Current Sagarin. Our best OOC is #48. Our SOS thus far is 60th. That said, we only play one team in the current Top 38 and only two in the Top 47. Nearly half (5 teams) of our schedule is between 48th and 56th, a very strong middle. The bottom is not bad either with only one team outside 97th.
We are now 9th in the ACC, so right in the middle. Getting top half is definitely possible. Getting ahead of the Top FCS seems out of reach. Being 5th in the ACC (25% teams above and 75% below) would require us winning out and some help. Getting 2nd in the Northeast would likely require winning out. We need to get #1 in NY State, that could be tight. Finishing Top 50 is still possible.
