SportsRatings: College Football

Interesting "poll" to look at and debate about. It combines all college football teams in Division 1, Division 2, Division 3 and NAIA. I have no idea the methodology and I'm sure it's just as flimsy as every other poll that's ever been put together, but other than the Sagarin, I think this is the only one that combines all of Division 1 teams together.

I just did a quick look at things, but one red flag raised quickly was when I saw Dartmouth ranked ahead of Penn. Penn not only won the Ivy League title, but also beat Dartmouth last season. It was fun seeing D-III and D-II schools ranked with the D-Is, however. Mount Union was ranked 195th, just a couple of spots behind a Wagner team that made a good showing in last year's FCS playoffs.

Interesting but Trinity (CT) beating UMass???? Umm...just no.

I'm sure the Lehigh posters will be howling

Now why was I thinking the same thing... only a few spots above Trinity lol...

NDSU ahead of Va Tech?

And coming in dead last...... Miserocordia. At least they aren't Lafayette

I think my favorite is U of Minn-Duluth being 1 ahead of App St, and quite a few FBS teams.

It has been proven on many occasion, Cornfed linemen > socon teams.

Ken Massey has been doing this for many years, though he gets up to 763 teams by including Canadian Interuniversity Sports

But now, the question is, which all-divisional ranking is more accurate?

[wapiti]

292. Montana Tech 8-3 5.92 29.07 [304] 23.14 [284]
293. Concordia-St Paul 2-9 5.78 31.26 [274] 25.48 [322]
294. Missouri Southern 6-5 5.51 26.22 [340] 20.71 [253]
295. Georgia St 1-10 5.50 30.01 [287] 24.50 [301]

This is good stuff. FBS Georgia St is behind NAIA Montana Tech

A perfect end to summer silly season.xlolx A result of equal parts of tequila and darts.xnodx

[BisonFan02]

189. South Dakota 1-10 21.85 35.77 [223] 13.91 [151]
192. Lehigh 10-1 21.48 36.67 [208] 15.18 [170]

What? Looks pretty accurate to me? :D

[knucklehead]

WOW, what the world? They must be using DOS and the first ever commodore 64 to process this.

[344Johnson]

NDSU ahead of Va Tech?

And?

[Lehigh Football Nation]

This simply demonstrates how fatally flawed all of these ranking systems are in terms of football.
