Getting no love from Sagarin. #61 (SOS is #13 to date). Utah State, Utah,

Sagarin rating doesn't any subjectivity in his ratings. The problem here is the

As the season goes on, the preseason weightings are diminished and eventually

Never eliminated, he's keeping 15% weight to last year's results all year

Only thing that makes me want to do is ignore Sagarin.

9/19/18 4:15pm

Why on earth would he do that? What does last year's results have to do with

On the bright side, I guess the 4-9 team only sucked 85% as much as we thought

No idea why he thinks it's a good idea. I think it's stupid too.

What are the effects?

He's an idiot for weighting the prev year the same across the board. Nonsense.
