BTW, updated Sagarin rankings:
1. We are #23....I can't figure out how to see what they were last week.
2. Schedule strength jumped to #108 (from #127)
3. North Dakota State's schedule strength dropped from #128 to #133.
Navy isn't going to help but the two games after that will, and then another big help will be the conference championship game (knock on wood...if we make it)
The North Dakota State argument no longer applies. I wonder what creative excuse they will come up with next. Funny, but you could also use North Dakota State to discount a lot of wins P5 schools have had, since they are ranked #31. So for any team below them, if a team beat them you could simply say,"You should have just scheduled North Dakota State instead of: Boston College, Miami, South Carolina, Syracuse, OK State, etc... etc... since they are a harder mathcup." If I was on stage with them, I'd throw that sh_t right back at them, but nobody on there will have the sacks to do it.
