The weighted 5 year hates us, understandably. Shocked the recruiting impact is so low. Need to look into that. going to be a lot of close games this year...

 

[sackman]

Here's why we are so low:

"what you see below is a projection based solely off of seasons two to five years ago."

No credit given for the massive improvement last year at all.

That would explain the recruiting issue. Kind of crazy we are even as high as we are if so.

 

[DeNiro]

Arizona's drop off looks to continue without last year even taken into account.

 

[Medford M.]

Same story, different year for CSU. They spent the latter half of their year beating on the sisters of the poor in the MWC and think they're actually good. Then they play us and get smoked. Theres a reason they looked bad against us last year. They're bad.

Agreed. My close friend an avid Ram brings up the progression through the second half of their season. Then they go and get smoked by Idaho. I'm leaning towards us still routing them September 1st.
