An average football team is a huge step up

No way there would be a 43 point difference if that game was played 2 months later. I think others saw that too.

Actually, we are much better than average.

Because we are effectively in a one-team G5 league, I'd argue it would be more appropriate to average out the S&P ratings for all our contemporaries and then compare UCONN to them, creating a metric similar to OPS+ in MLB.

Hoping he means it's been a long time since they were ranked that high at end of season. Don't know who Graham is. Says he is the football guy.

Connolly’s SP+ ratings were created in 2008.

We had to be ranked higher in 2009, no?

Wouldnt mind if EA Sports College Football got a little end of season update.....but guessing they hold off on that until August.

UConn remained @ #67 - nestled between Georgia Tech and Washington State
