Did you get it right? No, because no one should believe that trying to rank teams after one game against vastly different levels of opponents should have any meaning whatsoever.

Needs to be done weekly so we can document Shizz's crystal ball work.

I think you should tire yourself out and go add the FCS schools. Some regional FCS schools are better than a few programs listed above.

The same Rutgers that barely beat Ohio?!?!?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

As Pittsburgh is basically as far west as Morgantown (Morgantown's westernmost point is slightly east of Pittsburgh's westernmost point), why was WVU excluded?

Too far south

Pennsylvania is unquestionably northeastern and Pitt is in Pennsylvania. I don't consider West Virginia northeastern (mid-atlantic + New England). It's kind of its own thing.

Too far south

Navy and Maryland are further south and Delaware is basically the same latitude.

Pennsylvania is unquestionably northeastern and Pitt is in Pennsylvania. I don't consider West Virginia northeastern (mid-atlantic + New England). It's kind of its own thing.

Mid-Atlantic is not the northeast and anyone who is native to either Maryland or Delaware does not consider their location northeast.

The Shilambert Trophy?

FWIW, WVU was/is eligible for the Lambert Trophy, so the TD Club of NY views it as eastern.,

-huge gap-
11. UMass

Delaware and Maryland are mid-atlantic to me, and I believe by most considerations. I think UMass being really bad made Temple look much better than they are, and Army is still going to be very good. That Tarleton State team is talented. They've got a handful of guys that played real meaningful snaps in the P4 on their 2-deep, and Army having a shaky first game isn't a new phenomenon. Monken is still an excellent coach, I expect them to be .500+ in the American. I would like to put Army ahead of UB, but Buffalo at least made an interesting game against Minnesota (greatly helped by Minnesota easing in a true freshman at QB). Navy with Horvath might be a better team right now than BC, but I'll give BC the ACC media bias. UMass looks even more dysfuctional than I thought possible. I think 2 through 8 could very easily be tossed all around, and 3 through 7 in particular could be totally turned on its head this week alone.

People ranking Rutgers so high after scraping by Ohio. What on earth...

 

[Samoo]

The Shilambert Trophy?

Or the Lambizzle Trophy?

 

[Jetskies]

interesting concept. surely fun to make and debate subsequently.
unfortunately the opponents these NE teams face are too varied for any ranking to render any true meaning. it's like ranking NFL and UFL teams, to put penn state and UMass on any list together. It's not fair to UMass and it means nothing.

The Shizz version of the Lambert Trophy.

Now the Lambert-Meadowlands Trophy. Won by UConn in 2010. When Miami, VT, Louisville, Cincy and USF were in the Big East (football) they were eligible to win the award. Not exactly northeast squads

Their schedules were against majority East/northeast squads, IIRC that is a provision.

I give you an A for enthusiasm and a B- for your predictions.
