I only thought there were 129 teams in FBS. Maybe, and call me crazy for suggesting this, but maybe Massey is also including FCS teams as well. Just a thought.



:P
Perhaps, or is it that OS is excluding FCS teams?
I had not thought to look at it that way?

Mind Blown
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

OS is consistent in that he over rates the schools you listed. Would there be 26 FCS teams in front of AState. That seems a bit high of a number, though I am sure the top FCS is coming in higher than 64 out of 250 or so teams. I don't see that many FCS teams pushing that high. For every NDSU there is a whole conference of Davidson level teams.
This is an interesting point about 26 FCS above StAte. I personally don't think more than a handful of FCS teams, 5-6 could consistently win against StAte. If that is indeed true Massey is definitely out of whack. I am saying Massey is wrong in that regard.

Only 6 FCS teams were ranked ahead of them... the Ranking are just THAT different

I could be mistaken but I don't think that's what he's saying. I think the point was that FCS teams being included in the Massey rankings isn't the only difference between the two lists.

6 of the 26 are in there, out of the 64 in which there are 250. But not if 129, or your top 40.

And it looks like we missed their write-up on Troy: #39, a few spots above WF and just behind Toledo (?). (No mention of our outright slaughter of Toledo in the DG Bowl, in case you were wondering. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/c ... story.html)

Troy's write-up: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/c ... story.html

I don't know why the people doing these rankings are so fixated on ranking the MAC higher than they deserve. I just don't see any justification for having Toledo higher than either Troy or App.

The Belt has owned the MAC for the last few years. I wish the media would figure that out.

Me either. It can't be justified.
