pissed.

The coach chose a QB with one set of skills, but calls plays that fit the other QB and refuses to change QB or plays. OL has been trash for 4 years and not improved at all too. Finally, if something consistently works against a team, we stop doing it. Bizarre.

Massey also ranks conferences, which is different than using the average team rank:

1. SEC - 8.18
2. Pac-12 - 8.11
3. Big Ten - 7.99
4. Big 12 - 7.98
5. ACC - 7.79
-------------------------------------
6. Sun Belt - 7.22
7. Mountain West - 7.14
8. American - 7.05
9 (tie). Conference USA - 6.77
9 (tie). MAC - 6.77

Sorry CatMom, everyone knows what really matters is the top 37.

Thought y’all might enjoy this. Supposedly this is how the G5 would look like if the BCS ranking was still used.

12. Liberty
16. Marshall
19. JMU
21. Fresno
AAC. N/A

I will refer to them as BCS #16 Marshall, and BCS #19 JMU in all future posts this week.

How do we usually look at the bottom of the Massey? I only counted 23 FCS teams ahead of our last rated team.

My liver doesn't understand it either.. It hasn't felt a disturbance in the force this bad in years.
