He also chose to use just one year this decade vs what I’m guessing were some high quality years from the 2000’s.

Was there a post prior to this one?...

The earliest set of Sagarin ratings I can get to is for 1998. In the context of the overall Division I final rankings then the top 5 I-AA teams were rated 64, 65, 66, 79, and 88.
As of now in 2018 the top 5 FCS (I-AA) teams are rated 24, 58, 73, 79, and 90.
Obviously North Dakota State is the 24. But, at least according to Sagarin, I'm not seeing a big difference between 2 through 5 in 1998 and 2 through 5 in 2018 in terms of how the top I-AA/FCS teams rank in the overall Division I context.

Re: Is FCS (Beside NDSU) Really This Bad?
It's actually kind of funny that you guys are accusing us of not liking new teams. I liked when we had 6 different teams in 6 years win the title from 2000-05. I've always thought that as you go down in talent, teams seem to repeat more often. IOW, when the talent is up overall for a division, you have more teams winning championships.

Re: Is FCS (Beside NDSU) Really This Bad?
This decade, we might have to look up the different runner-ups in FCS also. 8 different in 9 years. 2000-2010 had 7 dfferent in 10 years.

Ummm....yeah like this one by 93hen from 11/9 on page 3:
No, it's more than perspective.
Here are the final rankings in D1 of the top 5 FCS/I-AA teams by year in Sagarin:
2018: 31, 58, 80, 83, 85 (avg 67.4)
Last 5 years of last decade
2010: 52, 57, 58, 72, 75 (62.8)
2009: 30, 49, 57, 60, 76 (54.4)
2008: 41, 45, 62, 63, 69 (56.0)
2007: 44, 62, 67, 71, 73 (63.4)
2006: 53, 57, 59, 70, 71 (62.0)
So even with NDSU figured in, current FCS is decidedly weaker. Take away NDSU and it's WAY weaker.

Re: Is FCS (Beside NDSU) Really This Bad?
So next year the number could change to 10 or 11 different teams making the finals. Not a big change from 13 over a 10 year span. I'm just not seeing FCS overall as down, except ECB football, and even then, the JMU team this decade was far better than the JMU team of last decade.89Hen wrote:Maybe you should do your own research kalm.kalm wrote:
