I am using 6 different randomly selected statistic categories (PO - pass offense YPG, RO - run offense YPG, PS - points scored, PA - points allowed, PD - pass defense YPG, RD - run defense YPG) to produce a rating for each C-USA team, on basis of which I rank them. This ranking is absolutely non-authoritative, but, since I am the smartest, most modest, and overall nicest person in the world, everyone should just accept these as fact:

Code:

#   Team     RATING ( PO  RO  PS  PA  PD  RD)
---------------------------------------------
1.  UTSA       27.5 ( 38  31  37  20   5  34)
2.  USM        49.2 ( 40  48  68  43  59  37)
3.  UNT        55.3 ( 25  28  21 107 112  39)
4.  Marshall   61.0 ( 59  96  97  18  59  37)
5.  FAU        61.8 (108  15  42  62  31 113)
6.  UAB        62.8 ( 96  37  47  88  24  85)
7.  MTSU       69.7 ( 49 112 114  58  51  34)
8.  WKU        70.0 ( 54 129 112  27  67  31)
9.  LaTech     70.2 ( 48  80  80  72  62  79)
10. FIU        88.0 ( 66  92 119  85  86  80)
11. Charlotte  96.0 (124  57 124  93  81  97)
12. ODU        96.5 (114  88  98 110  53 116)
13. Rice      103.3 (121  73 130 113 102  81)
14. UTEP      115.2 (123 124 127 123  75 119)

P.S. The lower the rating is the higher the team is ranked.

So, if a team beats you, you get to be ranked higher.... What a great formula.

I'll stick to watching them play, and using the eyeball test.

I fully explained my methodology. And since I am the most likeable, the wisest, the most well-behaved, and what's most important, the most modest, individual here, you should just accept it. Now, jokes aside, this may not be a correct or even reasonable ranking system. But it is objective in that it totally rules out subjectivity. Except, of course, I subjectively chose the methodology itself. But, after that, subjectivity had been fully removed.
