So once again they keep getting rewarded for losing. "But, they played hard teams. But, they scheduled two FBS teams".
I think it was two years ago when they were 1-5 and still in the Top 25.
Look at their three wins this year. Ish.
Let's also remember that Portland State had never seen Bartels before and game-planned for Mollberg and that style of play-calling. Now, SUU will have an entire of half of Bartels tape and the play-calling that went with him at QB. Was it largely different? Don't know. But its something to factor in.
