I always thought Sagarin's rankings were crap.  Unbiased, maybe.  But still crap.

Unbiased inasmuch that his ratings are computer generated, but the program IMO is too heavily weighted by his previous year results.   

The algorithms he uses makes it very difficult for lower ranked teams to ever move up. 

So his initial rankings based on his prior year assessment are almost as important as the current year record.

Right now, any league with UTEP and Rice will be rated low. We've been the ones to lower the ranking before, too, so its not unusual for a school or too in the Texas G5s to really be bad. SMU in 2014, us in 2015, Rice and UTEP in the last few years, and probably UTSA very soon, have all reached the depths of college football.
