The SMU win was pretty good for us as it brought us up +30 spots, back to where we began the 2017 season.

Once again, our terrible conference ensures that anything less than 9 wins will be a disappointment. I am curious to see how the UNT and FAU lines move as the season progresses. These will likely be our only chances to beat Top 100 teams (UAB might sneak in by the time we play them). Remember that early-season Sagarin ratings are a mix of stuff including previous seasons. If we've truly shaken off the rust, that'll be reflected in rankings from about Week 3 (I think).
