Sagarin's methods also continue to like us, despite our 4-3 record. We are ranked 22 in his predictor methodology, and 16 and 18 in the other two! Sagarin also thinks we have had the #1 hardest schedule in FBS so far. All of these predictive rankings that take into account strength of schedule may imply that we don't give our schedule enough credit. I wonder if perhaps it's because we didn't expect WSU or CU to be as good as they are and we aren't realizing how good they actually are.

I will take the optimism and be bullish on 2017 (and still think 9-3 this year is very possible, which isn't so bad).
