    I'm glad UTSA/USM are at home.

    I agree about UTSA.

    USM owns us so it won't matter.

    It's all gobbly gook to me. Unless you're betting hard money it doesn't really matter. And it's good conversation, I guess.

    Here's an interesting way to look at things: we are middle of the pack for all the normal stats in CUSA, and MSST is the best overall for most items excluding passing. We have played an average SOS thus far (Sagarin's grades vs games played thus far). I've highlighted the top CUSA team in each category in green (MSST in categories where it has a better stat than CUSA I've used money green), and the worst in CUSA in red (UTEP and Rice are the winners of these, but they've both played top 3 SOS so far). I've kept the teams in the same order as the composite above
    Week3-stat-2017.jpg

    As for Tech's ranking is CUSA:
    Total O/G: 4th (413 yds/g)
    Rush O/G: 8th (165 yds/g)
    Pass O/G: 5th (248.3 yds/g)
    Points/G: 4th (32)
    Total D/G: 10th (408 yds/g)
    Rush D/G: 13th (203.7 yds/g)
    Pass D/G: 6th (204.7 yds/g)
    SOS: 5th (63 on Sagarin)

    Poll Re: Blue Dawg's Weekly Sagarin Football Thread 2017

    UTSA jumps to the front of the line. We're still favored but not by much. Straight up, we're still favored to win 10. Mathematically, those chances have dropped to about 8%. The most likely scenario is 8 wins (33%) so I suspect we drop USM and UTSA.

    Thanks to positive impressions from CFN and Paul Myerberg due to the USCar game, we barely maintain the top spot in the composite rankings (i.e. 1-7 remain the same). UNT & FIU improves in CUSA, and USL finally drops below NLULM. And yes, UNCC is across the board the worst team in FBS...

    Updated Stats. Tech's still in the middle for all of these, except that now Sagarin says Tech has played the best SOS. UTSA has the best overall stats; however, they have the 2nd worst SOS in CUSA. I'm also happy to see we've brought our run D below 200 YPG

    Week4-stat-2017.jpg

    As for Tech's ranking is CUSA:

    Total Offense: #5 (400
    YPG)
    Rush Offense: #8 (143.8
    YPG)
    Pass Offense: #5 (256.5 YPG)
    Total Defense: #10 (413 YPG)
    Rush Defense: #12 (186 YPG)
    Pass Defense: #6 (227.3 YPG)
    SOS: #1 (38)

    We are rated very poorly in nearly every category. I haven't compared to the rest of CUSA. #91 overall.

    I find it interesting that he still has WKU has the top team in CUSA (67, UTSA 68, SoMiss 71, FAU 82, Tech 91). Any ranking that has FAU better than Tech is sketchy at best, and WKU's performances thus far don't deserve to be best ranked in CUSA.

    I don't understand the love fest with UTSA, Baylor is horrible this year.

    Only redeeming quality I see for them is the 41-47 loss they had with Oklahoma last week. Assuming Oklahoma is good (crushed Ohio State), that's a pretty good testament to UTSA's prowess

    Fairly unbiased maybe, but it has to have a good bias toward last year's results to have WKU that high.

    Tech maintains top place, Marshall jumps WKU for 3rd, and SoMiss drops from 2nd to 7th.

    The composite still has USA ranked 8pts higher than UAB, which hopefully means good things for us this weekend.

    Also, LSU warrents a new drop color, due to being the first team to drop more than 20 points in the composite. LSU is now worse than both MSST & USCa
