Week 13 Deathrattle Sports Bottom 5 rankings Print E-mail

So another big shake-up in my bottom 5 rankings with the "domers" squeaking out a "W" against Duke and then Utah State rising up and pulling down a "W" against New Mexico State. I have included a limited basis for my ranking this week by including the bottom-fivers opponents overall record. This will be the final bottom 5 ranking, as for the season finale I will do an actual bottom 10.

Now on with the count-down!

Number 5 - Duke "Bedevils" - Stretched their record to 1-10 with a loss to previous number 5 ranked Notre Dame. Their ranking is based on the fact that their strength of schedule is pretty good/bad at 79-55 a .589 percentage

Number 4 - Minnesota "rodents" - Lost Saturday to Wisconsin in their season finale for the battle of Paul Bunyan's Ax. With strength of schedule of 91-48 for a percentage of .659, the best of the bottom 5 team's, their season is now complete.

Number 3 - SMU "donkeys" - At 1-10 they make their season debut into the bottom 5 with a strong 59-20 loss to UCF Saturday. With strength of schedule of 66-66 they have the weakest/strongest case for the number 1 spot if Florida International can win their last game. The ‘stangs finish up their season against Memphis.

Number 2 - Idaho "scandals" - They now stand at 1-10 on the Season after getting bombed by Boise State 52-14 Saturday. They have an impressive 67-63 opponent's record going into their final game against equally impressive conference foe Utah State also at 1-10.

Number 1 - Florida International "yellow cats" - Carrying an impressive losing streak of 23 straight games. They look to cement their ranking as number 1 against conference foe Florida Atlantic who is battling for the conference championship. Their current strength of schedule stands at 67-63, but they have an advantage since they finish against 1-9 North Texas to close out the season.

Dropping out Utah State Aggies and Notre Dame. See you next week for the first Bottom 10 rankings.

Itoffishul: You jest suggesting the wolves belong in Bugeaters bottom five. I will agree a promising season went up in smoke.

Yea I know, but next week I am going to expand the ranking to 10, so more spots available at that point. Y'alll have to admit that it is very hard to argue with any of my 5, especially since some have "losses" over the teams you want back in. smilies/grin.gif

A bad loss to Stanford should for sure return ND to the bottom 5, IMO.
