CUSA and MAC didn't get a single win against an FBS team in week 1, while the Sun Belt got 2 wins against CUSA and MAC, and the losses coming against AQ teams. YET... we're still below both conferences. that's messed up imo.

I've been saying Sagarin is garbage for years. Early in the season it's especially true.

ECU did beat Tulsa.

Somewhere in the equation somebody has to give an initial opinion as to the power level of these teams. There is no way to take bias out of the system even using a piece of software.

Sagarin means absolutely ZIP for the first 5-6 weeks because the formula is partially based on the previous season.:odie:

That was a conference game though.
