Unfortunately for the Broncs, the loss Sat. was brutal in the RPI, which dropped to 70. Kent at 32. Almost impossible for anyone else to get their RPI into the 30's for a shot at an at-large. It will be hard enough for Kent to keep it there with loss or two somewhere.

What the hell is (W)aste (M)ovement (U)niversity doing ranked above us? They should be "vacated" from the system. They were eaten by us once, already!

I've been wondering about that myself, CE! Sagarin indicates we have a more difficult schedule, and we have beaten Western, in Kalamazoo no less, and we have a slightly better record, yet we've been ranked lower all season. I think it has something to do with the predictor, but I'm not sure.

Sagarin's ratings are based to a large degree on margin of victory.

Many of WMU's wins have been by double-digits, while CMU's for the most part have been the single-digits. Hence, WMU being ranked higher. When (hopefully) the Chippewas pound the Broncos in Mt. Pleasant, the ratings should change appropriately.

Sagarin needs a couple of "digits" to his eyeballs, alaMoe(d)!

Hey CMICH

Did you see the Jim Spadafore's ranking of the top team's in Michigan?

He had MSU ranked #1
UM #2
& Central and Western ranked 3 & 4(not sure of the order I read it this morning)

I found it kind of curious considering both of your schools beat Michigan and UT beat MSU.
