Lehigh at No. 8 above Maine, Villanova, Towson and SHSU. Sounds about right to me. xthumbsupx xlolx

I swear when I glanced over the title, I thought it say Doucheness Indifference Index...and I thought it was going to be a joke poll of the teams with the most arrogant fans.

Of course, I am forced to admit that it begs the question..."what was my brain really thinking about?"

Rather bizarre looking results (not just these first five, but most of them).

It assumes that if Team A beats Team B by seven points or more, that Team A would beat every other team that Team B has beaten

Soooooo...when Team A beats Team B by seven points, but a team Team B beat beats Team A, the entire system is completely invalidated. Got it.

And this gem:
I have never been a fan of statistical theory.

Then why the f are you making a statistical model?

So, Pards are the median team of FCS? Meh...

Ranked ahead of our next three opponents though...

Sorry Gumby, but a team like Fordham would get killed by a team like Georgia. Having done this years ago, the real problem with interdivision and intersubdivision rankings is that there are not enough crossover games for the model to be valid.
