I’ll continue to keep track of how teams did against ranked teams. Just something to look at in evaluating teams. The formula is to give teams points based on the ranking of the team they played: 25 points for playing a #1 ranked team, 24 for #2, 23 for #3, down to 1 point for playing #25. (A shortcut: subtract the number of the ranking from 26). Then you add in the net point differential of the game.

Examples: Navy lost to #13 Notre Dame 3-42. The Middies get 13 points for playing the #13 team but lose 39 for losing to that team 3-42. Net points: -26. Let’s see who had the best result each week and who accumulates the most points over the season.

Comment: The season gets real now. Power 5 teams are playing Power 5 teams and ranked teams are playing ranked teams. It’s not about Directional State.

Syracuse has yet to play a ranked team.

SU opponents: Colgate none (0 would mean they played a ranked team and came out even), Western Michigan -30, Purdue none, Army none, Clemson +15, North Carolina none, Florida State +42, Virginia Tech none, Boston College +21, Pittsburgh -8, Georgia Tech -16, Wake Forest none
