2021 Sagarin Says

[THEsocalledfan]

FYI: No in-season top 10 from the selection committee this year. Probably not a good thing. I feel like it worked better when they had a chance to fuck it up at least once and get some feedback before they locked in their mistakes.

Which 100% happened the first year they did it. I agree firmly with Audit on this.

Well, oh well. Order has been restored to the universe. Hope Cam playing can drive us higher; not too happy with 60 ranking. Top 25 per Sagarin:

I was told that Southern Illinois is a lock for the MVFC autobid because they are the most otherwordly best team ever.

[El_Chapo]

is Longhorn on a Sagarin Diet ? no comments?

[bisonaudit]

Top 3, 4 of top 6, 5 of 10, 6 of 12, and 7 of top 14.

Probably be lucky if 4 make the post season.

[reformedUNDfan]

The Valley should move up, its a G5 caliber conference already. Leave UND, USD, WIU, YSU. Take WKU and MTSU from CUSA. Maybe steal NIU.

The Selection Committee refutes your and Sagarin's logic and substitutes their own.

[VirginiaBison]

Sam Houston State plays in the Western Athletic Conference which is ranked 9th in this accounting (MVFC is 1st). Interestingly the conference has an overall losing record so far this year at 13-14 (481%). With just 13 wins, SHSU accounts for almost half of the conference win with the other 5 conference teams averaging about 1 each. How is that for SOS?

Sagarin has their SOS @ 192 out of 258 teams. So not good at all.

With all this said, I do understand Sam H's argument on Sam. They are pounding folks, have real players, and are not your same old Sam Houston. At least it is rationale this time as opposed to when over ranked in the past. With that said, I think NDSU is back as long as we get quality QB play and would beat them on a neutral field by 7. I think Sagarin has that spot on.
