Found this of interest - ranking us at 120 seems wildly low, but to be fair it’s probably hard to gauge G6 teams in the NIL/portal era for the national media heading into a new season.

Also of note that the MAC is ranked higher than the C-USA, and that it’s being dragged down by the bottom 3 teams.

It's rough seeing us ranked lower than Eastern Michigan--even though it's fairly meaningless. I'm guessing somebody spent a limited amount of time on this and thought the loss of the coach and a lack of an experienced QB made the Cats #7 in the conference (by my quick count).

I checked the two different models ESPN has and we are 109/96 in those.

I have a feeling we will be finishing the year ranked a lot higher.
