UNLV Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 SFA beat Drake and makes a 40 spot jump in the poll...now ahead of Lamar Lamar beat 56 ranked Tech, but only moves up 10 spots... Lamar is ranked 50 spots below tech... Sagarin...
TexasTerror Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 Several things... 1) Sagarin is not a poll 2) SFA's win came on the road, which is worth more than a LU home win 3) RPI has SFA at 85, Lamar at 94 (Tech is 75). Why should a team automatically be ahead of the team they beat in a rating system? That's one game of what will ultimately be 30ish plus.

But 50 spots ahead of a team that beats you is crazy.
UNLV Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Posted December 14, 2008 Ok pomeroy is out... Texas Tech is 70, Lamar, who beat them, is 157...
Guest mffl Posted December 14, 2008 Report Posted December 14, 2008 The loss to Indiana State really killed us... so did the blowout to UK.
