Sagarin.....UL jumps to #48 (Predictor ranking is #43)

Interesting......not only would UL lead the Sunbelt at #48. UL also leads all CUSA teams. UL is also the #4 highest ranking non BCS team. Boise/Ohio/USU top 3. UL is ranked in the middle of pack in the SEC too.

OK State# 23
Arkansas #47
ULM #77 (There is no SEC bias...nope)
Tech #89 (Tech would be the 4th best team in the Missouri Valley Conference)
Tulane #174

Probably a first, Sunbelt has 0 teams without a win by week #2. CUSA ranked overall #9/Sunbelt #11. Exactly half of CUSA teams have not won a game yet.

Very interesting. Seems not too long ago that most of the Belt had to wait till league play to get first wins. Except Troy.... and we beat them at their house I do belive. On to Nations..

Big jump after the 2nd win. Preseason 110, after week 1 we were 104.

Yet more proof that Jeff Sagarin sniffs glue.

Well to be fair, its a computer ranking albeit his computer rankings of course. And a lot of it deals with SOS in preseason, then who you played after that. And when we have a 150+ SOS by some measures and had played a FCS team, its not hard to understand the ranking in those weeks.
