Belt Passes The Mac, Not Behind Any Iaa's Either

stebo · September 20, 2009

I like our chances of ending the season above the MAC again. At this point, the Belt should be cheering for our opponents that we have beat - Kansas State, Maryland, UAB, etc... The higher they go - the better we rank. When conference play rolls around the conference rankings pretty much lock in. Schools move up or down but the conference average is tough to change with the exception of late season OOC games. Anyway - here is to the Belt - wouldn't it be something if we passed up both the MAC and CUSA in one season? It is a possibility...

Good to see. Surprised we're so close to USA. I know that Cal is pulling up their ranking, but I don't agree that the PAC 10 is numero uno. The Big 12 obviously has some high powered offenses, and the ACC ain't bad, but year after year I'll go with the SEC. They're always damn tough pretty much from top to bottom, which is why I wish we would avoid scheduling them like the plague.

This is the same rating system that has the pac-10 listed as the best conference in college football... I'm not sure I can really take this seriously.
