Is this legit?

I looked up the Sagarin ratings to see if Bethune Cookman would actually be favored to beat Oregon.

I see Bethune Cookman ranked 112th. xconfusedx

Highest ranked FCS team is NDSU at 42nd. xconfusedx

It is evidently a new metric that Sagarin unveiled recently. It is not the Predictor score that is a fair measure of how teams stack up.

The BCS use Pure_ELO - the numbers in green. So BCU is 67 and NDSU 85. Still don't see how either are in the top ten.

I believe they were effed up and Sagarin fixed them. Yesterday Fordham was 7th in this, Bethune 4th, etc.. it was probably a mess up
