Toledo is an interesting one. If you go off the various rating systems they might be a spot or two high on there but they're not a huge reach. What's interesting about them is they're a team RPI probably wouldn't like because they've played a weak schedule (even weaker than ours) but the newer systems that consider scoring margins do like them because they're average scoring margin is over 16 (ours is just over 7). This weekend they play Penn who is only a few spots behind them on that poll, so that should help tell us about them.

It's tough to gauge how we stack up with them right now. Their one loss is to Wright St. by 10 and we beat them by 7. The other two common opponents are Cleveland St (Toledo won by 13 us by 4) and Detroit (Toledo by 44 us by 4 points and a Jaylin Walker miracle). So I think I agree with them being ahead of us right now... But our top wins are definitely better than their top wins and almost half of our body of work was without Walker. So I like where we are for sure.
