Chill---next thing you know you will be predicting we are going to lose games 52-10.
Re: Stat: Polls since 2007
Impressed at the spread between us and #2 however I'm actually surprised it's not more. Very cool- thanks for the data, I love this crap
Re: Stat: Polls since 2007
Additionally, I Love seeing Montana, EWU, UNI and JMU in the Top 5. I think the FCS thrives when all of these programs are successful. I actually HOPE that all of those teams have 0-2 losses each year, as long as we aren't one of their victories

FCS needs some more CAA storied programs to get out of the rut. 2 of Nova/UNH/UD/Richmond all need to be perennial top 10 schools along with JMU. otherwise its just "what team can shape up perfectly to beat NDSU with their 1 shot".
Montana needs to do the opposite of whatever the fuck theyve been trying to do the last 15 years

I think if it weren't for a couple of rough years in 2008 and 2009, then it would be a lot more significant. Do these same statistics starting in 2010 or 2011 and I think the gap would grow.

For the decade starting in 2010, the numbers look like:

Like I've said before, Sam Houston State doesn't get much respect - their average final poll ranking is right around 5 which is a lot better than their average in-season ranking.
NDSU's average final ranking in both polls is a pretty dang good 2.25 (so NDSU has been underrated too.)
Re: Stat: Polls since 2007
I don’t know if SHSU is underrated by the polls. I do know who is though: everyone else in the MVFC. it’s not as bad as the DII days but there’s still a lot of counting of Ws and Ls and picking teams off the top of conference standings going on.
