What was the Ivy League's Top-25 victory this season?

[LehighU11]

What was the Ivy League's Top-25 victory this season?
Dartmouth's win on Oct. 7th over Yale, who is currently ranked 19th in their poll. They consider teams' current rankings, rather than their rankings when games occurred.

This is their current top 25:

1 North Dakota St. ( 9-1) 1 100.0 6
2 James Madison James Madison ( 10-0) 1 99.9 1

Their computer loves itself some Big Sky apparently.

Worth noting that the following 5-5 teams are ranked in this top 25: #15 Richmond, #21 Youngstown St., #24 UC Davis. 5-5 SELA comes in just outside at #26 and 4-6 Montana St. is #30. 9-1 Wofford is #35xlolx

Thanks.

So they are not using the ranking at the time of the game, and they aren't using the "official" STATS FCS poll, correct?

Ugh ... what a sham!

I did it for the most recent AGS poll:
4 - North Dakota State
2 - Southern Utah, Weber State, James Madison, Northern Iowa, South Dakota State, Western Illinois, Samford, Central Arkansas
1 - Eastern Washington, Montana, Sacramento State, Delaware, Elon, New Hampshire, Stony Brook, Towson, Illinois State, South Dakota, Youngstown State, Holy Cross, Chattanooga, Western Carolina, Wofford, Nicholls

By conference:
13 - MVFC
7 - Big Sky, CAA
5 - Southern
3 - Southland
1 - Patriot

NDSU should have 4 (WIU, USD, UNI, and EWU).

The OVC could have had three or so but UTC and Liberty had to blow chunks all over this season.

[Mattymc727]

One of the weirdest stats I've ever seen. Isn't the MVFC going to automatically have the most wins based on their conference schedule? The cannibalism of each of the power conferences is what makes this stat. Not sure what the point is.

Now, the most top 25 wins by team is much more meaningful.

The wins over top 25 competition is sort of an irrelevant statistic for most of the season. If you do it week to week, then you get credit for beating an overrated team early in the season (see, JSU's win over UTC).

If you look back, then you sort of lose context (see, Wofford's win over Furman).

Besides, I don't even know how they calculate these numbers. I know that Furman, Wofford, and Samford are top 25 teams in every poll, and Wofford beat Furman and Samford beat Wofford, so that's two wins right there.

It is hard to get Top 25 victories when your conference has you playing 9 games within the conference and your bottom half of your conference sucks.

ISUB MSU and SIU are pretty bad teams in the MVFC. That’s a third of our teams.

Then again if we went to 9 games half our teams would get another crack at a top 25 win

Davis being ranked is ridiculous.

Slac State @ #12 is even more so.
