Analyzing the Sagarin Ratings

Just checking on the Jeff Sagarin feetball ratings for our favorite teams. The Big Orange comes in at number 7 (out of 240). Texas is nine. That's weird, but no weirder than Georgia Tech being 5. MTSU comes in a respectable 132, and Chattanooga is 2-0 and resides at number 167. My favorite Houston is 97th. And poor, poor Morehead State comes in at 224.

Oddly, Penn State is 64th. That might not sound too out of whack since they haven't been particularly good lately. But it puts them behind football powerhouses Toledo (47th) and Bowling Green (57th). It also sinks them behind Baylor (50th). Baylor for goodness sakes.

If the Big Orange ever falls below Baylor, I'll convert to Catholicism and cheer for Notre Dame. Honest. And I'll learn the real way to spell Catholicism too.
