Sagarin Rankings
We dropped down to 69th. We are now 12th in the ACC, 5th in the Northeast (even behind Rutgers), and first in NY State. Our SOS thus far is 13th. We only play three Top 22 teams, but four teams between 23 and 32, but only one team between 33rd and 83rd.
This next game is huge. If we lose we could tumble down. And then it potentially sets up SU vs BC with the loser being the 2nd worst P4 team this year (no one is catching Okie State).
ACC has only one Top 22 team, but has eight Top 42 teams (7 teams between 23 and 42).
The SEC has only ONE Top 5 team. But five of the Top 10, ten of the Top 21, and only one team outside of the Top 48.
The B1G has the Top 3, but has eight teams outside of the Top 54.
The AAC has the highest G6 conference leader, and CUSA has the lowest ranked conference leader.
I would like to play Northeastern G6s OOC. Temple, Delaware, Buffalo, UMass (worst FBS team) are all out the Top 100. Navy, UConn, Army, Marshall are all outside the Top 80.
Same for the Northeastern P4s. Maryland, Rutgers, West Virginia are all outside the Top 50. Only Penn State is highly ranked.
