Major FCS Change Slips in Under the Radar

[BDKJMU]

Then you'd have to factor in I-AAs and I-A's relative power within their own division. But it shouldn't be some complicated computer formula that no one understands. Something like this might work:

Win over a Big 5: 25 points + 1 point for every opponents win.
Win over a non Big 5 I-A & I-AA transitioning up: 20 points + 1 point for every opponents win.
Win over I-AA (except NEC): 15 points + 1 point for every opponents win
Win over an NEC & transitioning from Div II to I-AA: 10 points + 1 point for every opponents win.
Win over a Div II: 5 point + 1 point for every opponents win.

+ 2 points if win was on road, +1 point if win was at neutral site.

In general, I would agree with that, with one caveat. Why single out just the NEC? Under current conditions, the Pioneer would seem to be just as bad, if not worse. And one could name a couple of other conferences as well....

You're right. I meant Pioneer. For some reason my brain was stuck on NEC. Probably because JMU is playing 2 NEC teams. Fixed it.
