Projected Final Rankings

They simulated the entire season and came up with a ranking before any conf championships or bowls games. Bowling Green comes in at 15! :shock: :D Finishing the season at 10-1, only loss being to Oklahoma since they ended up 11-0 and at 1. Also, Miami, O was 10, NIU was 15, and OSU was below us! :lol: Oh yea, UT was 47! HAHAHA! Wouldn't that be great!

The ranking seems to be tad illogical. If our only loss would be to Oklahoma and the MAC west, without question, is a more difficult schedule, would that not put us in a higher ranking than the Redskins?

I'm not complaining about an 11-1 prediction, I just question the accuracy of the overall rankings.

You are right. It does seem odd that our schedule rank is 98 and Miami's is 102. Our only loss is to the # 1 team, but their only loss is to the # 2 team. So I think we are really close.

Oh by the way, did you see that Utah was undefeated? :vom: If you read the disclaimer about the process, it does say that it came up with way too many undefeated teams.
