How does South Dakota State not even budge after a loss?

Oops I totally read that as South Dakota.  Too many Dakota's.

A mystery to me.  Yes, they are undefeated, but Fordham's FBS win was a one point victory over 1-8 Temple, and they've eeked out two point wins over 3-7 Holy Cross and 3-5 St Francis (PA).  How does such a weak SOS, with marginal wins over weak opponents, outrank a team undefeated in the MVFC and with its only loss to the team leading the Legends division of the Big 10?

They must simply look at overall record and not much else.

  Go Penguins!

I agree...it's crazy...

Because of a strong showing in the computer polls, the Guins are now 6th in the GPI.

Just saw that were ranked 19th in SOS. Highest ranked team in MVC.

The rankings lunacy continues with Fordham.  They move up a spot to 5th with a come from behind 2 point win over 4-5 Bucknell.  Fordham is ranked above Maine, who is undefeated in the CAA and whose only loss this year was to Northwestern.  Also, they are ranked above the 8-2 Griz, a team who plays and usually defeats Big Sky teams every weekend.
