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.
(H) Northwestern State (Griz a 29.97 favorite)
(H) South Dakota (Griz by 12.04)
(A) Indiana State (Griz by 15.62)
(H) Portland Stet (Griz by 22.99)
(A) Idaho State (Griz by 23.42)
(H) Idaho (Griz by 21.26)
(A) Sac State (Griz by 5.60)
(A) Weber (Griz by 4.77)
(H) Cal Poly (Griz by 28.71)
(H) EWU (Griz by 12.52)
(A) kittens (Griz by 3.53)
 
The home team +3 will vary as the season goes on but its just easier to use the 3 points for the home team for this purpose.

ALSO... Sam Houston is transitioning to FBS in 2023, so Ieft them in this discussion but I believe they are not FCS playoff eligible.

I have always appreciated the Sagarin rankings but UNI at four is ridiculous.

I've never understood this. I guess they feel like ND State is SO Good that UNI gets the shaft from playing such a tough team. Its a joke

2 Years they got in at 6-5 and there were 10+ 7 win teams and a few 8 win teams that did not get in.

2018 at 6-5 they beat Lamar 16-13 then lost to Davis
2021 at 6-5 lost to Eastern 19-9

2017 they were 7-4 and got in.

There is some dumbfuKery going on here!
