That's why Sagarin is interesting in that it doesn't give as much credit for wins against non and partial scholarship schools.

I know you are all hepped up on goofballs SH but RIGHT NOW how in the FUCK would they be on that list?

Try, for once in your fucking life to deal with reality.

They are a good team, they very well could end up there at the end of the year, but RIGHT FUCKING NOW, how do they go on the list.

Funny thing is every year we get the same BSC hating, and every year the committee tends to agree with me.

Thanks. I will respect your wishes and will not argue with you.

At least now I can understand the source of your confusion.

Hey, they are an impressive 2-3 against D1 teams...I won't be shocked to see them in the top 10 tomorrow.


Oh, and the Sirens would be ranked #1 right now.

Don't forget about the miles calculations for bus trips that will undoubtedly drive the opening and first round matchups.

Anything within 400 miles is a bus trip per the Championship rules and will undoubtedly be a matchup.

The "truth" hurts? That's funny.

The NCAA statistics for toughest schedule are based solely on opposition record.....which is obviously retarded. For instance, according to the NCAA, playing Wagner (4-2) is equal to playing NAU (4-2). It doesn't take into account where the game is played either.

That is why the Sagarin is leaps and bounds better than the NCAA. I believe the GPI also works like Sagarins ratings too.

All true except the GPI doesn't "work" like anything. its just an index of all computer rankings, including Sagarin.

Thanks. "Works" is an acceptable word, given the context, and I stand by it.

I don't want to argue semantics but I guess I will..............the correct statement would be that "the computers that make up the GPI, including Sagarin, work like Sagarin and not the NCAA stupid-ass SOS calculation".....

I'm not sure how impressive 2-3 can be, but their losses are at Stanford, at Montana by 3, and to Montana State in OT.

Either playing at Montana isn't as difficult as it once was, or Sac St. has a very respectable team this year.

That and our 3 turnovers in our redzone.....and the blocked punt...

God we suck! :rofl:

Sac is the 5th best team in the Big Sky, so I don't see how anyone could be upset they aren't ranked

Does that mean that teams are REQUIRED to bus to those games, or that the NCAA will only pay the equivalent of a bus trip? Theoretically, teams could apply the cost of a bus trip to a plane trip and foot the difference themselves. Not every school would do that, particularly in this fiscal environment, but I could see it done.

Teams are only reimbursed for the costs associated with a bus trip. I believe they can fly if they want, but won't get paid for it by the NCAA.
