App at 6?

App is #3 when you take out margin of victory, your schedule is #9

Richmond over Nova? W&M at 10 and over UNI and SIU?

Didn't JMU win the AQ Saturday?

Didn't JMU win the AQ Saturday?oops, fixed xlolx

[Skjellyfetti]

How does he calculate MOV?

Appalachian has an average MOV of 18. Richmond has a MOV of 16.63. How would that make App drop below them? Does it have to do with strength of schedule? If so... why does it help Montana and Weber St. when they have the 20th and 26th schedules?

[Syntax Error]

I just threw in the Massey ratings for the heck of it. My list depends on record mostly. Threw out any team with 5+ losses or in the IVY, PFL, NEC, and the SWAC conflicted teams. Since Montana Staters think that the 7 D-I win thing MAY not matter I left in all of them too.

Margin of victory is a load of crap, good teams sometimes win close games..

Why throw out the NEC? Are they not eligible? Isn't the NEC rated ahead of the SWAC, from which you included a team?

[Syntax Error]

Why throw out the NEC? Are they not eligible? Isn't the NEC rated ahead of the SWAC, from which you included a team?Because the SWAC has been to the playoffs many many times but the IVY, PFL, NEC have never been. I like the GIC too.

[appfan2008]

i know you have already defended yourself on this but you cannot believe app is the sixth best team in the nation...

i know you have already defended yourself on this but you cannot believe app is the sixth best team in the nation...no, App is not the 6th best team in the nation.

[UAalum72]

Because the SWAC has been to the playoffs many many times but the IVY, PFL, NEC have never been.
So because they haven't been in before, they're not even in the discussion ? How can they get in in the future if they're not in the discussion? You're in good company - Pete's Power Poll uses the same 'reasoning'.

And the SWAC hasn't had a team in since when, 10, 11years (since before the NEC was eligible for an autobid)? And never a win.

[appfan2008]

no, App is not the 6th best team in the nation.

really?

where would you have them ranked then???

knowing you behind every team in the midwest and the caa...

So because they haven't been in before, they're not even in the discussion ?That's okay, Delaware isn't either and they beat you 38-7.

knowing you behind every team in the midwest and the caa...xconfusedx I have no idea what you are talking about (and you don't either).

You said "you cannot believe app is the sixth best team in the nation..." and I answered "no, App is not the 6th best team in the nation." Chill. I have App ranked higher than sixth in both polls I vote in. (hint: Pete's is not one of them but enjoy your cheap shot)

you didnt clarify which way you thought app was better or worse than sixth and knowing your consistent opinion or the mountaineers i just assumed... sorry for assuming incorrectly...

[UAalum72]

It's not okay, and not an answer to the question either. And Delaware doesn't have seven Division I wins.

And the entire SWAC has only one Divison I out-of-conference win.
