Some CUSA rankings, including in state school and non-UTA OOC,
AVERAGE of USA Today (Paul Myerberg), SP+ (Bill Connelly), and Massey Composite (parenthesis has them in order).
B. SLULL 60.33 (72, 56, 58)
C. NLULM 105.33 (93, 114, 109)
D. BGSU 127.33 (127, 128, 127)
E. UMASS 130 (130, 130, 130)
Not looking great so far (horrid SOS), but it shows the depth of the western division. We actually seemed to have dropped in SP+ by beating FIU (likely also BGSU's huge loss to Kent St). SLULL got a HUGE boost from beating Ohio (~30-40 on SP+, 21+ on USA), though I think Marshall, Boise St, and Ohio are overrated this year (Boise barely beat a struggling FLSt. team that played a Grambling St 2nd half up ~20, maybe they'll improve through the season, but Marshall's great performance seems suspect to me).
