CBS Bottom 25 - Week 3
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball...e-rankings
No. 18 - UTEP
No. 13 - Florida Atlantic
No. 11 - North Texas
No. 4 - UTSA
From the author, Tom Fornelli:
Quote:My opinion has absolutely nothing to do with the rankings. They are based on a mathematical formula of my creation. Every week I enter a bunch of different numbers into a spreadsheet, and that spreadsheet then spits out the rankings based on the data I entered. So keep this in mind before you call me an idiot, which I know you will.

Georgia State scored 28 points at Oregon while East Carolina was shellacked by Navy. I'm not sure why it is shocking.

Georgia State also lost at home to a third-year program. And Georgia State got shellacked by a lot more than ECU did. If the two teams were to play tomorrow, the Pirates would win by 4-5 TDs.

I saw something similar posted about the FIU @UCF game ... then about the Furman @ UCF game.

UTSA won't be there long. They are going to be a thorn in the side of the west and probably my Raiders too.

If they play like they did against Zona, yep. Against K-State and Okie? Nope.

I just don't get UTEP. After going to a bowl last season I figured they'd take another step forward this year. I guess they can still contend for the West and be good in conference.
No offense Miner fans. I'm just wanting to see one of the old guard teams turn it around. Lord knows you all have quite the atmosphere in the Sun Bowl.

Maybe, but any criticism tossed on ECU at the moment is warranted. They looked horrible in 2 of 3 games and the actual best performance was in the Florida loss.

Are you guys full FBS yet or in the second year of transition? Not sure you qualify for the bottom yet. Next year... :)

We qualify for everything except a bowl this year, IIRC.

Let what go? Someone posted a bottom poll, I posted the one ESPN produces. I've no beef with FAU, and you've no beef with me.
It seems to me you're trying very hard to make some sort of a point on multiple threads. Let it go.

EDIT: Oh, I bet it was this nastygram I dropped in the Week 4 Lines In The Sand thread:
Quote:FAU (-7.5) @ Charlotte; 7:00 pm, ET; ASN — Jump on this one. NOW. Florida Atlantic is not 0-3 bad. They take out some frustrations here. Florida Atlantic 55-14
I hope I can catch Francis for some absolution before he leaves town.

Not ashamed to admit it, but not seeing USM on these bottom lists feels good after the last 3 miserable years.

No, does not ring a bell. What does ring a bell is your angry disbelief that FAU, at 0-3, is being ranked by people above ODU. If I got a wrong Monarchs fan - my apologies.
Let me just point out: opinions are like ******** - everyone's got one.

We got thumped by Arkansas and Texas Tech. Sure, we could have looked better in those losses but I am waiting till after a couple of conference games before worrying. Not saying we are going to look great. I'm just surprised ed at the shade UTEP is getting considering who we have lost to.
