Massey composite

[Vowelguy]

Akron takes over top (bottom) spot after loss to UMass. And chances of a win are not high.
UMass 2nd worst.
Then UTEP, BGSU, NMSU, USA, UTSA
UConn 8th.

On the other side, Ohio St #1, Clemson 3rd, and Aub 4th (Bama #2).
Among conferences:

1. B12 39.9
2. SEC 43.0 -- 8% below line above
3. P12 45.1 -- 5%
4. B10 46.8 -- 4%
5. ACC 56.4 -- 21%
6. AAC 63.2 -- 12%
7. MTN 72.5 -- 15%
8. IND 81.6 -- 13%
9. SUN 85.4 -- 5%
10. MAC 97.3 -- 14%
11. USA 99.2 -- 2%

So the top 4 are close, then there's a big gap between each of the subsequent conferences, except MAC & CUSA.
And an impressive downfall by CUSA. Almost all its teams are former SunBelt members. And yet they are much worse than the programs that the SUNB pulled up from FCS to survive.

Akron, UMass, UTEP hold down top 3, with UConn surging to #4.

BCS: 1) Rutgers, 2) GaTech 3) Vandy

If you pull #4 out of the conference composite, they get much closer to the pack.

If you pull #4 out of the conference composite, they get much closer to the pack.

and if you pull the bottom feeder out of each BCS conference, would not the pack pull further away?

But only one of those is leaving.

This week ... without UConn, the AAC moves ahead of the ACC in a 'mean' sense. But not a fair comparison. W/o UConn, AAC teams will have 1 more game against each other and that will hurt some teams, likely bringing avg down.

Most of the low "bottom feeders" are non p5 teams. Vowel's point is tough to evaluate until the season is done given most of the makeup of the indexes right now at this point in the season is based on out of conference play.

Sorry but the Pac 12 stinks and not one team is on par with the top other four conferences.
