Massey ratings have NDSU at #33 in divsion 1 -- ahead of Notre Dame, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, USC, ...
They moved up about a point to 77.68 in Sagarin's predictor score.
Week 9 in the can. SDSU is back in the top-25, while Mo State cracks it as well. Goodbye Georgia Sothern. Fully 60% of the MVFC is now in the top-25. The gap between the top two conferences and the pack widens a bit. KState's win nearly pushed them into the top 30. Let's hope they continue to win; just playing a top-30 team gives you a boost, I believe, let alone beating one. Sag predicts double digit wins from here on out. Let's hope we do like Saturday and add 14+ to the prediction.

Looks like Sagarin made a bunch of changes to the BCS-used Pure ELO algorithm. It's not even close to last week. No FCS teams even close to the top 25...when there had been a bunch in it. I'm guessing someone made a stink about how bad it was.
This whole fiasco just gives the lie to the BCS.
