GM fans! Today's update from TA. Ten of TA's top 25 lost last week.

UConn up to 3rd place among opponents.

UConn is all the way up to 57 at CBS, +11, one spot ahead of Clemson!! Probably too high but rankings are rankings!!
bcu is at 97
I didn't expect Delaware at 99 to drop out altogether here

 

[BRS24]

This week's update. UConn still ranked 3rd among opponents. Five top25 ranked teams from this list lost. Syracuse loses nothing after a thrashing by GA Tech.

These ranking are crazy: Citrus U lost to GA Tech in a blowout, but didn't move down, we lost in OT and we fell 4 positions. Is this done with a Ouija board?

A quick Sunday update before the rankings are released tomorrow. UConn is the first of the group to become bowl eligible. Let's see how close we get to Syracuse because, lol.

Syracuse can't be that high anymore.

Syracuse can't be that high anymore.

Yep, however both teams would need to move a minimum of +/-12 spots for UConn to surpass Syracuse (assuming my math is correct), and I don't see that happening.

This week's update. UConn ranked 2nd among opponents, moving up 6 spots. Ok sure. Five top25 ranked teams from this list lost. Four undefeateds left. Syracuse is the big loser of the week. BCU moves up 2 spots by only getting beat 15 pts to ND. Sure Jan.

Note that I'll be away and sans laptop for the next two weeks, so not sure I can do all this fancy copypasta stuff on an iPad. We'll see how it goes.

In Europe, no laptop, and just an iPad, and I’m not paying Microsoft $$ for the Office 365, so this and next weeks’ posts will be super abbreviated. Apologies in advance for any typos.

For the first time ever, UConn is at the top of the list of all opponents, and finally recognized for its body of work, even if the other teams are not cream of the crop.

48 UConn (+28), 7-3
49 Duke (-10), 5-4
88 Syracuse (-3), 3-7
95 Delaware (+5), 5-4
96 Rice (+6), 5-5
105 Buffalo (+2), 5-4
109 Air Force (+7), 3-6
110 BC (-4), 1-9
113 Florida Atlantic (+1), 4-5
115 UAB, 3-6
122 FIU (+1), 4-5
129 Ball State (+7), 4-5
