Some interesting things in his ratings found
http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbt12.htm.
NDSU is ranked 37th, and the next closest FCS team is EWU at 79.
UNI comes in at 95 ahead of all but 7 FCS teams based on a strength of schedule of 16 compared to NDSU's SoS of 185.
Harvard is above all but NDSU, EWU, and GSU in the FCS.
Montana is at 108, MSU 111.
A bunch of other stuff in there. Take it all with a grain of salt.

With a SOS of 183 and 221, I don't blame you guys.

That matters little, our schedule is backloaded. We have Towson and JMU on the road and potential postseason matchups with all these teams that played harder schedules.

And if you beat them, you'll move up. If you don't, you'll stay where you are or move down. Pretty simple.

It also matters little when teams at the top load their SOS with an FBS team or two, lose, and then brag about their SOS.

At least at the FCS level, schools have a chance prove the clueless coaches, homer pollsters, and computer nerds wrong. Win 7 games, and you more than likely have a shot to prove you are the best program in the country. If you aren't in the SEC and you have one loss in the FBS, your school is f'd.

No you didn't. You're following up Campbell, Hampton, and Duquesne with conference games. Hey look, we backloaded our schedule too!
