So why do we care how teams are currently ranked ? That is my point. It has nothing to do with the final ranking or selection process. We could loose the next 4 games and that matters at the end of the season when they make a selection. I can guarantee if that happens we will not be seated 10th.
Because it is ground zero for the remainder of the season. You can see how the committee currently views the teams, because as you have already expressed, you don't see it the same, so now people have a better gauge. That is why we care.
They are following a new system to rank teams, kinda. But understanding how they will do things now will predict how they will do things come selection sunday.
And that is why this one matters it exposed the “human” element aka bias this committee’s members have thus is now on record for us too see since they are not all backed up by the computer models.
Not impressive in Sagarin. 129. That’s about 10th in FCS.
We care because it gives a glimpse of the teams the committee currently likes. Other than the top 4, I wouldn’t have picked what the committee picked. Seemed way out of order to me.
Truth be told, I don't think how they evaluate has/will change at all.
In other words, the toughest game you played at home in that five year stretch - you lost? Ok. Gotcha.
Sorry this is a pet peeve. I tried to let it go and I was hoping Kem would beat me to the punch but he must be asleep. You keep repeating it over and over which destroys any credibility you think you might have.

I am not vying for a participation trophy so if you can't understand my points with or without spelling then just move a long.
Well I'd say SDSU in the semis was a pretty good team, Cats took care of them, handily. Normally the griz make it a good competitive game, but not the last two times they came to Bozeman. There are many others too.
Griz killed the Cats last season. Cats couldn't win a home playoff game. Cats looking a bit weak this season.
Eh 2021 sdsu was a better team
Whatttttt??? Their qb went to nfl, 2 rbs in nfl, 2 wrs, Kraft is a top TE, not to mention some real defensive talent. That was one hell of a team.
Well first of all, we were talking about how incredibly rare it is for the Cats to lose in Bozeman. Second of all, LOL!
Cats lose in Bozeman when they are playing strong teams. Cats just play weaker schedules much of the time.

Nah, have beaten very strong teams, in fact teams stronger than the NDSU team the Cats lost to in Bozeman last year thanks to a blocked XP in OT. As I mentioned earlier, SDSU, and UM twice I believe were strong teams. There have been many others but I'm not going to go back through all the home games over the last five years and see how many of the teams we beat were ranked. Recently, crushed Idaho who was #7 in the country, but come to find out - everybody then says Idaho sucks AFTER we crushed them. lol
