Granted this is one 'view', but pretty significant - the Missouri Valley Conference does really well per Sagarin. Except for SDSU's hiccup against JMU, the Valley did well.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
The starting ratings for 2018 are up on Sagarin's site: https://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/
NDSU starts at #35 for the rating and #34 for the predictor. I'm not sure if that's the highest they've ever started a season at but it wouldn't surprise me if it is. 5 MFVC teams in the top 6 and 8 in the top 25 (FCS only).
EDIT: And somehow they just moved down to #36 for both.... apparently the data entry is still happening???

Can't wait to see JMU talk about disrespect.
