Bloomington’s own Sagarin Ratings - Week 6
Little 8 meltdowns again pushed IU slightly up in Sagarin rankings. Winning the games now projected as wins, puts IU as bowl eligible with a Bucket victory in Ross-Aide at 6 – 6.
Sagarin says there are six teams worse than IU in BiG. Huskers got credit for pushing Michigan at home, and moved up. Maryland was downgraded by its homecoming visit to tOSU, and is now rated below IU.
IU overtook Wisconsin as the toughest schedule in the nation: Wisconsin is now second.
The math doesn’t make allowances for injuries however.
Week 6
My take on (ESPN) week 6 FPI — I say IU’s record will exceed 4-7 or 2-9. Beat Sparty! (<— Link)
