Nice numbers! Wow! Actually the thing that strikes me most is NDSU's worst DI season (2009) the Sagarin FCS rank of 33 (out of about 125 teams) is not all that bad. I know I thought that year was terrible. We as fans are truly blessed to have such a great football program to follow.

I picked 2006, 2007, and 2010 to now. I need to learn how to format tables in HTML. In the meantime, I hope this is readable.

Columns represent: Season, Sagarin Rating, Rank in all DI, Rank in FCS, Notable FCS peers and their Sagarin Rating.

Year Score DI AA - FCSPeers Rating
2006 71.81 57 2 - App-1 73.36
2007 68.80 71 4 - App-1 75.73
2010 63.66 94 9 - Del-1 72.88
2011 46.60 37 1 - Sam-2 70.59
2012 77.94 35 1 - Sam-2 70.81
2013 86.38 17 1 - EIU-2 75.23
2014 79.78 32 1 - ISUr-2 75.17


And it looks like BisonAudit beat me to it while I was trying to get the columns to line up. Curiously, some of our numbers are off, though. Not sure why. They're in the same ballpark. I took my figures from Sagarin's archives, which I believe represent his final rankings of each respective season.

Ahh... I think he took the "Predictor" score while I used the "Rating." That would explain the difference.

I think audit is using the Predictor column while you're using the combined rating.

I pulled mine from the USA Today site.

Edit: confirmed, rating v. predictor. Classic Sagarin issue.

Average FCS ranking = #9 and mean ranking = #3.
