Didn't WMU beat the 3 teams directly above them on this list?

And despite their own ranking, SB Nation has WMU in, and both EMU and Miami out.

And NIU beat 3 of the 5 teams above them on the list.

I don't have an issue with Miami and EMU ranked ahead of us. They were playing better ball toward the end of the season (aside from the final game perhaps... a 1 score win over NIU is more impressive than a 1 score win over Kent).

But the ~30-35 spot differential is highly doubtful.

CMU ahead of BGSU is odd.

And tanked on last two games to Miami 6-6 WMU 7-5.

Yeah, pretty stupid...and 7 spots ahead. BG won 2 more games and beat CMU. Sort of easily invalidates the whole ranking. CMU's lone win was over an FCS opponent, albeit a fairly decent one.

It's too early for this offseason-level silliness.

Ohio is way too high
NIU is way too low
CMU is way too high

This list is pretty garbage to me.
