    In terms of overall game quality, this isn't even the worst we've played. Keep in mind that the Sagarin line for this game was nearly 26.

    This ranking, us at 94, is all Division I schools, FCS & FBS? If so, how many schools is that? There's 132 in FBS, or something close to that.

    255. You will notice that all of our remaining opponents are near or below #130 (which, theoretically, is the lowest FBS), which will make the loss to USM sting more than usual.

    I don't expect to beat USM.

    WKU concerns me. They are more like a 3-5 or 4-4 type CUSA team. Not very good, but not as bad as their record either. Eckels, their regular starter at QB, returned after suffering an early season injury. He looked okay at times, and not so good, vs. MTSU the other night. If he stays healthy he should be back in form by the time we play them. WKU also has a good defense.

    I expect to beat Rice, but it won't be a blowout like it should be. More like 31-20. Lackluster, "did enough not to lose" type of performance.

    In the bigger picture, how can anyone with an ounce of pride be satisfied with being ranked 94th?

    Honestly, I'm not sure I expect to beat Rice. I think at the end of the game we might have more points than they do. But I don't expect to win, if that makes sense.

    If Rice plays LA Tech the way they did UNT, they will punish our QB. UNT's QB (Mason Fine) is at least 100 times more mobile than J'Mar, and they still got to him and did some physical damage. Better not sleep on Rice.

    We only have a 53% chance to win the Rivalry in Dixie, with a -1.15 line. If we lose, we will lose any shot at a 10 win season. So, we will lose.

    I don't know specifics but we have played extremely poorly and not even come close to covering the spread on many of our games against very poorly rated opponents. I'm not sure about them but that would be my first guess.

    I didn't know that how we performed against the spread had bearing on the rating system, but that would definitely help explain why we are ranked below teams that we've beaten. Thanks.

    Tbf is it any worse than UNT not beating the spread on UTEP and then losing to ODU?

    Thats just my guess. But I suspect that's part of it. I track the "quality" of the games, essentially this is a measure of how well we match the spread. You want this all in the 80 range. Really good games or upsets will be higher (the Wichita State game for the Dunkin Dawgs was about 92). Whereas our games are usually in the 50-60 range, with a few in the 40s. That's bad.
