It appears from the current SOS numbers coming in the CAA is a little tougher then last year. That should help us SOS wise, and perhaps we can get someone to break from the pack with us to have a close to top 100 year.

Sags have it after last night's win:

126 Hofstra
136 CofC
141 NU
143 TU
151 UD
160 JMU
169 Drexel


285 UNCW
297 Elon
333 W&M

If we can finish in the top 2 we would very possible be in the top 130.

It looks pretty wide open amongst the top 7.

Winning these games by bigger point differentials would certainly help our rating - Non D1 Carlow does not count.

JMU is Sag favored to win by 9 on Saturday. Perhaps this could be the first of many we could learn to win with ease. A 15 point win would be nice.

Yeah really hoping to see just that on Saturday. We've shown we can handle the last minute, game on the line, pressure. We've shown we never quit and can battle back from double digits to win. Now let's show we can blow out a D1 team.

Dukester, yes the margin of victory is killing our rating as every win has been close no matter who we are playing. Our two losses are not bad as they are both in ~top 150. I think the EKU win will look better as season goes on as they have played a pretty tough schedule and lost respectably to top 16 USC last night on the road.

Hopefully the next three games we can open up the margin of victory.
They are all winnable games against some weaker opponents.
