AGS Top 25 - How They Fared Week 7

[superman7515]

Week 7 is in the books and there was a lot going on in the Top 25. Seven teams lost, four of them now have to win out to get to that magic 7 win mark, and things weren't exactly all chalk for the teams just outside the Top 25 either. Remember that the Sagarin Rankings are through last weeks games until you see the asterisks removed and that the results hyperlink to recap articles to help give a little more insight than just a box score.

It's going to be another interesting week filling out those poll ballots, so if you notice any errors, please let me know so I can get them corrected and thank you all for making "How They Fared" the number 1 tool on AGS for filling out your brackets each week and for your help in keeping it accurate and useful!

Congratulations to the James Madison Dukes for being the first to clinch seven D1 wins this season and a reminder...
Green = 7 D1 wins
Yellow = Must win out for 7 D1 wins
Red = Can't reach 7 D1 wins

Sad not to see my Bears on there but we lost our starting 2 QBs...Great defense that held McNeese to 160 yards offense, 47 in the first half...sadly a backup QB just couldn't get it done and we turned it over too many times. 3-3 but we have some winnable games if we can get our QBs healthy.

But that's not all!!! We have a few more teams that can no longer make it to seven D1 wins, so unless you make a big run for the conference title... Turn off the lights, the show is over!

Honestly glad I don't have to vote this week. Good luck guys!

I went back in and added the Strength of Schedule this week because there are so many 4-2/4-3 teams. That's the SOS rank in FCS, so Northern Iowa's SOS of #1 is #1 in the FCS, I'm not claiming they're #1 in all of Division 1. On the flip side, the Jacksonville Dolphins SOS of #123 is #123 out of the 125 teams in the FCS, not #123 out of the 250+ plus football teams in Division 1.

Is the vs AGS top 25 stat as of today or when the game was played? Coastal is listed as 0-0 although they have a win over #23 WIU.

That's at the time the game was played.

Such a wonderful tool. And appreciate the added SOS, Sagarin's columns. Helps clarify who's earning quality wins, vs those taking a soft schedule.

Southern Utah and Portland State are rolling. The Tbirds should definitely be ranked, and PSU should be in the top 10.

I'm also in that line of thinking. Additionally, I am wondering what to do with Charleston Southern in the coming weeks if they keep winning. Potentially big game coming up in the Big South on Halloween.
