Good point.

How would the computers rank an FCS school? Like the App State argument after they beat Michigan - they could have also beat the bottom 50% of the FBS.

Not that Northwestern State is anywhere close to that level, but the question remains: how does a (objective) computer know that NWS is infinitely worse than ULL (a rent-a-win in Ok State's win column)?

About the same as having an OPEN DATE. Rarely doesn't it hurt, it just doesn't help. But playing Miss State or Ole Miss isn't much better.

*** COLLEY sometimes punishes you a very little bit by playing a poor team, but that is a bit of anamoly
