in case anyone was looking at the added games this week in college, i was looking into some of these and the 5 teams that are on the betting line, you have E.Ill vs Ind st, and Alcorn st at NC Central, and S.Utah is at San jose st
early season rankings have Alcorn st at #31....NC Central at #106...e.ill is #115, and Ind st is # 62 S.utah is #81 those are the pre season rankings they have out ...that is based on what we call the simple rating system which works with a bunch of numbers when combined show a + to - ratio the #1 team N.dak st is at +2 ...seems low i know but that is it i am going to try and print the whole list here ...as you see from #1 to #126 it only goes from a +2 to a -like -2.26 so that is 126 teams crushed into between like 4.5 pts but there is a system to doing it, and this from what i have came up with and some of my friends, is about right, there are some others where a few teams are switched by a fraction or so , but before the season anyway it is a gauge to look at, so figured i'd trow it out there, always trying to do my due diligence .... gl everyone this year,hoping to have another solid year, one thing for sure, we are doing the homework,you can find this online iam sure at spots, i have some teams switched but its pointless early on, so i just posted this one , notice the big diff between 5 and 6
