Not a big fan of Jeff Sagarin's ratings myself but nice to be included in some type of top 25 listing. Interesting behind Washington State, watched their bowl and not overly impressed just one game so I won't denigrate them too much.
Surprised North Dakota State is not there with us?

Very nice. #2 G5 ranking overall. The bottom 7 in the conference have a lot of work to do.

Hard to put but so much weight in Sagarins, especially when they mix FCS schools in. James Madison is having a terrific year, and they should cap it with an FCS title next week, but 40th in all of Division 1 and ahead of San Diego State and Houston seems a bit unlikely. Or having four FCS schools ahead of everyone in CUSA except Western Kentucky -- I understand that CUSA didn't have the best year ever but that one's a big hard to swallow.

But you take your victories where you can find them, so congrats to WKU.

Very unfortunate typo, I think?

Yeah, Sagarin rates the top FCS teams ridiculously high. However, the FBS order of rankings is usually pretty solid.

Yeah, it was a big boner.
