2023 Sagarin Says

[THEsocalledfan]

Can't believe we don't have this thread yet, so will get it started. I'll try to post top 25 each week; will wait until it updates tomorrow.

[BigHorns]

Based on preseason / Week 0:

SDSU #56
NDSU #74
EWU #152

Believe we overperformed on points a bit, so should see a slight bump tomorrow.
I'd guess #65-69 perhaps, unless we get dinged for SOS.
It all becomes more rational when the teams are "connected" though.

Top 25 Sagarin ratings after week 1. The spread between #1 and #5 is greater than the spread between #6 and #25.

We moved up 4 spots this week.

Do that every week, and we'll be #30 by end of regular season.
Probably need to crush everyone by huge margins though given the opponents.

That 30-pt Maine Spread is a problem, imo.

Might be tough to beat the spread this week, IF their run game D is legit.
They did shut down FIU.

[BiZon22]

If anyone cares we’re up to 66 and #2 in FCS, SDSU 52. It’s a pickem per Sagarin at home and we’re about 5.5-6.5 pt dogs at SDSU as of now.

SDSU moved up 2, while failing to beat the Sagarin predictor, on the defense of Montana State's ill-fated last second pass.

Sometimes you can move up if teams above you have a bad day.
