My computer doesn't start rankings until the 7th week of the season. It calculates several traditional and non-traditional factors when assigning a ranking to the team.

Here are the results:
1. NIU
2. Temple
3. Toledo
4. Miami
5. CMU
6. WMU
7. Buffalo
8. KSU
9. EMU
10. BSU
11. BG
12. Akron
13. Ohio

NIU takes the tops spot based on performance to date. Ohio sinks to the bottom despite a winning record due to the computer bias against Green and White color combination on the team uniforms. I know, I know, you're thinking what about EMU, right? Well, the eagle has a higher spirit animal quotient than the bobcat in the algorithm, therefore gains several spots in the poll.

Given from your avatar that you are a 7 month old baby I question if you have the experience to be releasing your own rankings, but whatever.

That would explain Buffalo's rating since there are two animals involved and the only animals ahead of them are birds or domesticated. The combination of wild and domestic would clearly bring the average to a less-than-birdlike quotient and we all love dogs (especially Toledo fans). Clearly no need to explain why the falcon has such a low spirit quotient but c'mon- Kangaroos? How can you not love a kangaroo, mate?

Given from your avatar you are an inanimate object I question how you can operate a computer to release rankings. At least I have opposable thumbs.

And you're cute. I give your cute baby avatar a spirit quotient score of +7.5 over AKC's "helmet" avatar. I can't imagine that's not more than fair.

Can't take it can we??? LOL.

I can not like those shifty kangaroos. You never know what they may keep in their pockets...

toothbrush, change of underwear, wallet and keys.

Oh I thought they stole my ring...

Did you know that EMU used to be the Hurons! That's worth at least a wooden nickel in the standings......

Yea and Miami changed their name as well. How many other teams had to change their names over the years in the MAC?

This poll is extremely accurate and probably mirrors what I'm thinking about the MAC right now.
