The rankings were released today, and they have ranked as the #5 team in the nation.

However, they toss out this disclaimer after ranking at #4: “Take the teams from No. 5 to, roughly, No. 35, throw them in a bag and pick them out, and you’d probably have the right order.”

Check it out:

5. 4-0

Last Week: W, Ball State 54-30
This Week: at


Why the ranking is too high: The special teams are struggling a bit with no return game, and the home win over a few weeks ago was a bit shaky needing turnovers to win. hasn’t gone on the road yet and now has to go away for three of the next four games.


Why the ranking is too low: The 49-24 win over in Week Two now looks really, really strong. The offensive line has been fantastic, and after the win over Ball State, Chris Todd and the passing game proved they can move the offense if needed.
