???Okay--I'm a lurker, not a poster. But I'm a spreadsheet and research kinda girl. Their press release is false. It is wrong. I went to each and every rating website that CUSA listed (Massey, Anderson & Heater, Colley, Billingsley, Sagarin, and Wolfe) and their rating numbers are wrong five times (3 for Rice and 2 for Marshall)!!! Only one of the five mistakes is in Marshall's favor. Can someone get this to Hamrick, Holiday, whoever??? I've got it in a spreadsheet and am working on saving the PDF's with dates and timestamps...Here are the facts:Massey: Marshall's 66 rank is correct; Rice is listed as 59 on CUSA's site, but they are actually ranked 76. (http://www.masseyratings.com/rate.php?s=cf2013)Anderson & Hester: Marshall's 63 rank is correct; Rice's 49 rank is correct. (http://www.andersonsports.com/football/ACF_frnk.html)Colley Rankings: Marshall's 56 rank is correct; Rice's 43 rank is correct. (http://www.colleyrankings.com/currank.html) Billingsley: Marshall's 41 rank is correct; Rice's 42 rank is correct. (http://www.cfrc.com/Ratings_2013/WK_14.htm) Sagarin: Marshall is listed on CUSA's site as rank 56, but we are actually 53; Rice is listed as rank 54 on CUSA's site, but they are actually 72. (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/ncaaf/sagarin/)Wolfe: Marshall is listed on CUSA's site as rank 54, but we are actually 56; Rice is listed as rank 44, but they are actually 45.
