Yes.. yes it is flawed (Like Northern Iowa being #4). He (and others) ALWAYS think UNI is better than they are!
These rankings based on strength of schedule and scores of games played. So this first ranking leans on last year a lot and a fair idea on how the FCS looks.
The numbers will change every week and are affected by wins/ loses and scores.
EXAMPLE: If the Griz played North Dakota State at home. 73.70(NDS) - (65.53(UM)+3.00 home team) = ND State favored by 5.17 points in Missoula
SAGARIN TOP 10
1- North Dakota State 73.70
2- South Dakota State 68.85
3- Montana 65.53
4- Northern Iowa 61.71
5- Southern Illinois 59.54
6- kittens 59.00
7- Missouri State 58.30
8- Sam Houston 56.96
9- Weber 57.76
10- Sac State 56.93
Home team gets a plus 3 (Will vary as the season goes on) so the Griz schedule would look like this for Vegas numbers based on starting point of Sagarin.
